Pick up Nothing less than an SRT4!!!!

[Big_Fat]

hard to find one for 8 grand or less. my buddy just got one but that is a little outta my price range

[Redlined_8000]

For your first car out of that list, Id go with either the Sir or 3rd MR2. just my opinion.

You got a good budget for your first car, look around some more, dont rush it.

[sxtothe240]

i'd say SIR.

i agree the SiR is in MINT condition and that third MR2 is pretty clean and pretty cheap too

[Proyecto2000]

would you consider a 1999-2001 infiniti g20? once in awhile you see a nice one pop up in the autotrader.

-edit-

found one on kijiji

[Big_Fat]

hmmmm maybe i never even heard of those maybe ill ckeck one out thanks!

[acura_el]

What's your budget? Around $7-10K? I was going to recommend an RSX but that may be a bit out of your price range.

Out of the options you have posted, I'd say SIR is the best one, but I think it's a little overpriced to be honest.

[G-ZUS]

That Civic was at regal auctions on saturday

[Big_Fat]

I have looked at a base model RSX but im a little iffy on them im more into the MR2 or a Civic

[cityhunter2501]

for how long have you been driving?
are you planning to drive the car during winter as well?

I recommend the SiR and the 3rd Integra, don't know how easy/safe it is to drive a MR during winter.

Personally, I wouldn't buy car from someone with spelling that as atrocious as it is in the ad for the Civic.

[redsrt4]

if it's your all season car, ill choose the SIR or the 3 integra

[Arthur Dent]

I'd check on insurance on those ...

story plz

[Big_Fat]

Thats my friend i owe him like 250 lol

[Big_Fat]

I just putthese threads up so i can get a sense of what i need to look for when looking for a car and what kind of cars i should look at for a first ride. And what price range so far i got a pretty good idea of what i should look for and what i wanna get

[FiveFreshFish]

Get something cheap. Chances are that you'll crash your first car or something will happen to it while parked at school.

And repay your buddy before you buy a car. Otherwise, you'll have a tough time paying him back once you have to pay for insurance, gas and maintenance.

[B4tMan]

pay your bud

then go pick up the MR2

[eglove]

there has to be something up with that SiR for that price

[Super_Geo]

For your first car buy something that's not at the upper limits of your affordability.

Getting a Civic SiR that has 180k and probably has been bagged to shit is a terrible idea. You might get lucky and nothing goes wrong... or you might have some major repairs right around the corner. Or you might back into a pole and need to spend $800 getting a new rear bumper. Or you might hit a curb and need to spend $600 fixing your rim and then getting 2 new tires.

Most important thing to consider right now: Can you afford repairs if they come up?

[weeznah]

i wouldnt buy that 3rd mr2.
just my opinion though...not worth your while

[Big_Fat]

i will pay hijm back as soon as i get some money. but im definatley looking into an MR2 for my first ride

[Kittens11]

..... and tomorrow it will be a mini cooper. LoL love how u changed your display pic from Honda 2 Toyota after you decided on a MR2...jokezzz..

[Big_Fat]

Haha MR2 is my final decision lol i kinda couldnt make up my mind for awhile but an MR2 is my final desicion. No jokes lol

[tarrantas]

get the mr2 all the way man they're quick as hell

[IntegraG2]

buy my car haha :poosie:

Out of the three you have posted I would go for the MR2. boost is best...It shouldnt be too bad to drive all season as long as you get some good winter tires and get used to how much gas you can give the car in the winter.

Good luck on your search.......:thumbsup:


edit: and if you are new drive please find a USDM one
