    just buy a civic.

    cheap to maintain, cheap to own, insurance isnt too bad on mine. the only thing to look out for is to not leave too much shit in it, cuz they get broken into/stolen on the regular.

    That's probably the only virginity you're ver gunna loose.


    Ya i was thinking about Civic Si but there's no decent unriced ones anymore. Like the 7th gen ones are all own by Afghans who put AFG for life on their windows and body kits wider than the car LOL.

    didnt think body kits could be used to slim out a car?
    anyways..

    Do you have a budget 2,3,4,5,6,7k?
    get a camry (97-99 i think the gen is?)
    they are priced very decent these days.. engines are awesome
    need next to nothing
    insurance is cheaper than civic (atleast it was for me?)
    better on gas mostly (4 cylinder obviously)

    look it up, go test drive 1
    enjoy ur first car !

    Naaw man I'm not the toyota kinda guy, I've always loved Honda cause it's the only thing that was ever in my family. Did you take driving school? Cause my brother told me that saves a shit load of money on preniums especially for 16 years old first timers lol

    Coming from the person who buys a civic...

    Some n00bs just need to learn to look for themselves.

    OP...IMO there are very few beyond members I would honestly buy a car from...because if you went on a cruise watch how half of them drive...bag the shit out of their cars.

    Price is a huge...the biggest thing you left out. I could tell you to buy a 2008 Acura TL type S...now that is expensive to some people but in your situation it may be cheap

    To be real now though....the cars that come to mind would be an Integra(my first car), A civic either hatchback or coupe, RSX's are coming down in price right now as well and can probably get a decent one for around $8000 depending on your finances once again. You also can't go wrong with accords good insurance, reliable and decently fast depending what ones you look into.

    instead of calling an insurance broker, make a call to an upgrade school and take english 10...

    Naaw GOFC is a good place to buy a first car and they have good service and the dealer helping said they give a one year free maintenance and they offer extended warranty


    Ya rsx might be cheaper now but the insurance is the bitch about them.


    You should use that thing as your winter beater. If the car in your signature is yours should park her for the winter

    Don't be asking for advice if you're not going to take it.

    OP please GTFO now...you ask for advice and your clearly an idiot.

    First of all learn how to use a search function...you know you want an acura or honda...look on kijiji

    Second of all I give you probably the best advice you would have ever recieved, which 1000 beyond members could back up about Gallery of Fine(peice of shit) cars, and you say no they are okay, once again learn how to use a fucking search function.

    Go buy a car from them and then I cannot wait to see what your next thread on beyond will be....let me guess "just bought my first car and broke down a block from dealership...need help what to do"...or "was promised one year oil changes but dealership lied, how do I change my oil"

    Accord's from the 90's are amazing...

    friend with '91 Accord EX: 390,000 km's
    friend with '95 Accod EX: 480,000 km's

    me with '94 Accord LX: 198,500 km's

    Seriously look for an Accord 1991-1997 if you want something that will last you a damn long time.

    and dealerships are evil
