Im 17, from edmonton alberta, and ill be getting my license in about a weeks time. im currently looking for a car. originally i had my eyes on a 2006 VW Jetta TDI, i liked the looks, fuel economy, diesel reliability and german quality. however, the 10-14k price tag is quite a bit for a first car...
i was just randomly surfing ebay one day when my eyes chanced upon a red 1991 BMW 318is. i absolutely fell in love with the classic euro styling (i have a thing for that look). looking around i see good reviews, although most say its hard to maintain (being a 20 year old car im not suprised)
Ive found a few really nice specimens in great condition for 4-6k CAD. (with around 160-200k km) the price floors me.
the only thing that worries me about this car is the fact that i live in edmonton and we get some intense winters... it seems a bit low for snowy roads... anyone know how it will fair?
really im wondering what you more experienced drivers think of this car. and if you have any other suggestions of autos i should look at please let me know.
(heres the two listings that perked my interest the most):
