Good First Cars?

uhm…

cars are not invesments.. like at all
probably the stupidest thing people do is buy new cars.

Truth. As soon as you buy a new car and take it off the lot, it loses a couple grand in value. The older cars get, the less value they are.
Unless you plan on keeping a car for 40 years in mint condition:???:

Had a $75 tercel as my first car. Lated a just over a year. Best $35 I ever spent.

Oh, and Ross, your best bet is to go for some small Japanese car. ie Mazda, Toyota, Honda, etc. You can get them for relatively cheap and they're very reliable.
And don't count on your insurance going down $300 after one year of good driving. I've had my same shitty car for 2 years, and I have got like 15[HTML_REMOVED]#37; off insurance. But that's spotless driving. There's nothing to say you will be perfect over the next year.

I can afford the G35 Coupe… but remeber just cuz I bought it for 35G dont mean thats what they will insure it for.. I rather have a nice lil car to beat up and have 200$ insurance insted of 500/600 for a kid who has 1 month driving under his belt. I wanna use my own cash to pay not my savings.. cuz then my intrest will drop and ill be making nothing on nothing.

I didnt ask for stupid remarks I ask for car information.

kid? one month driving?

how old you is rossco?

23 yearold with a N. have u sat at ICBC and watched the 40/50 yearolds going for L/N Tests Im not the only one.

i know i know.

i was judging, just curious

I forgot you knew.. hahaha

anyways from what ive gathered a civic DX from 1995 UP looks to be best bet.. any truck I want must have EXSTENDED CAB! i must have my subs and music.. so I need some room in the cab..

How about one of these?

Had a $75 tercel as my first car. Lated a just over a year. Best $35 I ever spent.

I'd stay away from anything sporty thats fwd and over 8 years old and asian.

Seriously.
Parts and work cost so much because everythings jammed in there

If it helps at all ross, I'm looking at buying in that price range in the next couple months, and a civic dx is very near the top of the list.

But really, just look at the buy and sell every day and don't get set on one car. I passed up a wicked deal on an old subaru legacy for that reason, and I really regret it.

Im on craigstlist every 3/4 hours checking 4000$ and under. a Corolla or sentra or Tercel are all in there.. aslong as they are 2 door..

it's an auto, but hey, it does have a turbo
