Have $4500.00 - NEED SUGGESTIONS ON A USED CAR!

[Maniacc]

So I got some decent money from the insurance for my wrecked wrx.

Living on my own doesn't really give me the pleasure to get back into the racing/car scene, and I'm really looking for something different. Suv, sedan, whatever. I would really like to get my hands on an e36 m3, but for what I'm looking to spend I doubt I'll come across something. Though I have the money to get me a nice one -I'd rather save and keep some decent change in my bank account.

With two jobs I don't really have time to set down and research so help me out and throw any car out there that would be reliable, fun, decent looking, ect. for 4k.

Help will be appreciated. Much thanks, IA.

[HypnoToad]

ill sell u a camaro:ninja:

[XanRules]

older Impreza or Legacy GT. :)

[Nittanys1]

my friend has a lot of decent cars below $1,500 a few would be good platforms to make a build with, if your interested send me a PM.

[Maniacc]

A camero would be fun, but it's too old of a car -especially the looks.

An older impreze is well... meh.

One of the cars that I've been looking at has been a '97 Isuzu Rodeo. Blacked out would look pretty kewl.

Mm well a friend of mine is selling his cadillac deville. Clean body except for a minor dent and super low milage for the year.
Here's the link if u wana check it out atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/1314669526.html
He knows hes not gettin wat he askd for he just set it high. But he may take 4500.

[Maniacc]

Btw since I'm up I decided to look at the older model SIs.

You guys know. The one with the b16, coupe that was a starter car in one of the recent need for speeds. And FUCK! They're selling em for 8-9 THOUSAND? Shit, I thought hondas would be cheap.

Personally I'd avoid the Rodeo. That GM engine is...eh. When I worked at Honda there was a reason there was 4-6 Passport blocks sitting on the floor at any given time lol!

Let's just say I'd choose a 4runner over it. Here's one with 100k for $4,100

Ahh, this is more like it.

I'll check up on the em and see what I find. Thanks, dude.

[speedminded]

Ahh, this is more like it.

I'll check up on the em and see what I find. Thanks, dude.Anytime. The Hoerunners are pretty much bulletproof. For reliability and simplicity I'd take it over the Rodeo/Passport, Pathfinder, or Discovery. I've owned and/or worked on them all. They do drink gas though, just not as bad as the Disco lol!

Find one you really like and throw down an hours labor at a Toyota dealership to have it inspected, there's a few Toyota master techs that are members on here that would probably do it on the side for a deal too.

[Maniacc]

Anyone else?

Naw I saw it a while back and liked it, my girlfriend has a stock one and it's been nothing but reliable and VERY nice to drive, I LOVE it.

It would be nice if he had better pictures, but I'm about to give him a call.
Hopefully it's not sold yet.

If the interior and motor are in good condition -it's mine! Thanks a lot, Simon.

[Elbow]

No problem.

[Maniacc]

Man wtf.

Dude said that he's not sure if he's gonna sell it. UGHHHHHHHHHHH he sounded black, but might just be a white dude with a deep voice.

Fucker said to call him this weekend. :(

[Elbow]

WTF why post it for sale then? lol. Sorry, maybe he will change his mind.

[jmmx258]

We have a Honda Passport (the same thing as the rodeo). Ours is the V6. Its about garbage. 3 or 4 times now, i've had to fix timing, 3 water pumps, and several other things. We've had it less than a year.

G/l finding a vehicle though man. Hope you can snag that BMW looks real good in the CL ad.

[Maniacc]

I could buy it with that price but I'm gonna see how low I can go lol.

"I sent him this text: I have $3200 dollars right now. I too stay in norcross. Let me know man - I can get it off your hands by Saturday."

Dude said: "Cal me on Sat."

Well to be honest the only reason why I am even looking at the Rodeo is because I saw a pretty good looking one in my apartment complex. It's black, has aftermarket rims that are black, tint, and just looks like a car I would drive. With my smoking habit it's hard for me to keep a car clean and my tool-like appearance matches perfectly. It looks like a car that says; I don't give a fuck.

Haha, but yea thanks man. If he accepts somewhere between 32-3500 it's mine.

Spend $500 on a clunker from craigslist, then trade it in on an Chevy Aveo. Then it will be pretty much free with a warranty :)

[Maniacc]

The thing is - I need a car asap! I'm currently using my girlfriends accord and it's a pain having to ask my mom to pick her up after work. Since I work mornings and afternoons and don't get out til 11pm there is no way we could properly share this car.

Getting myself a reliable car right now is in the top TO DO LIST. Thanks for everyones help.

[mocha latte cupcake]

Getting myself a reliable car right now is in the top TO DO LIST. Thanks for everyones help.Why would it take more time to do the clunker thing? You can find a $500 running car then trade that bitch in all in the same day. Use yer noggin.

[Tracy]

See the thing is my illegal ass can't go through a dealer.

I pretty much have to get me a car from a private seller. After that I know someone who can hook me up with insurance.

[Maniacc]

Nope. Don't have a smart phone. Metro POS FTL. Just in a hurry.
Dude, I have a metro. They're awesome and get the job done!

Haha, thanks for everyones help. Don't have to at work til 5 so I'm gonna be a little busy looking through autotrader and craigslist. :( No shit talking today.

[Maniacc]

STILL NOTHING! Looking for a car sucks major pitbull cock. Add some tarter sauce and you're in trouble.

Hopefully I run into some rich guy on the way to work who just randomly hands me the keys to a 997 turbo, and tells me to fuck off.

[Kevykev]

Go find a 94-97 Accord for 22-2800, Done Deal.

Tons of hondas to choose from.

I will probably end up getting myself an suv or something though. Just don't wanna have payments again. :( but from the looks of it I probably will.

I don't buy cars from black people.

Shit would smell like coco butter and probably have pubes everywhere -eww no thanks.

[WTF?]

4-Runner or Pathfinder easy to find in you're price range and very dependable

[ksniperfox]

dont see the logic here. you have time to post on IA asking for suggestions/read responses but dont have the time to look for yourself?


anyway, that is beside the point. the thread is here.


i would suggest nothing financed, maybe an older sedan thats just fine for dd. when you got the cash to burn to make something fast, then buy a good platform. perhaps an accord? cheap, honda reliable, parts are easy to find if needed, inexpensive. i would look into an older 3 series coupe. but good luck, sucks about the rex.


deals are out there. my old roommate picked up an early 90s F250 running perfect, good body and interior for $750. just high miles and no ac. just keep lookin.

Thanks a ton everyone. If I am not posting at 1:30 in the morning I am posting around 2pm - 1 hour before I have to be at work. Don't have much time to even masturbate anymore. GRRRness -my life is a mess.

It's tough looking for a car, but having others help out feels great. Thanks again everyone!
