Reliable Car for $8k or less
Looking for a reliable car that I can trust on long trips, back and forth to work, etc. Something I won't have to worry about for a while ( has a good reputation ). I'm wanting an SUV, truck, or sedan/wagon. Cars I'm considering:
99-02 Toyota 4Runner
99-02 Toyota Tacoma
99 + Honda Accord Sedan
Nissan Xterra
Open to BMW, Subaru, Nissan
Will not consider anything domestic
What do you guys recommend?
I'd say honda SUV. Toyota and nissan are shitty
'92 C2500 6.5 Turbo Diesel | '96 240sx

crv's/pilots are good, as are 4 runners/tacoma's,frontiers etc...I've never been a fan of xterra's
toyota and nissan are both > honda IMO
Who has a car manufacturer name in their Username? Not me. I'm not a "fanboy" of any company, faggot. Go suck a cock.

For a small truck, Tacoma. For a small SUV, CR-V. For a sedan, Camry. And buy yourself a weekend sports car, cause you will die of boredom with these cars that never die.
toyota SUV owns all Honda & Nissan SUVs
On your list, I would go for the Accord. 02 on Camry would work as well. Corolla or Civic on the lower end of the size spectrum.
We've had a 4Runner, no complaints but I'm more comfortable judging the sedans than SUVs/trucks.
Honda/Toyota ftw for reliability. Nissan sucks for reliability, and yes I have first hand experience with many.
Indeed. But stray away from older Passports.
At this point in my automotive life for a DD/non sports car I would only buy Honda/Acura or Toyota/Lexus.
Not many people are mentioning your choice of truck, the SUV and car areas are covered. The Toyota truck is a great idea, they run for a long time and are extremely useful, just don't tell your friends or you'll have a friend moving every weekend. I don't know why my dad ever sold his '94, that thing was a champ. If you have any question whether they are amazing, just look up Killing a Toyota on Top Gear on YouTube, they are the best.
I personally would love to have an Element, they are useful as long as you don't mind driving a box. An Element would make as much sense as a CR-V, with easier access and a little more room. 4Runners are good though, I think they are a little expensive though.
Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...
Toyota would be my choice.
My daily right now is a 95 Miata, I'm over 200 pounds and it's not a very comfortable daily for me, too cramped. I'm leaning towards a truck, I saw the top gear episode on killing the toyota and that was awesome, although I've had a few honda's that were very reliable, just not big enough. Overall I will do nothing more to the car or truck than wheels if that, just want something I don't have to worry about fixing all the time, I have enough issues with my Miata. Thanks for the input everyone, reps given.
At the same time, I drive a Miata, so I already get enough shit from my friends, I don't think getting a Camry would help if you catch my drift.
Wait so you are buying the car or they are? Bad point.
maybe
mY CIVIC!
Anyone who would choose a Honda SUV over a Toyota is nuts. Either of the Toyotas would serve you very well. Go with the Accord though if you're looking for MPG and don't really need the truck/SUV.
buy my camry
Truck: Toyota
Car: Honda or Toyota.
Any totyota will last almost forever. My friend had a landcruiser with 260,000 miles on it that barely burnt oil.
4runner!!
I am leaning more towards the space a small SUV has compared to a sedan. I test drove an Element today and really liked how spacious it is, the 4Runner was my first choice but I can't find one with low miles without is being a 4 cyl or base trim. I want to put the entended insurance coverage that is for vehicles with less than 100,000 miles.
Get a Lexus ES300. Best car for the money.
