tell me a car i didn't think of yet - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Andrew Bohan · 01-10-2006, 12:36 PM

ok so yea, i need a daily driver.

HAS to be: reliable and $7000 or less

i'd LIKE it to be: black, sedan, 6 cyl, newer semi-luxury or older luxury

so i'm looking at camrys and accords, and some lexuses like GS300 and ES300

what else is out there that i should be considering?

!Zar! · 01-10-2006, 12:56 PM

A 95 bmw 3 series.
94 7 series?

Andrew Bohan · 01-10-2006, 01:11 PM

those are nice, but i want reliability too

Unholy S14 · 01-10-2006, 01:17 PM

hhhmm how about a maxima

skatanic28 · 01-10-2006, 01:24 PM

i find 3rd and 4th gen maximas to be a much more exciting drive than most of their competition. should be easy for 7k.

***FaLKoN240*** · 01-10-2006, 01:28 PM

Hmm. . .maybe one of the older infinitis? I think you should ask Art.

ranisron · 01-10-2006, 01:33 PM

J30 may be a good candidate.

I dont' like the accord as much as to the Maxima... The older Acura TL/CL (whatever) aren't that reliable either...

Camry is reliable as hell, but it's ugly IMHO.

*exitspeed* · 01-10-2006, 01:43 PM

Subby Legacy. That's my vote. Perfect DD.

Or a Camry like I have. Reliable as hell!

Romeyo07 · 01-10-2006, 02:32 PM

mazda millenia

-usmd-180sx · 01-10-2006, 03:01 PM

+1 for GS300.. that'd be a pimp DD IMO andrew..

Andrew Bohan · 01-10-2006, 03:03 PM

there's one right by me too..
http://www.craigslist.org/pen/car/123419631.html

i'd prefer black though.

the newer ones are a lot more expensive.

**mrmephistopheles** · 01-10-2006, 03:29 PM

Ls400?

TurDz · 01-10-2006, 03:31 PM

4th Gen to 5th Gen Maxima. I personally had a 4th gen for many years and liked it very much. VQ engine.

FRpilot · 01-10-2006, 03:41 PM

Oh, with the stock motor cressies have been known to hit 300k miles if you take care of them.

***S14DB*** · 01-10-2006, 04:43 PM

3.5L Altima?

sw20>>s14 · 01-10-2006, 05:34 PM

go V8! gas has dropped a lot; then rose a little...so technically, dropped a bit...hehe...

G50 Q45!!! Y33 Q45s are cool too...or an LS400!!! UCF20/21 only IMO...but if your set on a six banger then id go with the GS...

DJPimpFlex · 01-10-2006, 05:42 PM

sc300 . . . .

Gas prices are going back up.

ramblux · 01-10-2006, 06:52 PM

J30 all the way

If V-8s are acceptable, Q45

wootwoot · 01-10-2006, 07:09 PM

FWD is such a hassle with maintainence and just doesnt have that truly sporty feel
J30 only comes in automatic and I personally cant handle that
BMW is the only one I can honestly think I would want..The maintainence is a bit of a bitch compared to Japanese cars but how solid they feel and beautifully they drive its almost worth the problem. Q45 would be nice as well but you diddnt make it sound like you wanted something that big. Just be a badass and get the j30 and convert it to manual, a bit more work but that'd be cool and fun.

jessfx · 01-10-2006, 07:54 PM

buy my caaaaaar... well one like it. 92 190E 2.6L it's SMALL but it's lux because it's a benz >:P, it's been my daily driver since i started driving... gotta say my first car and in a way my first love. echo thinks my car's nice for a cruiser. soooo yeah. go! go!

ciGARRETTsRbad4u · 01-10-2006, 10:18 PM

Older Caddy STS V8
Its big, heavy, FWD, and bad on gas. But it is a pretty fun car.
It can do small slides, and slightly bigger ones in the rain.
It is also faster(straight line) than a 240sx.

infinitexsound · 01-10-2006, 10:25 PM

i vote for a maxima or.. the new altima just cause i like em... but for the money savings sake........camry or avalon

240meowth · 01-10-2006, 10:56 PM

old q45

ohnobigtdawg · 01-10-2006, 11:34 PM

i think you should just wait a year.. and save a little more money and buy a used scion xb... they do crazy gas mileage and they are pretty roomy.. if you like the style and dont worry too much about going fast then this is a great car.. one other downside is theres basically no trunk space.. just my 2 cents
