Whats a good first car to get. I want the car to be stick shift and I don't want to spend more them 3000 dollars. I would like to spend 1,500-2000. I only want the car for like about 1 year or less. So it must be manual and be no more them 3000.
Thanks

Hondas made in the 80's go for that low.

m0rex · 11-23-2005, 12:42 PM

I really want an eg hatch as a beater/daily driver. You can make it all right fast and kicks ass for winter, gas milage, and it dosent look that bad.

trsilvias13 · 11-23-2005, 01:16 PM

take public transportation for that price, save tons on gas n insurance. or get a bike

Var · 11-23-2005, 06:41 PM

Get a 240. DUhhh.. WHy would you ask such a question on a 240 board. Your description fits a lot of cars. You can get a CRX with a B16a swap for 3k or less. If you dont mind driving a complete pile of shit you can always get a saturn. (i'd go with the crx)

nistech · 11-23-2005, 08:04 PM

nistech · 11-23-2005, 08:20 PM

cheap parts
easy to work on.
little stuff go bad on them but they always run. (what i mean by little stuff is like door handles or some interior parts)
they arent gas hogs.
they go for ever specially mk1 mk2 and mk3 i dont know about mk4 and mk5
i had a mk2 gti 16v and a mk3 gti vr6 i love those 2 engines

SimpleSexy180 · 11-23-2005, 09:00 PM

^ this guy is right my homies corrado is pretty kool

partymonster 975 · 11-23-2005, 09:23 PM

I would want to get the 240sx after this car. I want a s14 but I only want a cheap first car so I can basically learn to drive and it can be something I wont be afraid to dent or scratch. I was thinking a crx or a older vw.

DJPimpFlex · 11-24-2005, 05:25 PM

i fuckin hate working on VW's. They use weird sizes us nissan guys only have nightmares about. I purchased a decent allen set a while back and I found out while doing a brake job on a mk1 GTI that I am in need of a 7mm if I ever want to do that again. FUCK VW's, IMO, but to each there own.

EVERYTHING goes wrong on them.

Irukandji · 11-24-2005, 06:54 PM

anything that doesnt contain the word "nissan"

how about a nice honda?

240's are not for the feint of heart, mainly because they suck so much

ciGARRETTsRbad4u · 11-25-2005, 12:32 AM

Get a AE92 Corolla. Or a nice Civic.

It really depends on what you are using it for and how much you have to maintain it.

why do you only want it for a year?

Tenchuu · 11-25-2005, 12:59 PM

I loved my old 280ZX, but they are old and a 2 seater, witch i would never own a 2 seater again. i just end up needing to haul too many people.

but a 280ZX=1200 or so

*exitspeed* · 11-25-2005, 01:05 PM
