What used car should i get?

Question

I want something that has alot of after market performance and styling parts for, and is sporty too. I dont usualy like domestic cars, but if theres a good one let me know. Im mainly thinking of a civic coupe ( im not sure what year) an older celica, or the acura 1.6 el( which is the canadian version of a civic)

what is the best used car to get under a budget of 5 grand

Answer 1

Correct me if I'm wrong, Domestic refers to American Cars. A Celica, Civic, and EL all are referred to something as an "import." Take a look at these:

1) Acura Integra

2) Lexus SC300

3) Infiniti G20

4) Mazda RX6

5) Nissan 300ZX

Answer 2

Look for a Nissan 240SX or Nissan 300ZX. Both are reliable cars with potential to be the best with a substantial amount of tuning. The 240SX would be alot easier to find under $5,000 in good condition.

examples (within price range):

There are other good cars like the Toyota MR2 and Supra. The MR2 is a rear wheel drive car with the engine behind the seats (just like a Lamborghini). Newer Supras are rare and expensive but the ones from the late 80s go cheap

I guess you should also check insurance quotes for the car before buying one, for example here: http://autoinsurance.noneto.com

the best cars that run for years are toyotas ! they have great parts, we bought one off a tow yard for 500$ it was a corolla, 1990 and 175,000 miles it lasted 5 years, and back and forth from hayward to modesto everyday ,  but someone stole it :( ..  everyone i know has bought a honda they dont last and people charge to much for them, and everyone i know who got a cheap toyota they still have them and they run great!!!!
