what answer are you looking for?

you're asking for opinions, but your shutting the ideas down. like many said just get a basic car- chances are you're gonna wreck it anyway.

also i never saw the appeal of buying a car older than yourself....


What chances? Lol Ive never wrecked my car, and I don't think I'm in the minority.

Cheap. I'm 27 clean record and still would be about $2k American.


tbh I haven't looked into insurance at all, I have to ask around and see what my friends pay yearly.

I've taken in what some people are saying. Realistically I should get a cheap car for now and wait til I'm on my feet etc etc. I still want that r32 tho ahaha. My mother used to have this old e300 & that car looked amazing to me, we had to toss it due to some problems with the engine itself (idk the cause) but that would have been a nice car to store away and try ot find a new engine later on :D

Looking into ford escapes atm. I want to avoid honda simply because I think it looks like shit (better then taking the bus) but I'd rather get something a little better if I have a choice.
Also wouldn't mind a WRX or something but does anyone have a subie? I wanna know if repairs are insane or affordable (can vary I know but, we talking mid-cheap prices OR expensive ass parts)

*don't think i'd wreck my car BUT if there's an open stretch & the path is clear I tend to let loose a little, but nothing dumb like trying to drift for the first time or trying to race people... If I wanna do dangerous shit I'll stick to climbing buildings & parkour ty

My cousin always telling me how great cavs are but I just dont like the way the body looks.
Tundra is a nice truck.

Yeah will most likely have to do this, or at least a 03' +
But wont it cost more to buy a used car if its a higher year? correct me if im wrong. I was shocked to see used BRZs/FRSs still around 9k-18k but im pretty sure it's still considered a new car. idk when they were brought out maybe 13'14

That sucks man, Camry not bad at all. Dont think it'd be too pricey as well.



I'll lyk if I find something I want.

Mazda 3 a nice little car to, want to have that little "sport" look.
