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.


i see



you should go to your local vw dealer and try and snipe their tdi's

My first car was a 1982 Toyota Corolla Tercel. I got it for free. It was a 4speed manual. I learned how to drive in it. And then i rally'd the shit out of it. Even jumped it a few times. And then sold it the next day for $200 lol.

I haven't seen one of those in a long ass time.

As for my first car... I've been looking into some used awd volvo S60's Anyone have any experience with volvo? Seems like a car that will last and hopefully maintenance wont kill me. Ext/int look good enough for me
Was trying to aim for something around 3k-6k ish with Around 200k-150k mileage with awd. I wouldn't mind rwd but I haven't come across just yet.

my first car was a black 2 doors 1995 nissan sentra, no a/c or anything, my mom gave it to me

was in MINT condition, with 100k miles


LOVED that car...was so light....I remember beating it like a mofo with 1 and 2 speed (was an auto) till tranny smell

that car could take a beating and ask for more and more..

Sold it for 1 500 and kept the cash HAHA

thanks mom. (i was 20, had the car at 16yo)

was like this one but black

My first car was a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Sport, got it for $250 at an auction, put about 100$ in parts and some new tires in it and it worked like a charm. Im from minnesota though so I needed something that could handle the winters well.

Nb, I'll most likely be putting the money down myself. Work is gonna start piling up during winter so should be able to make some good $ to put toward a car.
