Best car for $4k - $5k and WHY?
Hey.
By Oct. I am hoping to have about $4,000 - $5,000 for a car with a possible $500 +/-. What car would best suit me and why? Heres whats important to me: Reliable - Must be a good car that's cheap to fix, and won't break down. Good performance - Not looking for a V-8 320-hp car, but something like an Integra or an Accord is OK with me becuase I will be doing minor engine mods on these. Easy find parts - parts are cheap and easy to find, especially aftermarket. Luxury is important to me, so I listed the ES300 which i really want, and saw a few for around my price range. |

That's the car that I was looking at for a long time, only it's hard to find a decent GSR with low miles for a good price.

Re: Best car for $4k - $5k and WHY?
Go with the legend. Performance is really good with the 230hp 3.2L and Power Everything. They called it the legend for a reason. The aftermarket is pretty good.

I would personally go with Lexus, there's less of these cars on the roads.

But he said thats exactly what he didnt want. He said he wanted a popular car so he could get parts easier.

Im going to have to choose the Integra GS-R because maybe im a little biased, but I think that's the best one on the list if you only have $4-$5K. If you have a better budget than it might be different. If you had bout $7-$8k then I say go with the 240SX (still being biased) because you can go KA-T or SR20DET with that kind of money. BTW if you find a GS-R with low miles and at that price than GET IT! It's hard to find one these days with low miles and a good price.

Re: Best car for $4k - $5k and WHY?
You won't find any integras or 240sx (in good condition) at 4 grand. I myself am looking at a car in the 4 grand range, so im thinking of a maxima or altima right now. accords in that range are going to be high mileage also.
