First Car

Hey guys, im looking to buy my first car and really dont know what I want. I just need something reliable and was wondering what would be good. How are 1997 Mitsubishi Galants and is one with 107,000 for 2000 a bad buy? I just need something used for 2500 but if you guys could list good brands and models and how many miles I could probably put on it before it craps out id appreciate it.

Re: First Car

Here is a list ranking the Japanese automakes. Dinan gives a good general explanation on each. Funny how everyone has Mitsubishi at the bottom of their lists.

Whatever Toyota or Honda you can afford is your best bet. You'll probably be able to get a Civic, possibly an Accord for that price.
