Best used car under $7000
I know you're probably sick of these threads but I seriously need some help and I thought I'd bring this up here where I might get some decent answers.
I'm looking for a car for under $7,000 used Requirements Newer than 1995 Compact or Mid-Sized (Under 190 inches long and 105 inches wide) At least 170hp Black Leather interior Reliable and Cheap upkeep Good gas milage Nice handling for a car in this class Things I would like Foglights Motorized Sunroof Large Trunk Cruise Control ABS Something a bit sporty with nice lines Cars I'm reviewing so far are the Nissan Maxima, the Buick Regal, and the Mazda Millenia. But I find it's so hard to find exactly where I want especially up in the NW. Perhaps you might have some buying and searching tips as well? Any help would be great, thanks

Re: Best used car under $7000
looks like you kind of want a four-door so i would say look at a nissan sentra. they are a nice sporty sedan.

Re: Best used car under $7000
Jetta/Pasat GLX with the vr6 engine. Those vw engineers knew what they were doing with this engine. The vw models ending in 98 all had the boxier type style to them but they are good cars and i think what ur looking for. The engine is rated with 178 hp with plenty of torque.

Re: Best used car under $7000
lol, the older 3 series? Hmm... since 1983 the 325i has left the factory with at least 171 bhp. So yeah, you're wrong.
 PS in '92 a new engine was used which provided 192 bhp. That was the first year of the e36.

You do not want a vw or an audi unless you are prepared to spend some money fixing the oil leaks and other problems it will definately have. A better choice for reliability would be a nissan maxima but in that price range you would be looking at either 96 or possible 97 model. Or a toyota camry 4 cyl. with leather which you could find as new as 98 in that price range.
