I desperately need a new daily driver
 

I would like to get a hatchback because I take allot of musical equipment around and i just like having a small car. my limits about 4 grand. I tryed to look for EG's but thats not happening all of the ones ive seen are either like 3 grand and have a good 170k miles on them, there far away, or they have a ton of miles on them. Ive been looking at Volkswagens and it looks like i can score a 97-98ish golf for that much and they have lower miles and its a newer car so its less to worry about. does anyone have anyother sugestions? no EF's im not paying 2500+ for an ef, some people try to sell standard hatches for 4 grand here. any imput would be appreciated, thanks.

You live in Ohio, buy my EG.

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

I haull 6000 dollars worth of equipment to shows at bars neer the ghetto. I need somthing i can lock up so all of the crack heads sniffing around for dollars dont think they hit the daily crack lottery. a truck would be nice to haull motors and stuff around in but i can use my dads for that.

I'm getting a rusty old s10 with 4wd for my new daily, tradin my hyundai plus $400 for it. Its a friends truck and its got a newer motor, new tranny, and new brakes. I wish you were'nt in a ohio or else I'd let you buy the ef I think I may get as a project the dude wants $500 for it, rust free texas car just stopped running, needs exhaust work and brakes need bled.

buy my car, fix it, and you'll be well under your $4k limit and you'll still be rockin a honda :6

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

i cant fit my speaker cabinents in a 4 door ;). plus i already have a car i can fix and drive, i just droped a motor in it and it turns out the wheel bearings are bad after sitting for so long and some other things. and thats pretty much just going to be my project car.



Just a little example of why i cant afford a civic hatch around here

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

take out the back seats :P

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

a VW is the absolute last thing I would look at then. so would any civic for that matter. especially if you are worried about people stealin ----. a civic is just what theives want...especially if they are worth something in your area, shows they are in demand....

a truck with a cap....still my $.02

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

Just a little example of why i cant afford anything around here either

And I haven't seen an 88-91 civic hatch for sale ever :-\

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

they'll fit in a hatch, i used to load my civic down with 2 15 inch monitors, a mixer, 2 guitar heads, 3 guitars and some other things. and I personaly dont like how trucks look or drive. I think the only truck id buy would be a little 4 wheel drive tacoma and i cant afford one of thoes either.

s-15 jimmy or explorer?

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

Jeep Cherokee?

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

86 300zx has enough room to put like a whole band concerts equipment in it. but there hard to come by.i saw one today so yea... or a s10 with a camper shell on it or something..

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

accord/camry Wagon comes to mind.

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

hahaha...---- yeah! 4wd civic wagon!

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

i've been driving around the old mans truck. it has a canopy thats ugly as ----, but it keeps things dry-which totaly makes up for the uglyness

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

buy a busted uop mini van, or a old work van off someone, something without windows.

even with your cvcar locked, the crack headswill see what u have in there and break in.

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

I bought my 95 Cherokee Sport for $3400 out the door in really nice shape.

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

Go take a drive down Rt. 4 through Fairfield, I have to drive through it everday on the way to work and I see a lot of decent priced cars go through if you look hard enough.

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

ill check that out on my way to cinci today. I looked up explorers and cherokees and there all way more than i can spend or they have 170k miles on them. I think im going to go check that golf out today, they're pretty easy to work on and look decent.

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

not tryin to be a dick man but id think this kinda question is one you should be able to think out on your own. you dont need a civ or volks cause crackies would bust it open and take gooey chocolate filling. buy a ------ van.

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

Nabed a 97 golf for 3500 with 80k miles on it today. so i guess thats my new daily driver :P

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

pics? sounds like a solid deal 8)

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

I have to wait until monday to pick it up, the dealerships has to service it and do an inspection on the car before they can let it go.

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

Doesn't sound too bad, where did you get it from?

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

northgate volkswagen. its missing like 2 peices of side molding but im sure can score some.

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

I don't know much about them, is it a fwd standard shift?

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

yeah, its a 5 speed front wheel drive 2.0 liter sohc. they're pretty easy to work on. Its on par with a honda with the ease of working on it. it rides about like a honda too

Re: I desperately need a new daily driver
 

cool, as long as it handles well who gives a damn what it is! :P
