Need to buy a car. What should I get?
Things I'd Like:
Price: under $7000 (prefer more in the 6k range) Power: mid 200hp or better Body Style: Coupe or 5-Door MPGs: 20-25mpg mixed. I don't drive a lot so it's not a big issue. Year: 2003 or newer preferably Miles: 60-80k miles Interior: Not complete ---- Drive train: I'm leaning towards trying a RWD vehicle. Maintenance: Low. This means no VW/Audi bullshit. I'm thinking something like a Volvo or a Saab might be a nice daily. Accord Coupe V6 seems like a reasonable choice. I've always kind of wanted a Z28 Camaro. LS1's are pretty cheap now. I'm relatively indifferent towards what I buy as long as it doesn't constantly act up/cost me money. I just know I'm not going to be able to ride my bike daily much longer with the temperature dropping. Not to mention it seems like its going to be a wet winter around here which will make my life miserable. |

He can pick up 98~ gs'es or older SC's with low miles all day for his price range. Since they're higher end cars they typically have correct maintenance done, are garage kept, detailed, etc.

I'm willing to compromise on things. I'll change the word "requirements" to "Things I'd like". In the end I want a nice daily that isn't a 4 banger econocar. Econocar's value is incredibly inflated due to the rise in fuel costs and since my ride to work is all of 10 miles round trip and overall I don't drive very much, I can deal with 25mpg vs 32mpg as long as all other costs are similar.

DD get a FWD. Toyota, or Honda. Look at whats available for your budget.

Re: Need to buy a car. What should I get?
RWD is definitely not an issue. I will buy a FWD vehicle, but I would prefer RWD. I don't want AWD as it is stupid.
