Really depends on what you're looking for.
Are you looking for a reliable car?
Or are you looking for a car can you can mod?
Import? Japanese/Euro? Domestic?

if you are looking for something cheap on gas, reliable, and generally economical. Look no further than a Toyota Corolla (the old gens of course). a civic wouldn't be a bad choice either, and with a civic you can probably throw some money at it when you have it

btw: save the money ur gonna spend on mods and get a better car, because the potential repairs for some of these older cars can absolutely rape your wallet.

for example: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...612898760.html http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...613682236.html
don't waste your money on mods... not on anything this old/cheap. you may as well just flush your wallet down the toilet now because you're going to need a rainy day fund when something (will) go bad. and remember when it's this old aircare is a constant concern. use whatever you buy as a commuter/beater and concentrate on saving up more $$$ or build up some credit for maybe leasing/financing something more worthwhile in the future.

Some people feel the need to be asses on the internet and so RS is no exception. You will find these trolls on all boards because they lack the maturity to restrain themselves.
It isn't even "welcome to RS", it is more like "welcome to life".

best bet is to go to your local public auction which is Adesa public auto auction in Richmond and pick something reasonable and hope it comes out under 2k....

buy a $1000 cavalier/sunfire and use the other $1000 for insurance and misc repairs etc.
my '97 cavy is still running strong after an unbelievable torrent of abuse over the years. they are not particularly sporty and they are pretty common, but they are not stolen as often as civics, parts are a bit cheaper, and they are built a bit beefier, and fuel economy is very similar to a similar 4 door civic or corolla.
