Super practical cars, there are quite a few too, I would probably spend a bit more and get one of the zx3/zx5 models because I love the look

A 2000 hyundai accent may fit in your budget, if you don't mind it's fit and finish that is...

DO NOT BUY A NEON for 2 g's. It'll be costing you much more then that in short order.

OP, you know insurance going cost you an arm and leg right?
You can't just get away by spending $2000 bucks and be able to drive on the road already....

Insurance + gas + maintenance is going to get you if you're really strapped for cash.
I had a lot of money before I got my first car. When I inherited a well mantained vehicle as a gift for free much of that extra money went away
But I have heard you folks in Montreal have very affordable insurance compared to us BC folk.
Best of luck Posted via RS Mobile | |

You're better off dropping the year 2000 requirement and getting something like this http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...452732309.html

2000+ Saturn SL1/SL2/SC1 fits your bill. Fairly reliable, but you get what you pay for with loud engine noise.
