THank you very much,

-Adrien

[orange7]

and how much are you planning to sell your lancer? Wouldn't you be breaking even after taxes?

[RC0310_EJ]

imo.. better to keep your car and just get student loan.

[jack_dangerous]

camry, corolla, tercel, civic

[10adrien10]

Subaru Justy

[godwin]

Subarus have reliability issues with trannys / awd once they pass 10 years. I would suggest you get a non AWD car with snow tires if your budget is 5k and you want it to be reliable.

[too_slow]

the most basic 1995 awd impreza you can find?

[orange7]

i got ownd

[TypeRNammer]

EG Civic's

Can't go wrong with them, even though its FWD.

Cheap and AWD don't go together, I mean there's the Eagle Talon Turbo AWD...

mid to late 80's Mazda 323 awd turbo o.O

both are prolly around 3000 or less.

[CorneringArtist]

Camry came in All-Trac AWD, so did the Corolla/Corolla Wagon and Celica, back in the mid-late 80's/early 90's.

However, there IS always the option of getting an SUV with 4WD.

[Rotary_Rage]

none of those is awd

you fail... if i could fail you i would.

tercel made a both a wagon and a sedan that were 4wd , corolla made an AWD, not 100% on the camery and i dont think the civic was every made with optional 4wd

[10adrien10]

that subaru justy and the mazda are kinda what im lookin for... i dont think ive ever seen either before, i dunno if there very common?..

[Rotary_Rage]

justy's are very common but they're fairly gutless, the mazda on the other hand is around you just need to do some digging

[1exotic]

get a eclipse GSX from the states

waht?


look at the subaru loyale, you can get one for like $500, they cant become broken(tryed meny meny meny times). you can take them off jumps and shit. they dont need oil changes, heck they dont even need oil. you can get it in a wagon, 4door sedan, or a 2 door coupe. or even as a turbo4 or flat6 sport coupe know as the xt/xt6. most have a push butten 4wd. some have duel range 4low/high. and some have an awd with locking center diff.

my buddy has a 93 subaru legacy wango with a 5 speed awd tranny. one time he was retarded and forgot to put oil in the gear box. so after 20-30kms all for wheels locked up, and he had to get the car towed home. all it too to fix it was droping the clutch at 7000rpm a couple times to brake it free. put in some fresh oil and it was good to go. 10,000kms on it sofar after the lock up.

talons/laser's/eclipse's are kick ass awd turbo cars. easy to find a nice one under 5000

mazda 323's came in a gtx turbo awd modle, its also kickass.

theres crap loads of awd cars for under 5000 on craigslist.

even ford tempo's came in awd.

[10adrien10]

thnak you very much that was one insightful post:)

[orange7]

you fail... if i could fail you i would.

tercel made a both a wagon and a sedan that were 4wd , corolla made an AWD, not 100% on the camery and i dont think the civic was every made with optional 4wd

too bad cause I corrected myself before you posted

I guess you quoted me before I made the changes, but you didn't post fast enough.

[josh t-1]

YES! get a civic like in the wagon attack video!

[Wykydtron]

I would do unspeakable things for a 323GTX myself. They are just really hard to find in good condition for decent price. Plus maintenance on them isn't the easier, especially when it comes to the brakes. Then there's the rust issue etc etc.

[The_AK]

How about 4 cylinder toyota 4runner? Best of all u can switch in and out of 4wd

for god's sake don't get an Eagle Talon / Eclipse if you are looking for reliability. :facepalm: [/thread]

[StylinRed]

celica gt-four

i just searched the buy&sell though and they're almost double ur 5k limit (the ones that they have)

[atb]

for god's sake don't get an Eagle Talon / Eclipse if you are looking for reliability. :facepalm: [/thread]

why?


shity eagle talons that have been shit kicked all there life wont we reliable, what car would?

talons lasers and eclipses are very reliable if they have been looked after, its just they are a little to fun to drive, so most have been driven a little to hard.

[thumper]

i used to drive a 4wd 88 subaru GL-10 (which was later renamed the loyale). gutless as hell (non-turbo... engine so small they fit the emergency spare tire on top of it), and it was a total rustbucket even though it was a $$$$$$$$$ car... and this was over 15 years ago. i have no idea what the condition would be like of the few survivors that may still be out there.

i've also had the misfortune of driving a 4wd justy. also very gutless, and the nasty CVT transmission did not help at all. avoid.

but i would still go for what others have already recommended... an awd subaru impreza. try to get the newest pre-02 model possible, preferably with the revised dashboard, and hopefully not the ones with rear drum brakes. be careful with the ej25 engines though... the twincam version was notorious for head gasket issues. transmissions are generally okay (mileage/abuse is more of an issue than design flaws)... the glass tranny reputation were more of a wrx problem.

the subaru legacy is a possibility, preferable the bg/bd models, but at $5000 is going to put you into some bad examples :(

Subaru Justy

I had one for awhile. Fun to drive, really easy on gas. I would still rock it if I didn't spin the bearings and killed it.

If you want 200+ HP, get the Celica Alltrac

[atb]

celica alltrac's are nice too, but hard to find, and even harder to find parts for. its like a more expencive eagle talon.

If you keep an eye out the Expo can be had for under 1K... Look hard enough you will find them.

Eclipse Talon is bad bad bad idea because there's no NA 4WD trim only turbo AWD. And who the hell owns a turbo AWD thing for 15+ years without ripping it? Just don't even go near it it'll break on you.

[GabAlmighty]

Older talon/eclipse. That should make you happy.
