im fairly new at cars and im looking for some advice from you guys.
i got 2000$ what can i get? what should i look for and how far can i go with it?
looking for a first car.

[Qmx323]

can you be more specific about what kinda car ur looking for?
2 door? sedan?

2000 dollars can get u a pretty solid car

[CRS]

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?

[skyxx]

Buying a car isn't like buying a hooker. ;)

[sexyaccord]

honda civic

[CP.AR]

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

[impactX]

Did you save another pile of money for insurance?

[bcrdukes]

For that budget, CRS' Volvo (http://www.revscene.net/forums/fs-1990-volvo-t604142.html?p=6790172).

[Leopold Stotch]

why do we bother with these threads guys?

[thumper]

Did you save another pile of money for insurance?

and another pile for repairs? i'm not expecting reliability in a $2k car :(

Civic would be a good choice

[btran]

im looking most likely for a japanese car, four door..
i was thinking along the lines of a civic... reliable, not into mods yet maybe when i get some more money but not for a while.
what kms should i be looking at ?

$2000 car ur looking at anywhere from 150K to 300K, depending on year

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.

go to the craigslist auto sales section, set a min/max price and pick a brand and see what comes up.

for example:

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/ctd/1612898760.html
http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/cto/1613682236.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.

[van_driver]

wow revscene has a lot of trolls

when someone posts about buying a cheap first car you get retarded replies like "take the bus"

then when someone gets an expensive first car everyones like "probably powered by mommy and daddy"

fuck

and we pick on poor grammer, misuse or lack of punctuation and typo too...

It isn't so much picking on grammar or the general misuse of the english language as much as it is a general disrespect for other members.

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".

[hk20000]

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....

[sonick]

For that budget, CRS' Volvo (http://www.revscene.net/forums/fs-1990-volvo-t604142.html?p=6790172).

+1.

[Rich Sandor]

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.

[Momo251212]

Honda civic/crx. fun car to drive and good on gas. and pretty cheap. and relatively easy to repair.

[unit]

i agree with the ppl who said CRS' volvo.
thats a lot of car for 2k

[btran]

hmmm
im taking considerations for the volvo but id be driving from surrey to van n that bridge is very tight... volvo looks really big... almost tank like...

[!Aznboi128]

you must be joking....

it's not big, a hummer's big and it'll fit fine.

[mos_skeeto]

it's like 3 inches wider than a civic (a small car).

[bcrdukes]

If I were driving over that bridge, the first thing I would probably drive on a $2000 budget would be that Volvo. And besides, as RFlush put it, "Four doors for more whores!" :D

[hotong]

volvo 240dl

[btran]

hmm.. what is a decent KM on cars this price range?

[?NR]

20,000 km per year x years in service

[GabAlmighty]

Get an old volvo. There's a bunch on c-list right now. They're rwd, you can get a manual, they're tanks, they're reliable. Don't know much more you could want.

[thumper]

again, go to craigslist and put down your max price range and average out the mileage in the ads that come up
