Hello hello,
Crazy newer than new lurker on RS here but i would like to ask you folks for some tips and/or opinions on purchasing a used car for the first time.
So basically im on the hunt for my first car ever fully paid for by myself with a budget around 7k max. im also looking for a manual one, however, it'll be my first standard car and ill basically be self teaching myself on how to drive it well and proper.
Since it'll be my first manual, i already know the theory on how to drive one, just haven't had much actual practice, how would i go to test the car from the seller when it comes time to buying one?
There's still a while to go (a couple of months essentially) before i save up enough money to fully support it. i.e. insurance, gas, minor modifications. But what would be the best car to have for that price range? i've looked into honda civics, mazda mx5s and all the generic jazz.
Im leaning towards more of a drivers car than needing to be super practical, but it cant really be anything crazy and over the top like summer cars or anything like that, as it will be my daily driver.
TL;DR version. looking for a used manual car for 7k or less, would like some tips/opinions on what would be a good car to look at.
Much thanks to all those that help and please be gentle on my RS virginity
