You'll want something with a mile range under $100,000 if you can get it. Also, try to find a car later than 1998. Basically any Japanese cars are great - Hondas, Nissans, Toyotas, etc. Domestic cars are cheaper but less reliable. I do NOT recommend a Kia or a Hyundai.

There is nothing wrong with buying an older BMW or Civic in your price range, however the question that needs answers is how much will it cost to make it roadworthy to justify your investment to make it last for a few years
sure you can buy a BMW for under $ 5000. and invest another 5G's and be trouble free for a time period.
If you really want a better car it really comes down to what your real needs are and getting valid value for your bucks, go to my website http://www.usedcartips.org/ and study the 10 steps, I am retired from the industry but enjoy as a hobby helping consumers.
good luck and happy hoildays

A clean used Civic would be smart and fun choice. The Bimmer is cool until you're stuck at the dealer service department buying genuine BMW parts at crazy prices. Plus, the E36 (1992-1999) models might start to look a little dated soon, as the newer 3-series designs become more prominent on the roads.

If you have a set dollar amount you want to spend I would recommend checking the want ads or craigs list and making your choice based on what they offer. There are some wonderful cars out there, but they might not ever get down to your price range. Good luck!

Volvo S70 T5, you're able to looking a ninety 9 style for style of 5K. it somewhat is practically a Q-deliver. sounds like your time-honored Volvo relatives sedan, till the rapid kicks in. ;) and that's going to be greater no longer expensive to insure than one in each of those boy racers.

you cant buy **** with 5k or less, pretty much your going to get a crappy car thats going to fall apart in 2 years, better off putting the 5k down on a loan and getting a payment you want in your price range, happy hunting

My husband is a general sales manager for used cars in Texas. First, use your resources...then, watch the news. Toyota is just on the heels of General Motors in the U.S. for business and selling cars. It's not because they're sitting on their rear ends!!! Buy a Toyota, very dependable, very reliable, and very good when you decide to sell it.

check into a kia. i have 2 of them and have not had any problems. purchased my spectra in january of 2006 and is a 2004 only spent 6000. very good and reliable. don't get all of the toys and stuff, but can get a newer vehicle which will probably give you less problems down the road.

there are a lot of cool cars out there that have a few miles and years on them for under $5k, look for something with 2 doors and a turbo :)
