I think you should get the Acura because contrary to what people believe acura are very reliable, and you can find parts for an integra almost everywhere and for cheap price since the Integra is one of the most demand vehicle makes, however, you might want to lock up your car if you're getting an integra, because it is also the most popular vehicle for thieves. I still recommend the acura, becuase of the cheap availability of parts, and the reliable engine, and great gas economy compared to the mustang. Can't go wrong with the integra.

forget the toyota, I would get the mustang if it has reasonable mileage and if it fits your budget. I have also had an 01 mustang since 2001 and have had no problems with it. The only maintainence I've every had to get done is oil changes. Its got a lot of power compared to the other two cars you have mentioned. However I have only driven my mustand in the summer. For the winter I drive a 96 Integra has 140 000 km on it rite now and it;s also very reliable. I bought it at 60 000 km and have no problems with it yet. Both the integra and the mustang are very fun cars to drive. I think either one should be fine. The final decision is yours :)

Based on name and what you have written, I'd say go for the Integra. Paseo is smaller, and a discontinued model. Mustangs have great power, but are unreliable.
If reliabilty is the main issue, check the records of each vehicle. Was the oil changed regularly? When were the brakes, exhaust and tires changed last? Has the timing belt been replaced?
If you have to do one of these repairs figure it in as part of the purchase cost.
Consider these options as they will make a difference and tell you how well each car was cared for.
Pick the car that has the fewest miles, was cared for best and seems the best value.

The person who said that Toyota is more reliable than an Acura doesn't know what they are talking about.
I had an Integra, and it was 12 years old. The car had 265,000 miles on it, with out any major problems. In fact, it had the original clutch on it.
As far as your choices go, go with the Integra, or the Mustang. Probably the Integra for price, and insurance reasons.

6k for a 94 car? too much money.
3k for a 94 car? Too much money
I can not say anything about the Mustang.
13 year is a lot in a car, you can expect wear and tear in any car, so don't make an expensive mistake.
Look in www.autotrader.com and have the car professionally inspected before buying.
Keep searching in the internet, I bought a Mazda and a Ford through www.autotrader.com and I got the cars cheaper than the market and with warranty.

I had a '95 Integra and it was a great car. Didn't particularly like the seats though, caused spasms on long drives due to the hardness. Traded it in for a '98 Accord which were far softer.
Also if you get the Integra, be careful because the turn signal covers were stolen off mine because they're expensive ($200) and easily taken off with just a screwdriver.

toyota is gonna be the most reliable in the long run. the acura will be expensive to fix and not a very good availability with parts.
as far as the ford goes, sounds nice but for the money you cant go wrong with the toyota even if it only lasts you a year. the mustang is probably 9K and will start having problems soon, so you will have a payment on it and a repair bill to pay.

Paseo? are you kidding? that is such a chick car. It's a tercel with different body. have some pride, young man!
If it was not white I would recomment the acura as long as the owner was good to it. If it's a young guy boy racer, he probably shot the engine to hell already so be careful.
Mustangs are pretty junky after a few years. don't waste your money.
if you are trying to spend only $6k or less, you should get an early 90s BMW 5 series or 3 series. just avoid the V8 engines of that era. here's an example:

Then do not buy a car with high miles. Look for one with low miles that is still in good overall condition. You may sink a lot into a car with +70k miles in the near future. You typically get what your pay for. If foreigncars are so reliable, why don't I see more older ones around?

lots of miles is not the best thing, it means the engine is already pretty worn out and if it hasnt been taken care of by a previous owner you could be stuck with a pretty unreliable car in a couple years.
no matter what you buy, make sure you take someone good with cars/mechanic with you to make sure that theres nothing wrong with the engine, transmission, etc.
