im a 16 year old kid with not a lot of cash. what car should i get for cheap but its still a good car?

Question

i want a civic but what year should it be. N E other cars i can get for under 5k that are good and reliable

Answer 1

Dodge Neon
Ford Focus
Chrysler Cirrus
Chevy Cavalier

Basically find a nice domestic (you'll get more car for your money) and get it checked by a mechanic BEFORE you buy it.

Answer 2

Honda's are good, my first car was one and never had any issues. If I were you I'd go on craigslist for your area and search between 4 and 5 grand. A lot of civics will pop up and you can search for the best deal. Lower miles are often times a better thing to look for than the model year when it comes to used cars.

Answer 3

I'm partial to the Mazda MX3. I had a 93 model than ran perfect. But try to thing about safety most of all. Maybe if you stress that to your parents they might chip in a little more to get you a nicer safer ride.

Answer 4

If you can WAIT alittle while, see if your parents will sell you THEIRS when they go to buy a new one. THAT way you'll know what you're getting, it probably will be half-way decent, AND- they'll cut you a "break" on the price- because you're a "Good Kid..." Right??? :) Good luck.

Answer 5

My first car was a 96 ford ranger...ran it too 200,000 miles. Paid 4500 for it. Honda's are kick *** cars. BUT....they hold their value...unless drove to the ground(lot of miles on it). If you can...haha get a 240sx...

Answer 6

I WOULD GO WITH A FORD FOCUS, RELIABLE WHEN DRIVEN RIGHT AND TAKEN CARE OF AS IN CHANGING OILS AND FILTERS WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.

Answer 7

yeah, get a civic, because they have lots of accecorie u can get 4 them! like, body kit, spoiler, ....ect.
