Cheap Car?
Ok, well the time has come for me to start car shopping. I need something to get to/from school/work this fall.
I'm gonna be spending around $3000.
Now, I know someone is gonna say Civic or Integra. Not that I don't like them but I've been there before and I don't wanna mod the car and I know with a Honda/Acura I would.

What are some suggestions? (no POS cars either)

Bruno: What do you want for your Saturn?

Some of the choices are bad idea, insurance would murder me.
I'm gonna look around.

Buy a crx... you can drive it for as long as you want and not devalue the car , so when you sell it you might get all your money back on it, and it's pretty easy to sell since they are pretty rare nowadays.

Plus

They are stone reliable too !

All you have to worry about is finding a decent one, and once you find it, make sure it has minimal surface rust !
Its almost impossible to find a rust free crx here in Southern Ontario, unless it has been bondo-ed up and hiding the rust !


good luck

hey, I wanna sell it soon, so I was only gonna ask $3500 as is. $4500 safetied and e-tested. I'd rather sell as-is, hence the enormus price diff.
