Were getting an extra new used car. We only want to spend around $5k, no more. What car should we get?
I was thinking maybe a Saturn since they get good gas mileage.
Or a Nissan since it is the most maintenance-free vehicle today.
It is definately gonna be our DD so DD is the only thing that matters!
thnx

honestly, (i really hope this doesnt get me banned), engineers run toyota. not designers. toyota really has some of the most reliable cars, tho i HATE the interior styling. the chevy prizm and toyota corrola are the same thing. pontiac vibe also shares a platform w/ toyota (but you'll wind up calling it the vibrator), and honda civics are really reliable cars. obviously our 3800 is a beast, the straight 6's in the old cherokees and the newer wranglers (i think) is awesome. a 4.3L GM v-6 is based on a 3800 and they live forever too.

A used Honda civic or Toyota Corolla should fit the bill...
Honda Civic Coupe HX will get you 40mpg and the DX sedan and Hatchbacks will get around 36/37mpg. Toyota Corolla will get around 37mpg. Toyotas can handle a lot of maintenance neglect and still perform well. Honda's aren't quite as resilient to lack of maintenance as the Toyotas, but they are a little more performance orientated (engine/transmission/and suspension).
The Chevrolet Prism is a rebadged Toyota Corolla and the Pontiac Vibe is a rebadged Toyota Matrix...
How much is a Honda Civic HX for a 2002? or a DX or Hatchback? what about a 2002 Toyota Corolla? Around 30k-70k miles.
The woman wouldnt listen to me. She said we were just looking today. She ends up buying a 2001 Ford Escape on the spot. I told her we'll come back monday and do some Consumer Reports research on all our choices. I told her we should get the blue book values. I said we should try to haggle on something. I hate people that just buy without researching!

olds alero... not a total crap looking car and I saw a few like 99-01s for sale for like $4k. with like 50k miles on them.
basically a grand am, just better looking.
not super reliable, but what car under $5k really is "that reliable" And if you pick up a car with a "reliable" reputation, for that much it will likely have 100k or more.

Oh, 2002 models won't be under $5,000 - more like around $8,000 to $10,000 I was thinking more along the lines of a '97-'99 models for $4000 to $5000.
Ah the Ford Escape; a FWD 2.0L 4 cylinder little SUV that gets around 18mpg around town and 24mpg on the highway. I feel for you man... LOL
