Post by: Aerian on May 10, 2011, 05:21:15 PM: As a down payment?

If you mean period then i would look for something that would last me a while, since odds are money would be tight. Something like a Honda Civic or Honda Accord. Always good long lasting cars that are very reliable.

Post by: newmom on May 10, 2011, 05:22:30 PM: the way I read your question is only 10k to buy a car.

Certified used Honda. 98 civic is still kicking strong and love my 2010 accord. I doubt I'll own anything other than a Honda

I agree, the Civic is a fantastic transportation appliance. The Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic are solid buys and you can turn them over for nearly what you pay for them if you keep them in good shape.

Post by: dov on May 10, 2011, 05:33:08 PM: Hell, you can buy me 1994 Jeep Wrangler for $1k....however, you'll have to say a quick prayer before each turn of the key. No A/C, turn signals, radio, windshield wipers, back or rear windows, horn, heat, seatbelts, or parking brake... :-\

It's also sat without windows through 2 hurricanes and stinks like hell. A squirrel jumped out of it the other day and a few birds have actually flown into it while driving! The drivers seat is rusted out and is propped up with a busted tackle box and other trash, bottles, etc...it hasn't been properly washed since 1998.

So, whaddya think?

Post by: Parker on May 10, 2011, 05:34:06 PM: There are tons, literally tons of mid 90s civics running strong. I know a guy who has 96 Civic, and will not give it up...

For 10k, since you are in the Ireland, your options are prolly limited to Ford Fiesta, Focus, and that midsize one, I forgot the name---but it has a really good chassis. VW golf, polo, new beetle, Lexus IS200/IS300, Toyota corolla, Yaris, Honda Civic, Fit, Accord, Fiat 500, Mercedes A, B class.

Post by: pluck on May 11, 2011, 09:37:51 AM: But really if I was in your situation here's what I would do depending on the scenario.

If you plan to buy and keep a car for atleast 7-10 years then buy a used Honda for around $7K and keep the $3 for repairs over the next few years as well as basic maintenance like brakes, oil, new tires, engine/tranny work...etc.

If you plan on driving the car for less than 5 years then go finance or lease a car where your payment is around $300 a month max and then take the rest of the money and make some sort of investment

Gangstalean laying the fucking beatdown yet again!
It is what it is, man...many of those dudes who own those cars don't come off as braggarts. I've engaged some people who'd you never think have those cars in convo, and next thing you'd know he'd either show me a pic of his Ford GT, Lambo, or he'd bring said car around the next day to where I work. It's usually the old heads who are that way...
