i am moving to sacramento for school in the fall, and my parents are a little hesitant on letting me take the wrx up there. what cars would you guys reccommend for around 3k? all i have in mind right now is a honda because they are cheap and reliable, and i have yet to find a clean 240sx that hasnt been f'ed up by the previous owner.

E30 325is

I had one with 256K miles on it and still ran great when I sold it

There's a guy in the classifieds right now selling what looks like a clean S13 for 3k.......

e30...drool. how much was insurance?

I have to suggest it...Miata? (....waits for comments about sexual orientation)

Miatas are awesome. they last forever, get great mileage, and handle well.

lol insurance was more expensive on my 89 325 then it is on my 02 dodge truck

It was something like 850/6 months...keep in mind I have 2 tickets on my record though

Nice...I agree...I may get one for the track someday. Anyway, back to the suggestions

How about a NICE clean Toyota Paseo

ROFL..NEVARRR!

i second miata. u can find a clean one for cheap. or you can get a bike!!! ... but i bet ur parents would kill u themselves before they let u on that thing ><

street bikes are too dangerous, imho. and they get stolen a lot so not really a great vehicle to take to school.

Yeah, best gas mileage ever. Screw what your parents say. You can be a squid in no time.

If it's your time to go, then it's your time to go. Might as well enjoy it while you can. :x

im not into bikes anymore...especially after my friend was killed in a hit and run accident a year ago

if the reason for not taking the wrx out there is because of the high auto theft rates in sac, then you definately dont want a honda... get a 88 camry, ahha.. nobody will touch that
