tell her to get what she likes

 

She asked for my opinion and help

 

Honda, as much as I hate to say it. They're freaking bulletproof and can be had in pretty good shape for that much.

 

i think u can only get a geo metro for that price new. these days all cars are like 14K+ after tax.

 

maybe a new honda Civic.

I know this a Subie place but unless she cares about AWD it is just extra gas because of the friction. Civic will get 25mpg and it will be fine for many years.

PT Cruiser/Taurus will be doubtfull reliability and poop resale.
Used Audi and BMW stay away. Every time she visits the dealership with something electronic broken she will be unhappy.

SRt4 she will pay too much insurance and does she really need all the performance?

Hyundai may be a good idea. they have improved quite a bit and they are very reasonably priced. Kia as well. Same company.

Get her a used Legacy, TIA

or an E36 328i

 

get a hyundai accent! those things can move. One of the guys on i-club, yungjin, got burned by one with his wrx...haha, i still give him **** for that. you all should join me

 

:rotfl:

 

Ditto. You can get a brand new Honda Civic Sedan (VP) for around 12 grand. It comes with an auto trans, a/c, and cd player... otherwise it's bare bones.

For 12K you're not going to find a better quality car.
You can probably beat this price by a few hundred:

I dont think he meant a brand new car since he was considering old RS's

 

Tell her to get a minivan

 

nah, she's a Milf....Milfs don't look good in minivans.

 

damn, you need to introduce me to her then.

 

I also meat it would get 35 mpg not 25

They have those crazy deals that you can lease a new Civic for like $159 a month or something? Maybe she can buy it with something simmilar.

Look into a 97-00 Jaguar XK8. The prices can range from around 12-20K for decent milage cars. If not that than deffinently a BMW
