So what would you guys get? What car/year? The car must be $5,000 or less. No down payments.

I'd buy his car.

Or a used Honda/Toyota might be easier to find. If I only had $5 large for a car, I probably wouldn't have the disposable income to be driving to the ski slopes so I wouldn't care so much about awd.

I might just get the AWD version of my L sedan and a lot of goodies for it.

A used, but not abused Mazda Miata! You should be able to find many examples with relatively low miles for under $5K.

Its a 95.

A maita is good too, but not very practical. I almost got one instead of my L cause it took so long to find a used AWD manual L for ~$5000, cause ~$5k miatas are everywhere.
