if you had 8000$ to spend on a car, what kind would you buy and why ?
 by the way, no american cars, as most things made in the usa are pieces of sh!t <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">
 
 thanks,

Not sure if you´re saying that you think I´m Resin, or if you´re just saying you know that he´s around...
 
 Either way, it´s still a pretty funny statement.

no, i was implying that i would get "attacked" for my anti american statement, and people would accuse me of being resin
 it looks to me like resin is Parker, but i dont know maybe that is just another bitter euro living in the usa <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_wink.gif">

If you want something that´s gonna last...pick up a 99 or 00 Civic with about 50k miles on it and that bad boy will last you another 10 years or so.
 
 You cannot go wrong with Honda.

you show me where i can find a 99 with 50k for under 8 thousand $ and i am all over that like stink on sh1t
 
 maybe it is just sh1tty mn but to find a civic for 8g id have to get like a 94 or something

Fletch:
 
 Honda. It will run forever.
 
 For good deals, check eBay Motors. Seriously. A buddy of mine bought a 8-year old Benz on there for peanuts, and it runs great.
 
 Take care,
 PK

My girl sold her 98 two years ago w/ 25k on it for 9...so if you look hard enough, you can find it. Definitely go with a private owner though...don´t buy from a dealership...they will gouge the s*** outta ya.

For example:
 
 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 2465045000
 
 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 2464502855
 
 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 2464828680
 
 You get the idea...and those are all 2000´s...99´s will be even cheaper but I didn´t see too many on ebay worth a s***. [ This message was edited by: dbdynsty25 on 06-03-2004 01:00 ]

On that auction there is a condition report towards the bottom left. The thing that would worry me about that car is the minor rust starting on the hood.
 
 STAY AWAY...don´t go near cars that are begining to rust after 4 years...it just means they haven´t been taking good care of it.
