Whats a good cheap first car? (1 Viewer)

A handful of the people on this forum meet the prerequisites of a "professional". i.e. I'm a 5000+ post member of a car forum, and I write the articles giving the advice. I come here to help out because the questions don't require me to think as hard or write as much. But yeh, there's also the few people who say things that aren't really on the ball...

hahahaa...we're FAR from professionals

i only had my first accident on saturday

By the end of next year I'll have bits of paper that state I am a professional. And by the start of 2007 I can rightfully say that I'm a "motoring expert".

Screech. Bang. Oh ohhhh

Fill us in mate...

you could get something pretty shmick for $5k if ur patient. heaps of nice modified cars sell for way less than the owners paid to do them up. every now and then you see a car like this

selling for $6000 ($5000 without the 18's) and it brings a tear to your eye lol
but yeh just be patient and check out the market. you could get a s13 silvia ca18det for 5 grand or maybe a sr20de depending on what you want...
