New Car
i was originally going to post this thread in the "general" section but obviously noobs don't have permission to start threads in there. anyways im sure you guys have gone through these kind of theads a million times before but im in a search for a new car. heres my requirements:
<50,000miles
<$10,000
reliable
lasts atleast 100,000mi
good fuel economy 25-30something mi/gallon
some aftermarket support
original, as in not many ppl own it
forget the earlier post i made about the crv and stroking it.
thanks for reading....anyone have feedbacks?

Re: New Car (The Average Asian)
This portion of your requirements makes the selection almost impossible...
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">original, as in not many ppl own it</TD></TR></TABLE>
...given your optimal scenario, a car with good gas mileage, under $10,000, under 50k on the odometer, reliable engine, with a decent aftermarket support...you've pretty much eliminated every car that would fall into any of those catagories, and you HAVE eliminated all cars that would include ALL of those qualities.
My suggestion to you is to get over the "I want to be original" thing, and get a car that you yourself likes. In the price range your kind of limited to what is available, but some possibilities would be (and yes, im including cars that are both popular and common, since thats really all there is that encompass all of what you want).
- mid/late 90's Honda Accord
- Late 90's Nissan Maxima
- Late 90's Nissan Altima
- early 00's Nissan Sentra SE-R
- late 90's Honda Prelude
- 99-00 Civic Si Coupe
...theres a few you'd easily be able to find in that price range that would meet your requirements (all but the originality one which is almost moot at this point).

hey they..i'm sorta new myself. but as far your requirements go. you cant rally be too picky. i mean if you wanna car to be original and only wanna spend $10k there arent too many cars you can do that with. i know the Nissan Gloria i'm getting is under that. but, i do have to spent probably another $4-$6,000 dollars to get it legalized. but it is original. and reliable. but then again if it is too "original" then that means the parts are that much hrder to find and they can get pretty expensive. i would just stick to a fairly new Honda or Acura.
