Purchased. Ignore the thread


Well this is a bit of a unique situation so let me explain. I am currently in Chicago, IL but Im from the San Fernando Valley (818). My family is still in the valley and my parents are buying my sister her first car and asked me to help them search for one so for this reason pictures sent to me will be very important. They are budgeting themselves to $3,000. Here is what they hope to find

• Manufacturer doesnt matter as long as it's reliable and decent on gas.
• Working A/C is a must. Power steering and power windows are preferred
• Auto trans, although manual isnt cancelled out
• Able to pass smog legitimately without any tricks or issues
• As close to stock as possible. Nothing abused
• Nothing that leaks or burns a quart of oil every 1,000 miles

This isnt a car to fix up but rather one to buy and start driving right away. It's for my sister and she can care less about modding a car just as long as it gets from point A to point B without any worry. Were not limiting ourselves to Hondas, its just what i know best.

Obviously if normal maintenance is needed then thats understandable (oil changes and things similar to this) but my parents wont want something that will need new axles, or tie rods, a new headgasket, etc.

They are trying to stay within the valley and surrounding areas.

They are not looking for an instant purchase since they want to make sure they choose the right car but they definitely 100% do want to get her a car as soon as they can.

Please send me the information either in this post or via PM. Ive already start lurking other threads to see what it is available.

Thanks

 

I think a toyota, honda or nissan is a good car to start with.
Ford focus also came out pretty good and are also cheap.
How old is the sisiter btw? Does she have experience driving?

 

those are the main manufacturers i am searching for. shes 18 with very little driving experience. ib4shesjustoldenough & sheshouldstayinthekitchen lol

my dad is decent with cars so hell be the one checking them out. i dont want her to buy a car and have it become a headache

 

I bought a 96 LS SE with 145k and in tip top condition. You should be able to find something nice and running strong

 

Your good then your on the right track.
Damn get a her a beater then after a couple of months get her a nicer car, trust my sis wrecked her first car and fender bender her second lol

 

i slapped my sister when she said she wanted a corolla lol jk. get her an older camry or accord. cant go wrong with those.

 

Corollas are coo

 

awesome. thanks! thats what my friend has been telling me. i bought a beater civic for a grand but i knew it was a fixer-upper so i spent another $400 in suspension/steering and its been running great. i want to avoid that and just get soimething running
yeah my parents are expecting her to hit something and thats the joy of owning a honda. cheap parts! lol
lmfao nah these are my choices. just looking for anything really





my parents actually want a car asap... well its not 1st priority but the sooner the better. they are going to a car auction today. show me what you have!!! bump

I have a 1999 grand prix stock, auto, power everything, bose stereo system. Runs perfect nothing wrong with it.

I recommend a Honda.

 

Edit My sis just hit my car with her damn tow hook on her truck when I barely painted my car

 

What a way to start the day.

 

It sucks man, and since its low she hit right on top of the license plate taking some paint off.
