Im looking to build/invest in a older car, but want the car to last and not be a endless money pit.

Im told by everyone, to not buy the car just because of its age, and it will just be problems.

My intentions are to spend around $5000, investing on parts that are going to make the car last long/many KMS.

What is everyones opinions on this ? I got three choices, A) spend 5-6k on a car that I dont rreally like that has 100k+ kms on it, and much newer, B) get this acura integra that currently runs good, and drop some cash into it hoping to get my moneys worth? C) Finance a random car, and get the longevity out of it, not really enjoy what im driving.(Feels to me like this is the worst way to spend money since it looses soo much value SOO quick)

All I want, is to get what I pay for. Buy some brand new parts slowly, and maintain this car economically. Based on what is listed below, I can see some value in parts.

The only concern with this car is the alignment seems off, because the tires are wearing out quicker on one side, also the suspension doesnt feel right "hard" ride.

LMFAO this must be a joke!!! Nobody would honestly waste hard earned money on this bucket of ****!!! You are beyond stupid if you bought this rolling **** box

 

x2

buy a stock late model gsr if you have 5k and want an integra.

 

Lol wow really?? I'd be trading for my bike that I paid 3 k for and maybe toss a few hundred to him.

 

keep the bike or be the joke of the town. hahaha

 

meow

 

Soo pretty much all based on looks, its a joke?? I'm more Looking for advice on parts and actual mechanics on what the cars worth and what id need to change first.

I dont know to much about what to look for, but I know how to research and read

 

buy it and then look for signs of alien life within the vehicle...

i would look for a mid 90s integra. stock. If you want something reliable i would look for an low mileage car or maybe a car with higher miles but a swapped motor.

 

if you are serious. I would not get the car haha. 5 grand can get you a pretty nice honda or acura. I can guarantee you that you couldnt pay somebody on this site to drive that car. its just too far gone at this point

 

This thread is gayier then boy George blowing the chipendales.


Buy it, rock it, get no *****, and get made fun of.

 

This is like looking 10+ years into the past. That look just doesn't fly these days man. Not hating, just saying. It's your $$, do what makes you happy.
