Im looking to go back to school, finally. I drive a 98 gsr thats adequately modded. No way in hell I am driving it to school, Id much rather die than having anxiety attacks about my car being stolen (well not to that extent but you know what i mean). I just want to have peace of mind while im in class. Also due to the fact that the rain season is just underway.

Im looking to spend 2000$ at most.
I was considering..
oldschool (late 80's and early 90's) supras, corolla gts's, crx's, preludes, ef/eg hatchbacks, integras, and sentra se-r's

What would be the best bang for the buck in terms of reliability. Id love to own an eg hatch but 2k seems doubtful. Any suggestions?

 

You can probaby get a decent crx or EF hatchback.

EG if your lucky but a 2000 one might not be that reliable.

 

Volvo 240

 

where are you from?
My reason being a friend of mine just told me he is selling his corolla for 2g's

 

'91-'95 Civic or any Toyota Corolla or Toyota pickups.

edit - I've ragged out an early Mitsu mirage ('90) (1.5L w/ 3-spd auto tranny) and it drove fine (put 15k over 8 months). And, it was cheap as heck... $900.00 (+2 oil changes & thermostat) and I sold it for $1,200.

 

88-91 civic hatch aka "EF" all the way!

88-89 are the best imho (for weight and seatbelt placement).

see sig... if on the east siiiiiiide

 

What does this have to do with the Integra Type R?

What do you think the ITR forum is, a lifeline on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"

Sheesh.

After clicking on "Recent Topics" I was a bit excited to see that you have replied to this thread nsxtasy. I remember countless amounts of times reading your knowledgeable replies in the integra forums. I was hoping you would of had an informative essay written out for me to read comparing the cars or whatever.

I appologize for posting this here but ive posted a while back in gdd and didn't receive much of a response there. I presumed majority of R guys would have a daily driven car/beater, all I wanted was some advice. Again I am very sorry.. feel free to move this post to where it should belong.

 

Good link finding a nice Si hatch for under $2000. Shoot for a 88-91 hatch Dx. They run ok and will easily go well over 200K miles. They don't demand the Si price either, and changes aren't all that significant between the two.

 

last i checked toyota celicas lose their value quick...check some out
