Jim Dye Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 Honda's are great cars. I drove a CRX for 10 years before it finally gave up the ghost. Be patient, you'll find a good deal out there. Quote
WD45 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 Go with a Honda. Or a Toyota. Stay away from the Chrysler Cirrus. Mine plagues me on a quarterly basis. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 I drive a 92 Accord Wagon, and my wife drives a 93 Accord sedan. GREAT cars, and I'd buy another Honda in a heartbeat. Look in the classifieds in the newspaper. That's how I got my wagon. Good luck!!! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 If you can't find a low milage Pinto, I suggest a Corvair. Quote
Peter Johnson Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 DO NOT GET A SAAB! Now that I've got that off my chest, if www.cars.com covers your area, it's a good way to browse. It's an online classified that service (tied in with local newspapers), not ebay style or online transactions. Sorry to hear about the crash--good luck! Quote
catesta Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 If you can't find a low milage Pinto, I suggest a Corvair. SS1, don't be tempted by Chuck's suggestion of a Pinto, for a few dollars more I would get a Maverick, it has more power, leg room, and better styling. Quote
catesta Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 Seriously, I would pick up a hard copy of Auto Trader, or look online. http://www.autotrader.com/ Quote
Soulstation1 Posted December 5, 2003 Author Report Posted December 5, 2003 all the hondas in the newspaper have over 150,000 miles and one with 197,000. i saw a ferrari for $43,000. i'm trying to not have any car payments, my last one was in 1989. ss1 Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 You're right, SS. Car payments suck. Sorry to hear about your accident. Surely, you've got some insurance protection?? I would have hurt my knee against the other careless driver's jaw if he didn't have coverage! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 Last car I had was a Toyota Corrolla. I got sick of the damned thing and stopped changing the oil at 150,000 miles to hasten it's death. At 190,000 I gave up and just sold the damned thing... Quote
jazzypaul Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 (only half way joking here...) My 1972 Mercedes 280 SEL 4.5 is for sale... Quote
BERIGAN Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 Check ebay! You can even search by region! Quote
BERIGAN Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 Don't be another face in the crowd with a Honda....get a Corvair! Quote
Peter Johnson Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 Jazzypaul, check your PMs! Quote

wesbed Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 I have one of these great Plymouth Breeze things: You know, it's an historic vehicle (since they don't make 'em anymore!). But, don't buy one unless you want to replace the head gasket, the rear seal, the motor mounts, the brakes, and the A/C compressor at 30,000 miles. Quote
catesta Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 But, don't buy one unless you want to replace the head gasket, the rear seal, the motor mounts, the brakes, and the A/C compressor at 30,000 miles. I'd still get one. Quote

I'd still get one. Yeah, it a real collectors item, a limited edition. Just like some of those Blue Note releases. Quote

As the former owner of two wonderful Dodge cars. (Actually to be fair, the '87 Shadow was Ok; the '91 Spirit was a piece of junk), I will never buy another Chrysler product again. I now own a Ford Taurus which is OK. I read recently that Daimler Chrysler is putting mega bucks into sponsoring a football game at half time of the '04 Super Bowl between two teams of bikini clad women. Not that I don't like watching women in bikinis play football, but I think Chrysler would be much better advised to put the money into assembly line quality control (an area in which they are sadly lacking).

Soulstation1 Posted December 10, 2003 Author Report Posted December 10, 2003 only one thing worse than making carpayments that's dealin' with insurance agents................... ss1 Quote

Ah yes, the Lingerie Bowl ... I wonder how that fits into the BCS? Quote
