Help me pick out a car, Fargostreet

[inspector01]

Imprezza, Legacy, then accord would be my preference. But all of those are good cars, just personal preference really.

Alright, I am looking for a 4 door sedan, something somewhat cheap, just using the thing as a commuter. I know nothing about this market. Here is kind of what I have been looking at:

Subaru Impreza, Legacy/Outback
Honda Accord
Toyota Camry
Nissan Sentra
etc

All of these would be mid to late 90s vintage. Any other suggestions? I do not want a wagon (unless it's a decent Subaru). And any suggestions on what I should look at while inspecting these cars?

I know a Jetta would be another option, but I've already had those in the past and want something different.

The car cannot be a two door, I'll be hauling my Malamute around once in a while. Getting him in a coupe = fail.

Thanks!

Camry is reliable and fairly economical; Impreza/Legacy/Outback are great for the snow; Sentra wouldn't be too bad I suppose, and the Accord is a Honda (but still reliable/easy to fix)

Subaru then Camry.

[Stormwalker]

Are Sentras cheap as sh!t for a reason?

[SPANISH-RICE]

cause only faber drives nissans

Graydon, you should be driving something like this:

That fits your taste in cars well.

If you choose to get a subaru, and one that is that old. It will have higher mileage. Make sure the timing belt was changed. They are a bitch and cost about 450 to be done at the dealership. Other than that you will have nothing to worry about picking an older subaru.

Whats your budget? That would help us a lot more.

[Stormwalker]

Eh, just a couple grand would be the limit. Any more than that and I'd rather just keep driving the Jeep. So, the cheaper the better.

Again, I'm kind of a sucker for the Subarus lately. I'm afraid to go look at them because I could see myself dropping a bit more on one of those.

[Rexwagon]

Yeah I hear ya. But I dont really know If you would be able to find one for a couple grand. You would probably have to spend more. You could go to subaru and lease one. 199 month for impreza and I think legacy too. With no money down. 225 for a wrx i think. I know there are some small dealerships in moorhead that has a few outbacks in the 4k range.

Why would you be trying to look at Fargostreet? Have you hit bottom that hard? Perhaps you should be trying to look into a rusty coathanger, rope, and razor blades and just end your life now.

I'm looking for a sub-$2000 import beater. I thought of this place immediately.

I'm serious, I want advice. Or see you stick your genitals in a VHS player and hit play. Hawt.

Have you looked at craigslist?

Yeah. I kind of have an idea of where prices should be. I'm mainly asking if there's any known issues with those model cars in that year range (tips for what I should look at if I'm inspecting a car), and if anyone has any suggestions on other cars I could look at too, since I'm unfamiliar with this market. Or if one car is better than the alternatives, and why.

o OK. i gotcha.

The automatic transmissions in Accords (especially the 94-97s and 98-02s) have been a week spot in both the I4s and V6s so stay far away from them.The 5 speeds are very strong though.
