I bought a 97 civic coupe when i turned 18. Now that i think of it i should have just bought a beater car instead of working all the time to pay for the civic. It was reliable though, wish i had it now with the gas prices. My GX and Yukon are draining my pockets

Question First Car?

I have officially saved up 8 grand for m first car, while i have the es300 and the 560, i would feel beter if i paid for most of my first car. The es is geat but i want other options, and the 560 i would not drive, ill just let it sit a little longer then just give it back who knows. I am up for really anything thats under 10-11 grand, and if i drove an suv, it would either be a 4 runner or pathfinder. Here is some stuff i would like to have
- preferably a coupe or a sedan no convertables i don't want to look like a .. well you know
- would like to keep it ith a v6
-under 150k give or take
-any year is good
-automatic because driving a manual, well i might need a little time with that
-like i said before 10-11 grand
- insurance and maintaining costs really not all that much of a worry
- no civics, eclipses, celicas please
- since i will drive a lot in the snow fwd would be a chosen but rwd good to

Thats bout it, so basically i am looking for anything that is an import with a v6 or 4 cylinder for 10-11 grand ..............or ill keep the es300 either way ill be happy haha

I just looked at 323ci and a 328 ci, and man they look like great cars, both were a 2000, automatic, and in mint condition hovering around 100k on them, selling for around 9.5. I know people here have bmws that i should ask but i mean it is a 3 series, what can really break on it?

Default What was your first car?

I hope this isnt a repost but what was your first car? My first car was a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX "bug eye".
