Well guys I am here to ask questions for info and opinions for something non-Z related. My GF needs to buy her first car and is going to use some $ from student loans to buy it outright. She doesnt need anything fast, just something really cheap and reliable as it is her first car. She is looking at things like the sentra, altima, corolla, accord etc. nothing fancy. Her budget is between 7 and 9k. The most important factor is that she has something reliable for the next year or 2 at least.

Here is where I could use your help:

1.) anyone with hookups on used cars?
2.)Recommendations on dealers that have given good deals+service
3.) Any random info that could help

By the way Ive been searching for her on autotrader.com so far.

pics of GF?

For reference of course.

 

My girlfriend was in the same situation 3 years ago and ended up going with a used 03 Nissan Sentra SE-R SpecV. 3 years later and 30K miles later its still running strong, and its a fun to drive too.

 

You can buy a nicely maintained Corolla, Civic, or Accord for under $8K easy. 100K miles on a well maintained car is nothing dont let it scare you. The thing with classifieds/private ads is YOU have to inspect it or go through the hassle of having ti checked by somebody you trust. Atleast at say carmax you can buy a warranty which you may or may not need-decisions, decisions. Did you check carmax? Good luck.

LMFAO!

 

Im leaning to a sentra as well cuz they are so common and within our budget, however I am thinking she will stick with the 1.8. If she gets a spec v it will be just another car to mod.

 

I have a good freind who is a shop owner so Im not too afraid of high mileage however I dont want to buy something thats in the shop every other week you know. Im thinking something around 50-60k miles tops.

 

Don't get the Sentra. My wife got one, and now she has a big ***.
Don't let your hot G/F get a big ***.

 

+1

+1 for camry! I had a 02 V6 before the z and it was a great car. Took it to the track and ran in the high 15's. I put a few v6 camaros and mustangs to same. There are some mods for it lol! I had an intake and TRD exhuast on it. The SE trim is nice and has a sporty suspension.
