recommend me a car

ake53 · 07-29-2013, 11:48 AM

deleted... bought a bmw e60

MisterSkiMask · 07-29-2013, 11:54 AM

I would recommend non 'premium' brand.

From your list I would say Honda all the way.

Nkc · 07-29-2013, 12:10 PM

cant go wrong with the ES300 or the Accord

i dunno · 07-29-2013, 01:14 PM

with the direction bmw is going, they might not be very fun to drive anymore when you're financially ready to buy one.

from your list, i'd pick the g35 or Honda. if the Honda is a stick shift, then i'd pick that for sure. they make some of the best manuals in the business

Mr Tonka · 07-29-2013, 01:15 PM

G35 - is300 - Tacoma

DO NOT get a Solara. Unless the A in AKE53 stands for Alexis, Alexandria, etc...

Colt · 07-29-2013, 01:16 PM

Accord or G35

Litos · 07-29-2013, 01:16 PM

so you're basically looking for a trash box of a car with little maintenance involved.

Camry
Accord
Civic
damn near any Hyundai
damn near any Kia

ThEnder · 07-29-2013, 01:18 PM

WRX?

upstatedoc · 07-29-2013, 02:40 PM

Honda accord coupe. Two door, front wheel drive for snow and the v6 has 286 hp.

friend had a toyota solara. the car easily makes the top 5 shittiest cars i have ever driven/been in..for the price i would expect better

ake53 · 07-30-2013, 07:16 AM

so far my list is now 89-90 corolla beater or find a newer honda accord or acura tl - tsx

KingOfJericho · 07-30-2013, 08:09 AM

I would look at the Acura TSX. Nice little package and extremely reliable.

if I find one under 10k.
hey I'm local. if you seen a good deal let me know. Btw, i have BMW diag laptop if you ever need anything. 413-624-7333

thanks

btw the tl-tsx is the european accord. i was in ukraine last week and this is what it looks like..

KingOfJericho · 07-30-2013, 09:13 AM

Yeah the TSX is the Euro accord - the Acura brand doesn't exist in Europe at all. Even the Civic is different there.

Thanks for the offer on the coding but my BMW is gone and I have a VAG-COM for my S4 already.

kits135i · 07-30-2013, 09:37 AM

I have never seen anything more reliable than Toyota. If that is your game get a Toyota.

KingOfJericho · 07-30-2013, 09:43 AM

The trucks are unreal for reliability. My dad has a 1998 4Runner with 340,000 miles on it. He's only replaced a clutch, an ignition, and brake pads once. Other than that it's just oil changes - and they're fairly lazy about that as well. We've had Corollas and Camrys that also all went over 200k. They go back and forth from Fairfield County to Cape Cod all summer so the miles rack up quick.

KingOfJericho · 07-30-2013, 11:25 AM

Well yes, diesel is another story.
