Guest spydercolt8 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 My wife wrecked her car last Saturday night. it's totaled. so i need to find another one for her. it wouldn't be a big deal but I'm in Iraq and it makes it hard to help her as much as i would like. what kinda cars would everybody suggest for around $7K. she wants a four door, auto. nothing big but not a tiny car. she had a 2000 grand am, she liked the size of it.

copperhead Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 any subaru toyota camry, avalon, matrix/pontiac vibe (same thing) nissan altima, maxima I would almost suggest an accord, but people want too much for honda's when you can get a toyota at the same quality level and nearly the same fuel milage for less cost. Plus hondas are completely bland. I'm a bit biased - I've never owned a fwd in my life, and generally have been a toyota nazi truck owner. I just picked up a WRX and love it, its such a huge improvement over fwd, but has far less traction issues in bad weather than rwd. I guess my top picks would start with the AWDs, subaru impreza or forrester, or a matrix/vibe. Next tier would be the toyotas, then the nissans.

copperhead Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I forgot to mention that newer hyandai's arent half bad. I'd probably stick that betwen toyota and nissan. Just make sure the factory 100,00 mile warrenty is still effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I've got a '99 Grand Am SE I'll sell you. It's in good shap for the year and has 93k miles. It's in the for sale area if you are interested. Asking $4,200 It should get her by until you get home for a more serious purchase....
