HotCarl Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Here's the criteria: Under 10k$ used Preferably manual transmission (but if its a truck/suv it doesnt have to be) Under a 100k miles Must be a year-round car (ie, I wouldnt want to drive a high HP RWD car in the snow, etc...) Must be big enough to carry a hockey bag Somewhat reliable Im not all that picky really. Im open to any ideas from a turbo minivan (look it up, they exsist) a pickup truck or SUV, import or domestic it doesnt matter. Something a bit quicker than a 4cylinder Jetta (not hard to beat that really) but if its a truck/SUV it doesnt have to be. Some possabilities Ive thought of are: SVT Focus (for some reason I like them) Integra GSR Civic Si Any idea's car guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 you can get WRX's and WRX Wagons for that much. Saab 9-2x Aero's (aka Saabaru) go for even cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yes... My minions are doing well to convert everyone to Subarus! Muahahaha *cough* ahem... Here's one after a quick peek at Cars.com The tough part is trying to find one under 100K miles for under $10K. But it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 kinda seems like a scam, but its worth checking out in person, may just be a hell of a deal http://columbus.craigslist.org/ctd/1223385840.html **nvm, i googled it and the email address is linked to a nationwide scammer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Jeep Cherokee. Can be had for way under 10k, very reliable 4.0 is a straight 6, finding one under 100k will be a problem but the engine is known to hit 300k there a couple guys on the jeep forum I am on that have over 400k. 99+ models did have some head cracking problems but also have the better intake manifold. If you want to mod it the sky is the limit. The only bad thing about it is gas mileage except low 20s on the highway and teens in city driving.

FourString Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 99+ models did have some head cracking problems It was actually the 2000+ models with the "0331" head castings, not the 99s. Otherwise, correct. The XJ is a very solid vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Legacy GT Wagon Legacy GT Sedan WRX Wagon All are very fun cars and a ecu flash later you pick up 20-30whp and allot of tq. add exhaust pick up another 10-20 on the older 2.0's 230whp / 240wtq will put you in a mid low 13.

Now go tune a meat whistle you salami smuggler. Back to topic, very good suggestion's guys. I wouldnt mind rocking a WRX wagon, i saw a black one with bronze/gold rims last year that looked amazing, i was really impressed. Im thinking i would love a Jeep in the winter but kinda dread driving the thing everyday in the summer. Any other suggestions are welcome, i would love a mustang or TA or something of the sort but that would mean driving a beater in the winter etc...
