The_buster Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 What all in the vw/audio world has the vr6 and is 4 door, cheap and somewhat reliable? Also in my price range? I love the vr6 sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 skip the VR6, its in older platforms, and not something I'd recommend. Look at the Jetta, or 4 door Golf with the 2.5 I5 engine. They can sound as good as the VR6, but are dead reliable. Get one with a 5 speed manual, and it's about as reliable a car as you can expect. Jettas started in 2005, and the Golfs in 2007. I'd try for a Golf 4dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 What year were the awd golf's made? There is one on nfs pro street but doesn't say what year. Or are they all awd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 FWD only. You don't need awd. Spend $300 on snow tires instead. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Are you just encouraging the Civic because you want him to have a slow car? I see nothing at all wrong with the Caliber posted, looks like a really great deal. Caliber is okay but from crash test reports I've seen online a civic is safer. He has a family to take care of. That is why I encourage Hondas. If he was asking what 2nd or 3rd fun car should I buy I wouldn't recommend a civic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I really do think a Civic SI is your best bet. I would certainly take one over a stupid fucking Corolla. Volksvaagens are fine, but the Civic will probably be cheaper/easier to maintain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Like I mentioned before, I don't want to race anything. I just want something that is fun to drive. you know what's fun to drive?? a car that starts every time you turn the key, never overheats, never breaks, is cheap to maintain, and safe for your children. a second car can be a toy, a project, whatever you want. i would buy the newest, lowest mileage car you can afford.

mjrsplat Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I have to agree with everyone else. Get something sensible and safe. Realistically I know nothing of the lincoln you drive, if it still fits the bill keep it around as a daily and buy a cheap project car. Buy a miata and turbo it, or dont. They're fun either way but make sure you have a safe reliable daily first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 You should be using legitimate websites, or dealers for a quality used car. Not some salvage title POS, that has mods thrown at it and 125k miles. See if Jordan at JET Auto can get you a clean car. 7k is more than enough.

Again, great cars, but there are plenty out there for the same price with similar or less miles with a clean title. Don't worry about finding a modded car. You need a reliable family oriented car that can be driven anywhere at anytime with no concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Buy something clean and unmolested from a legitimate dealer, not a salvage title modded/riced POS from craigslist. Come on now Buster. Repeat after me... LEGITIMATE AUTO DEALERS NOT CRAIGSLIST MOUTH BREATHERS And don't listen to anyone who is telling you to buy a Corolla. Are you a high school girl? No, so don't buy a fucking Corolla unless it's an older $500 beater. If you spend $7k on a Corolla, you might as well cut your balls off and collect stamps for the rest of your life.

Green Bastard Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I don't understand why you are trolling craigslist now trying to window shop cars that won't be available six months from now when you get your tax return. I like the idea of talking to Jordan to see what he can do for you. He should have plenty of time to track down a good reliable car in your price range.
