Does anyone have any input on a good DD for less than $3k? I was thinking a Honda, but everything I come across is super riced out or beat to hell. I would like something 4cyldr, no preference otherwise as long as it's reliable and has air conditioning.

Focus ZX3? Might be able to find one. Good aftermarket for them, good gas mileage, fun car to drive.

Clean reliable dsm's in that price range. It all depends on what you want. I kindof like the fact you can pick up a dsm for 2-3k or less at times. Plus with $1000 in aftermarket and you can make it fun.

I definitely agree with you here in the aspect of spending little (just like with an evo aftermarket) and making it fun.. but those cars usually have so many problems since they are so high mileage and some are almost 20 years old now :/

The first CL link was one I was looking at, but it's a dealer or something trying to sell it and they seemed sketchy. The rest of the links I have seen also and would not even consider. Thanks for the reply tho!

what are you expecting to get for under $3K though?!
anything at that price is gonna be old, have a lot of miles, probably beat up a little and most likely from a private buyer or small dealership

he is expecting a 07 with less than 30k miles ROFL

SOCALMITSU.COM

87-91 BMW 325i 5 spd
90-95 Mazda Miata
89-93 Nissan 240sx 5sd
85-87 Toyota Corolla SR5 5spd, or if your lucky GTS

These can all be purchased under 3k and you can have fun with them

he said he wants a DD though. so a "fun" car, or something to mod really isn't what he's gonna want. Otherwise he could just pick up a DSM. the key word in his post is "reliable"

Did you just put "reliable" and "DSM" together?
