Posted February 20, 200718 yr Well, I would like to get an opinion from the community on what type of vehicle I should purchase... at the moment, I am saving up to buy a second generation Toyota Supra, and its going to cost me a bit of money, so I need something somewhat respectable / reliable in the meantime. I am looking to spend around 5000 dollars tops to get something decent to last me for a while. Anyways, from reading previous conversation I've noticed theres a couple people that know a shitload about cars on this forum (Tom/MillerTime), so I figured this would be a good place to ask.... I am looking for a Japanese vehicle as I haven't had any good experiences with any of the domestics I have owned. But yeah, if anyone could give me any recommendations or tips for Japanese cars around 5k, I would appreciate it. Thanks
February 20, 200718 yr Any Toyota pickup truck. They're dirt cheap, run forever, and people will respect you on the road since they know you have nothing to lose if you wreck, and probably don't have insurance.

SUPPORT AMERICA AND BUY A FORD OR GM CAR PLEASE.
February 20, 200718 yr YOU GOD DAMN FUCKING JAP LOVER!!! WHAT THE FUCK?? SUPPORT AMERICA AND BUY A FORD OR GM CAR PLEASE. Well I'd imagine he'd want to save gas because of the supra in his future... The only cars he'd be able to afford would be escorts and malibus mabye...
February 20, 200718 yr Jap cars suck, buy a german one .... Again the expense would put him back on the car he wants in the future.
February 20, 200718 yr Not sure about in Alberta, But in Ontario you can find yourself a nice 240sx with an SR20 in it for about 4-5000 dollars. Fun car to drive, not TOO bad on gas, and very reliable. If you do find one, look at the upper shock towers under the hood and in the truck for signs of rust. Also check out the spare tire bay, and the frame of course. Japanese cars are generally reliable.
February 21, 200718 yr you have made 2 mistakes 1. asking some nerds on the internet about what car you should get. 2. considering a supra
February 21, 200718 yr you have made 2 mistakes 1. asking some nerds on the internet about what car you should get. 2. considering a supra 97 supra is the shit sir.
February 21, 200718 yr As with the other real helpful posts, I'd either go with a Toyota, Mazda, or old Ford (GASP DOMESTIC?!) Pickup. Pickup trucks are very reliable and will survive the normal bumps and scrapes of daily life, not to mention that you might survive a few nasty crashes without having to actually get anything done to fix the truck. Now, if you're looking for something that you can buy for like under 2 grand, look for some old 1980's civics, the 2 doors. They're ugly as all hell, but you can strip them and get 50MPG+ as long as you drive efficiently, not to mention that the engines on Civics will go to about 400k before giving out and getting D15 engines are like less than 300 anyways. 0ne;447413']dude dont get a car' date=' get a canoe.[/quote'] SCRAP EVERYTHING I SAID, JUST GO OUT AND GET A CANOE!

February 21, 200718 yr you have made 2 mistakes 1. asking some nerds on the internet about what car you should get. Ummm, hi? I'm a mechanic for a performance shop, sir.
February 21, 200718 yr YOU GOD DAMN FUCKING JAP LOVER!!! WHAT THE FUCK?? SUPPORT AMERICA AND BUY A FORD OR GM CAR PLEASE. LOL FUCK FORD!!!!! Some american made cars are 'OK' but guzzle gas and overpriced. Jap/Euro cars pwn IMO. Supra's are very nice if you have the money to tune them, stock is just a waist of money as you can get other cars hella tuned for the same price that would pwn it in 1/4 and highway.
February 21, 200718 yr LOL FUCK FORD!!!!! typical retard buy a ford or GM if you actually want to get something for your buck, you won't need to replace or fix parts often k

February 21, 200718 yr Author Once again I appreciate all the insight and helpful posts, thanks especially to rampagen/Tom, but I do appreciate everyones input. As far as buying a domestic vehicle goes, I have owned/driven several, and all have appeared to have reasonably significant mechanical problems... maybe these were just bad models/years, but I have had experiences with the following domestic cars. 2000 Ford Focus 1998 Ford F-150 1994 Ford Explorer 1979 GMC half-ton pickup (<--- this speaks for itself.) 1990 Chevy Cavalier
