WhatToGet Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I honestly DO NOT know where to post this, hope it's okay I am doing it here. Hello everyone, I am 24 years old from Toronto and I obviously have a G licence. (I am from the suburbs actually but it's close). I drove my father's car for years and now I need my own. I have not more than $10,000 for the car and that price should cover EVERYTHING I need for the car other than upgrades I will spend on individually later on Facts: 1) I can't drive manual (yeah it sucks) so please don't ask if I can. 2) I want something sporty (2 doors or 4 or a hatchback). 3) I will share this vehicle with my mother and sister so it can't be something like a Toyota Celica which according to them is " too small and uncomfortable". 4) I love how reliable Toyota Camry is and honestly the car looks great but I want something more powerful but as reliable or close to it at least. 5) I already said I can ONLY afford in TOTAL on EVERYTHING not more than $10,000CAD so if it's even a dollar more it's out of my budget. 6) I LOVE MUSTANGS but doubt I can get a nice one in good condition for the price (they're coming with a face-lift on 2015 and I will probably finance that if I will be able to afford it then) I also hear that the Mustang V6 2004 has a good name when it comes to power and reliability but I am not sure how true it is, so let me know. 7) I love the 2014 Subaru BRZ and I checked it for insurance and it was $245/month. (I don't know how accurate it is but just saying) I love that car. As a side note I also really like the Acura RSX but I think they're too pricey mainly for the fact it's still a Honda. Anyway correct me if I'm wrong. Keep in mind that this is my first car so even if a Lamborghini is only 5 bucks, I still won't get it because the insurance will rape me. So please be mindful when it comes to cheap but insurance costly cars. I will periodically add more points but for now this is it. Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Jozzbo Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I've heard you can get a 2002 Mustang GT deluxe coupe for under $10,000. Dunno if its true or not, or whether you want a classic one or not. Also I think a Honda Civic SI Coupe would be a good choice, they're around $7,000. ~Jozzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adissonalex Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 As a first-time car buyer, you are probably going to pay a lot more for your vehicle, more for financing, and more for your insurance.

Cartelux Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 A great first car would be a Toyota Corolla. You should check out the review: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrusyam Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 If you are interested in buying used car then you can use the www.autovin.de website. This will retrieve the car history just like the Carfax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsmorgan Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hi, First car is always a great experience. According to me your first car should be an ideal one. This means go for something like ford mustang or Mitsubishi triton ute. Before selecting the car be sure about your passion for cars and your budget.

Mithachiku Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Before choosing your first car you should thing about you budget, purpose, family size etc factor.

Racefan83 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Keep your eye open for Subarus. They are very safe cars and have a double frame. I didn't notice if you are in a place where there is snow or tough driving you might want pick something up that is all wheel drive. They have a ton of space in them which is another feature that I like. Id say you could find something decent with under 60k miles for between 2 and half to 9 thou... Best of luck in your search. Ever think about buying from a auction? You have to do your pre inspection first to make sure you get a good deal but you can pick a lot of things up dirt cheap. Stay away from dealers if you can help yourself. Your better off going through a private seller a lot of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauralouise90 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I second what's been said about the Subarus and Corollas - either of those would be perfect and shouldn't be too small in your family's eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
