What daily would you buy for under $5000?

[Craizie]

Good lord, what's the point of the four doors and back seat on that subi? I'd have to fucking lay down to fit back there.

[CWO]

I saw that WRX, it looks like a fun daily.

[Scott Mc]

I bought a 96 Expoder 5.0 off the board for 1500 and love it. There is something nice about not giving a damn about the car you drive everyday. I beat that bitch like a redheaded stepchild..

[CexMashean]

Some 350z cars are getting down to that price range too.

[Chas_svo]

Well the obvious answer is miata.

Miata, $5k...isn't that like 8 Miatas?

Because I'm going to have a 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis for sale once we get it running.

It was my grandpas always been stored inside, but hasn't been started in probably 5 years.

Miata is a fun car, but I can't see myself daily driving one. All depends on what you're looking for.

Fast car - 4th gen Fbody

Luxury Car - Lincoln Towncar

Sporty Car - Miata/C4 corvette

Gas saver - Toyota Camry.

If you were interested, I am selling an 02 Z28 with 121k for $5k.

[War Machine]

My daily driver for the past 4 years has been a lexus es330. Best car I've ever owned. You can pick them up for around 5k now

Fun to drive, sporty, 6 spd. Super reliable, bulletproof motor k20z3. Super easy to work on with cheap oem and aftermarket parts. 30mpg.

200hp 2900lbs i think. I love mine as a daily.

[Nate]

I had an IS300 for about 2 years that was kind of fun. I now rock a Toyota Corolla I picked up for a hell of a deal ($4k, blue book was $6.2k) because a lady I worked with was moving to NC and had a jeep waiting for her there. Used 4 banger econobox and no payment is where I'm probably staying for the next decade.

[LaserSVT]

It all depends in what you want in a daily. If just a normal invisible reliable car I can tell you the cars we see the least in for repair are Toyota Camry/Corolla, Honda Accord/Civic and pretty much any Subaru.

Stay away from anything Korean. You can get what seems like a lot of car for the money but the parts on Kia/Hyundai/Daewoo is just nuts. Talking $350 for a thermostat housing and $470 for an AC compressor kinda stupid.
