The best deal is the new Pontiac GTO for about $30k, which he clearly can't afford.

BMW 3 series
Mercedes C Class
Used, 2000 - 2001.
Check the price tags on those of you're interested. I'm not 100% sure about the prices where you are.
Edit:
The Saab 9-5 2001 should be perfect for your budget.

EDIT: 1994-97 5.0 Mustang GT Cobra, then spend the extra cash on mods... or gas
Freind of mine has this same car (1990) and it is damn fast and damn powerful. Add to that the nicer look of the newer mustangs (I just dont like anything after the really old ones until 1994) and you wold have a sweet car. Also, If I had 17000, I would put a lot away for university

If I were you, I'd look at something NEW (2004), there is huge rebates and discounts for the year end, and for the money you can find a lot of decent cars out there, with FULL warranty, and then you also won't be buying someone elses problems.
Personally - I recommend Mitsubishi, they have a hell of a warranty and the cars seem to never need service work, unlike most US cars.

Secondly, you have to look at the fact that a three year old car typically won't have warranty anymore. Thirdly, you have to look at something that you can get serviced locally, i.e. your local fixit shop won't be able to fix some foreign cars, and if the nearest BMW dealer is 40 miles away, you have to pay for towing.

Heh, fun thing you mention car repairs. You know BMW and Mercedes doesn't tend to break down very often - they're not like Ford. I don't see this as an issue at all.
Are the BMW 323 and MB C 230 seen as "luxury cars"? Both of these are common, safe, economic cars. You pay alittle more when they're new, for the quality - unlike the japs wich you refeer to.
If there's an issue with the insurance he can set the car in an older family member's name.

No there not seen as luxury cars. They're seen as cheaper, shittier made cars aimed at folks who think that driving a $30,000 M-B puts them higher on the status ladder than those who drive a $30,000 American car. Here, the quality between the foreign and US is comparable. You don't pay more for quality, you pay more for name.
I suggested Mitsubishi because for around 13k you can buy a new Lancer decently equipped, with 0 miles and 7year/100k warranty.
Another thing with auction vehicles: you have to remember that they are at the auction for a reason. I work for a dealership (yes, Mitsubishi, along with Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge), and the other day we took in 98 subaru Impreza with 45k miles on trade, and the engine sounded real ticky (lifter noise). We added a quart of real thick oil to the engine to take care of tick noise long enough for it to go through the auction. Whoever buys the car will have a ticky engine after a couple of oil changes. Yes, this sounds dirty, but this happens EVERYWHERE ! A lot of cars on a used car lot come from auction. Keep this in mind when used car shopping, and ask the person whose selling it what kind of history it has. If it was a trade in, ask if you can talk to the previous owner. it never hurts. A lot of late model cars come from a corporation auction, which means most of them are previous rental cars. They don't have the dirty tricks put into them, but may have had a rough life.

"A Mistubishi is very rarely reliable"
I'll be the last to say I don't want an EVO and wouldn't keep myself very amused driving one, but I'd be planning on doing a lot of wrench turning too. Mitsubishi cars ARE NOT known for their reliability. Perhaps working at a dealership has made you jaded. I don't know. Consistently among the most reliable vehichles on the road, (From various surveys/tests) are Nissan, Toyota, and Honda. I'd say any of them is a safe bet. Were it me and all I wanted was something that would run forever I'd find it very hard to not look at a Civic that's a few years old. Or a Prelude or Integra of the same years. Bear in mind that any of these are considered "Sports cars" by high school students everywhere so making sure to find one that's adult driven is a key point. The Prelude is only a 2 door, while the Teg and Civic come in 2 door and 4 door forms, the Civic in a hatch as well.
Toyota.... well honestly I can't think of too much on the market by Toyota that I like. Maybe one of their trucks. They just don't have a sporty or semi sporty car that blows me away.
Nissan has some wonderful cars on the market IMO. The Maxima and Altima are both very stylish. (The nicest looking sedans without going into a very high price range from my point of view) Fairly powerful. No complaints.
The Hyundai is a cool looking little car. There reliability has certainly improved over the last few years, but I don't know if I'd sell the farm just yet to invest in em.
Other cars Ill mention in passing that you may want to consider.... Mazda 6 or 3 if you can find one in your price range. The newer Cavaliers that have the Ecotech engine. The Focus ZX3 with the PZEV engine seems promising though I don't know if it's available in Automatic. I've heard good things about the Pontiac Grand Ams recently.
The BEST car for your money is a REALLY tough call. There's a lot of personal needs and preferences that weigh in. If you were to ask me what the best car for MY 13K was and then my dad, I can promise you'd get very different answers. We just desire different things in a car. I'd probably be looking for an RX7 or something else sporty.
You need to think through this decision a little man. 13K is a lot to drop on a vehichle based on looks. You do need to drive the thing too. Maybe test drive a few cars and see if anything feels better then others. Or try to decide if you'll need 4 doors, or a big trunk, or would a hatch be nice. There's plenty of nice cars on the markets and 13K should allow you to buy something that's fairly decent, especially for being 17. The trick is to find something that suits you well.
I didn't find a bunch of links since it would be amazingly time consuming and my laptops power cord is being difficult right now. If you feel like hitting me up with an IM @ anytime, that's cool too. Rylinkus13 on AIM. I'm always up for a chat.

Hehe, "you have to remember that they are at the auction for a reason". Since all kinds of cars are sold on eBay I don't see where you're heading with this "argument".
About that 30k bs I think you're about the only one thinking this, aslo since you called them "luxury" cars. As I said, these are common and safe quality cars, nothing more.
Keep to the facts as the rest of us.
Nothing lasts for ever, but higher quality will make sure it lasts longer than a crappy jap car.
How did it get the name? - Trough building quality cars. Saying that you pay for the name is just annother way of expression.
If theese cars were pure crap they would have no name to make money of.
Since you're so obsessed by warranties you should also know that Mercedes has the greatest rust warranty.

Yeah, It looks like a half-assed rip-off of a Pontiac Sunfire (POS car in and of itself). That and Hyundais have Mitsubishi innards which is something I would never want to pay $13K for. The RX-7 would be one sweet ride but a 3rd Generation one would be more than a little out of your price-range. Given your price, I would give a Nissan a shot. It might not be the two door sports coupe but I garantee you it will: 1. Have more HP than the wanna-be Sunfire. 2. Last longer than the re-badged Mitsubishi.

I need to wake up???? So do you. Being an RX-7 owner I know a thing or two about them. Anyone who knows anything about RX-7s will tell you that there is a world of difference between 1st/2nd Generation RX-7s and 3rd Generation RX-7s. 1st and 2nd Generation RX-7s are a dime a dozen. 3rd Generation RX-7s were produced in much smaller quantities. In fact the only year where there were a significant number of 3rd Generation RX-7s were produced was 1993. 1994 still had quite a few but not nearly as many and 1995 3rd Generation RX-7s are quite rare indeed (at least here in the US). Yes you can get a 3rd Generation RX-7 for less than $13K but in showroom condition? I think not. For less than 13K you are going to get one with VERY high miles on the engine and the TT 3rd Generation Rotary engines aren't known for lasting long, so you will have to invest in a replacement motor before too long after buying it. $15K is about the current pricetag I have seen for a 3rd Generation RX-7 in really good condition and for a show car you are looking between $18-$20K for starters.
Here is what a recent search turned up at autotrader. There are RX-7s at $13K or less but none of them are in what would be considered showroom condition. A few of them have re-built engines but that doesn't mean much. The average cost of these RX-7s on autotrader was over $16K. You still want to tell me you could get a show car for $13K or less? Also keep in mind that this was a nation-wide search so the odds of even finding a 3rd generation RX-7 with low mileage (or a new motor) at $13K or less nearby is pretty remote:

Are there bigger vehicles, that have more room for the passengers, but as well as the vehicle?
Because some of the stuff I've been seeing lately are just big, and they have the same interior space as a Toyota, or BMW.
Plus, I've never driven stick, so I kinda like Automatic.

Post by: jesterrace777 on October 16, 2004, 01:53:00 AM
Let's consider the facts here: 1. Most of those prices you see on ebay motors are auction prices (you never know how high the bidding will go). 2. Unless you live in one of the major cities in the U.S. the liklihood of finding a 3rd generation RX-7 in your area on ebaymotors is pretty remote. 3. To go along with #2 you then have to factor in shipping costs if it is out of your area or the prospect of flying out to get the car and then taking the long journey home. 4. To go along with #2 and #3 you are buying the car sight unseen without having the chance for you or an experienced mechanic to look over the car with a fine-tooth comb and see what is really wrong with it. 5. As mentioned above it is a salvage title. This could mean anything. The car could've been wrecked, caught fire, ect. and I don't care what anyone says once any of those things happen to a car, it never runs the same afterwards no matter what you do to it. So once again. $15-$16K for an RX-7 in good condition (never been wrecked and redone by some Ghetto wannabe racer).

Maybe you should look at the prices before you pretend to know about them. To compare I looked at a 23ft new power boat. It would cost $2500 to ship it from Orlando to Norway...

| 4. To go along with #2 and #3 you are buying the car sight unseen without having the chance for you or an experienced mechanic to look over the car with a fine-tooth comb and see what is really wrong with it. |
This is wrong. You can buy it and if it's not as described you can cancel the trade.

| 5. As mentioned above it is a salvage title. This could mean anything. The car could've been wrecked, caught fire, ect. and I don't care what anyone says once any of those things happen to a car, it never runs the same afterwards no matter what you do to it. So once again. $15-$16K for an RX-7 in good condition (never been wrecked and redone by some Ghetto wannabe racer). |
Omg. It says salvage title due to theft!

Nah, like most Mitsubishis beyond 100,000 miles it was burning oil faster than I could keep it in it. I kid you not. I literally went through about 2 quarts of oil per week on that car. @DOS4GW the transportation/shipping costs could still narrow the price a fair bit. I also recognize the difference between a regular auction and buy it now. I was just pointing out that you are severely limiting your options there (3rd Generation RX-7s on ebaymotors with the buy it now option). As far as you comments about canceling the trade if it is not as described, yeah right. How do you recover your shipping costs (to and from) in such a situation? Also, I seriously doubt a seller is going to offer a refund on a car that is almost 10 years old. In addition I realize it was a theft salvage title. I was simply pointing out that Salvage in general is not something that is in your favor as a buyer. As mentioned above, theft recovery vehicles tend to recieve well more than their fair share of abuse.

Once the car is checked out you can do some shopping and hit the town.

If someone steal this:
And it's found again, it will still be the same car (if it's not smashed up).
