Suggest Me A Car Under $4K


Recommended Posts

After reading all the I am scared. :/ I am going to talk to the guy and see if he has any maintenance records on the car. I don't want a car where I have to pour money into to fix it. :no:

Then stay away from vw. My expectations of any vw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7q4qZNTxBU

Some of those are nice, but I have seen them all cheaper on craigslist. That '02 Accord is $3000 on Craigslist, but I can't buy it because insurance is going to be too high for me.

I am going to keep looking and go and look at the Passat again one more time and see if there is anything wrong with it.

not saying you can't find them cheaper on craigslist/talk them down...which is why I went higher to 4800, there is a ton of exposure on autotrader and generally you get more pics. besides the search engine is way better. You get a feeling for what they are going for/asking for. don't ever go there not knowing what the deal is. just because they are asking x on autotrader doesn't mean they aren't going to take y.

If you ask me, the most reliable Hondas out there under 4K are the 6th gen civics 1996-2000, followed by practically every Honda and Acura made during those years. A lot of them are riced and driven by people who think VTEC is like a turbo, so just get one that is stock and owned by older and more mature people and you'll be safe.

I'll do like others and say stay away from the Passat, or most used older Volks for that matter. The only good thing that I can think of is the galvanized steel, they don't rust as fast as they normally would.... That's it :rofl:

After reading all the I am scared. :/ I am going to talk to the guy and see if he has any maintenance records on the car. I don't want a car where I have to pour money into to fix it. :no:

Don't be. Volkswagen Group is the number one car manufacturer in the world right now in terms of the market share. They've got brands such as Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini under their belt.

They wouldn't become the leader of the industry if they made poor quality cars.

VW Passat, for example, shares the platform with Audi A4. I think the two have something about 20-30% of shared parts depending on the modification.

Check out VW Jettas (Y)

If you look at this list http://www.cars.com/go/advice/Story.jsp?section=top&story=iqsBrand&subject=iqs VW is in the top of the most problems (3rd from the bottom, the higher the number the worse off they are). So they sure are an industry leader...an industry leader of the most problematic cars made currently in the US.

Dont confuse the list above with this list here http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-Car-Manufacturers The list here is the top 10 car manufacturers in the world accroding to production numbers (how many cars rolled off the assembly line globally). This has nothing to do with quality.

If you look at this list http://www.cars.com/go/advice/Story.jsp?section=top&story=iqsBrand&subject=iqs VW is in the top of the most problems (3rd from the bottom, the higher the number the worse off they are).

VW doesn't make cars in the U.S. And any American source writing about a German car manufacturer's reliability is inherently biased.

J.D. Power is a mockery of car reliability's ratings. It puts Chevy and Nissan over BMW and Hyundai over Audi haha.

Well maybe not US, but damn close.

Volkswagen's only assembly plant in North America is located in Puebla, Mexico. The Puebla plant produces Golfs and Jettas for the U.S. and Canada, as well as "old" Beetles for the Mexican market. In addition, the Puebla plant is the center for production of the new Beetle.

Yeah I am sure they are biased. Putting Nissan above BMW...They hate imports, wait a minute......

I am going to go and buy a 1997 Mercedes Benz E320 tomorrow for $3,000. It has a couple of dents, needs its brakes changed, and one of the lights in the front doesn't work (needs a new one), but I thought it was nice.

Good deal?

Sounds good initially. How about mileage and condition though? A well maintained one would go for double that price easily while one with 250k miles, a torn interior, and rust holes in the body is near worthless.

Well I bought it. :) Thanks for all the help guys.

It has 151.5K on it right now and it has a few dents in the front, but that's about it. The leather has small tears on the drivers seat, but it's nothing major. The breaks make a really loud squeaking noise when you break hard, so I am going to buy some pads and rotors and change them myself.

Just one more question. The guy said he bought new cheapo tires called Sunny. They make noise when you are driving it. I don't know how to describe it, but he said before he put the tires on they didn't make any noise while driving. Is this normal?

Also, the front left tire, on the drivers side, on the inside of the tire it has a bit of wear on it. Is that normal?

uneven tire wear could be because of an alignment issue (most likely the case). cheap tires can have more road noise compared to the more expensive tires. could be suspension squeaking. get some ceramic pads (keeps the black dust down and off your rims).

    • No, size is not the only selling point. I did not even remotely say that. Your claim was that "building your own will be faster and cheaper". This is false. You cannot build something close to that form factor with off-the-shelf parts. You can build a Mini-ITX PC and pay more, or something larger and pay less. But these are different market segments. It's apples and oranges.
    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
