Overhaulin' - young driver, new car?

young driver, new car?

right now i have a 95 civic that i have to share which makes it almost impossible to get to places i need to. i dont want to spend more than 7 thousand on a car. i want something reliable so im thinking VW? i had an older golf before which gave us problem, but it was free (as with the civic) so i took what i could. im not looking for hondas anymore because my insurance quotes for them are way too high, i saw a 97 325 BMW with alot of upgrades the other day but i dont have all the money yet. i also want something kinda stylish and good on gas ( i k now the BMW isnt, but its cheaper on insurance, for me at least) what do you guys think?

Well, you can go to carfax.com I believe its called and see what kind of car you could get??? Or I'd say go to dealers, in this day and age I'm not honestly sure what cars will be worth.. Try a dodge Neon, they do excellent on gas mileage, and I've had one that as a plymouth and now I have a dodge.. Sadly enuff the second you drive off the lot of a car dealership the value of the car-pick up will drop so much sad but so true... GOOD LUCK
look for 98 Acura CL, 98 Ford Mustang V6, 98 Honda Accord or Civic, 98 Nissan Frontier or Pathfinder, 98 Subaru Impreza or Legacy, 98 -00 Toyota Corolla or Echo 00 these are all reliable and will last longer than other cars in this price range. avoid BMW, MB, Jeep, Audi, Saab the parts and service are too expensive. VWs are temperamental, some are are good, others require constant upkeep best to not get one, unless your good with tools.
a Nissan Sentra would be ideal for you or Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, and a Nissan Maxima all fairly cheap and cheap to insure, stay away from the older BMW's because if you break down they are expensive to fix.
