Help my brother find a car - suggestions :)

My brother is learning how to do body work, and he’s looking for a car. He asked me what to get, and honestly I have no idea…I’ve never looked at cars that price. So I’m looking for ideas for something cool for the young bol. He’s 16, and needs something that drives in winter. He’s an idiot so if you suggest something RWD he will probably not see the age of 17.

  • His budget is under 2000 dollars
  • No grand ams, corsicas, cavaliers…you know, domestics. Sorry.
  • Needs to run well, however body can be in poor condition.
  • Something cheap and relatively easy to fix if it happens to break.
  • If fixing it up looks-wise will increase value greatly, that’d be a nice plus.

So yeah, any ideas? I kinda want to suggest an older Subaru…

my crx, with the blizzaks that i have? lol

eg hatch, next question :stuck_out_tongue:

4

hahah, thats another thought, but you know…I kinda want one and that’d be wierd.

5

ughgh

my blazer

find my fs thread. Im aware its a dumbestic. but its a tank from hell…

6

yeah
honda hatches are almost guaranteed to have rear quarter rust
240sx are almost guaranteed to have hatch and rocker rust

Relatively easy fixes and i dont know you would turn a profit after the labor is done…but you probably wouldnt lose out on the deal

7

yeah…240sx will leave him dead, it’s rwd…he can’t drive worth a shit as it is. i would however have done that if it was me…either that or an EG. EG would be wierd since all my friends drive them and I kinda want one…haha. I know as gay as that sounds.

old subarus = no love?

8

no crx then? i see how it is…

Most of the older subarus hold up fairly well in the weather and the bodys really dont get that bad on them to learn alot.

My Legacy. Do it.

try out http://www.buffalocars.com/, most of them are the same cars that are found in the buffalo news.

If you want something cheap, rusty, decent on gas,reliable and not much loss if he wrecks it then get an older camry or corolla

an EG would be nice though and maybe you could steal it from time to time

12

That’s true, maybe I can buy the EG off him later…:slight_smile:

13

He can buy my black civic if he wants to do Body work…

14

under 2000 import that isnt rwd and is somewhat fun and somewhat unique? older celica?

15

I have an EG he can buy for the right price
:smiley:

I recommend a honda that hasn’t been overheated to piss because pat miller has used up his motor swap for this year

HAHAH! Your brother is driving now? Lol. Shit. I still remember that kid as like a 13 year old.

NUTTY!
