Go with the accord. I have an accord coupe, and if the accord has a v6 like mine you will be surprised to find that it is actually quite fast. Get a stick or you will regret it. Sticks are so much more fun!

Also, the accord will run for another 100k miles most likely.

Why not get a small pickup? That way, you get to haul crap plus if it gets dinged up it just adds truck cred.

If I'm going to get a pickup, I'm going to get something like a Ram 1500 or a nice Chevy 1500. I don't want some small S10 type pickup.

I've got two of them with that same engine and they're very robust. You would need to keep an eye on it, and I would make sure that one has passed emissions recently.

That goes for ANY car you intend to register in Hamilton County.

How about this one: **** 1998 Toyota Corolla VE Sedan 4D *****

Going more for the 2 door, but that doesn't look bad at all. I'll put that on my watch list.

You don't want any of that modern mumbo-jumbo!

Here is what you want!



1960 Austin-Healey Frogeye Sprite.

Now, it may not have a airbag, but with a top speed of 83 mph, and 0-60 in just over 20 seconds, you are never really going fast enough to hurt yourself.

And come on, it looks AWESOME!

A few more suggestions:
98 Jetta GL
93' Nissan Pathfinder
Betcha this guy would go down on the price if you asked him: 1991 nissan sentra "ser" (fast)
There's no way you could get ensured for this: 1994 Convertable Chysler Lebaron for sale or trade
1991 TOYOTA MR2
Or this: Mustang Convertible
What I wish I had as a first car: 1986 Honda Crx Si
Or possibly this: 1989 Honda CRX

You must have missed the part that I said my mom won't let me have anything that doesn't have airbags. I'd like to know more about that mustang. I just have to wonder what kind of work it needs. Don't really like any of the others.

EDIT: Also, what would you guys think about me emailing this guy and asking for pictures, and if everything looks ok, offering like, $1800-ish?

Right...before I started driving, I thought it would be bad *** to have a V-8 monster of a Pontiac.

That was before I started paying for my own gas, and found out that a v6 mini van is horrible enough as it is. Screw those extra cylinders. I've dropped down to 4c now and I couldn't be happier.
