Which Is A Better Deal
Posted in Brake & Suspension | Asked on Jul 1, 2010
I know almost nothing about cars, and I want to buy a used one so i can get to work faster. It takes forever on the bus.
I’m 16 but i will be 17 next month.

I wouldn’t get any of those cars. I pesonally would shoot for a decent honda civic. They are easy to maintain, get good mileage, and can go forever with proper maintenance. You can get one cheaper than all the cars you have listed.
My personal opinion is none of the above – find a decent Toyota that will last very long and get excellent mpg; especially when fuel prices go up again – look at http://www.edmunds.com for prices & reliability info :}
Maybe you know the answer yourself, cuz you had to write with caps lock on. But I’m a big fan of Mustangs. I would recommend the Mustang. And it’s the cheapest one and it hasn’t been driven too much.
Wow. You are in a bad decision. Where do I start
The 2000 Pontiac Grand AM SE2 was one of the worst cars to come from Pontiac along with the Pontiac Fiero. It was dropped for a reason because it was not a good car.
The 2000 Lincoln LS was also dropped for a reason too, looks a lot like a 2000-2004 Chevy Impala and was not very popular.
A Mitsubishi is not actually a good car and they are known for being very terrible in reliability and quality.
These cars are better for the money and are below 3000:
Coupes/Convertibles/Sedan
84-89 and 90-96 Nissan 300zx Base/Turbo (RWD 0-60 6-7.7sec)
1998-2002 Honda Accord Coupe/Sedan i4/V6 (FWD 0-60 7-8.1 sec)
Maybe an 03 Hyundai Tiburon (FWD 0-60 7.3 sec)
94-98 Ford Mustang V6 or GT (RWD 0-60 6.2-8 sec)
Ford Crown Victoria Civilian/P71 (RWD 0-60 8 sec)
maybe 92-98 BMW 3 Series (RWD 0-60 6.7-10 sec)
91-99 Mitsubishi 3000GT Base/VR4 (RWD or AWD 0-60 5.8-7sec)
95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse (FWD 8.6 sec)
Porsche 924 (RWD 0-60 7.8sec)
Maybe 92-00 Lexus SC 300/400 (RWD 6.7-8.3 sec)
92-96 and 97-02 Honda Prelude (FWD 8.5 sec)
93-01 Pontiac Firebird (RWD 0-60 6.4 sec)
82-92, 93-97and 98-02 Chevy Camaro (RWD)
Maybe 84-96 Chevy Corvette (RWD 0-60 6.7 sec)
1993-1997 Infiniti J30 Base/Touring (RWD 0-60 8.9 sec)
95-98 Nissan 240sx (RWD 0-60 7 sec)
90-95 Toyota MR2 (RWD?)
86-92 Toyota Supra (RWD 0-60 7.2 sec)
91-95 Hyundai Scoupe Base or Turbo (FWD 0-60 7.2-8.9 sec)
AND MANY MORE!!!!!
ALWAYS BRING THE CAR OR BRING A MECHANIC TO SEE THE CAR OR IF YOU CANNOT GET ONE THERE ARE SIMPLE WAY TO CHECK.
the grand am is a pile, aka money pit-this car will nickel and dime you to death. Mustang is a good car, but not practical on a budget. LS is somewhat of an exotic vehicle and has to be serviced by experts, not wanna-bee mechanics. The Galant is your best bet, mitsubishi makes very good cars, but can be pricey when they need work.
Trust me, I wouldn’t bullsh#t you.
Mustang but hey im just saying that cause i have one and i like it haha
the mitsubishi galant only 4 cylinders = more fuel eficiency = more money in your pocket in the long run.
