What kind of car to get?

[miamiheat3332]

Ok im going to be getting a car, max price is probably 4k. It can be anything from a good 300zx, to a pickup.

Preferably something that i could mod along the way, but it cant have too many miles on it, no more than lets put it at 125-130k, unless its really cheap and still runs like a 240sx that i could clean up.

It needs to be reliable at first since i need to get to work, then high school, then work again. Insurance, gas, and all cost some, but i will also have money to save and invest in the car.

Ive looked around on autotrader, cars.com, cars direct and all and didnt find anything too good, i know i always read about how people strike deals so hopefully you guys can help me out.

It should be within like 200, max 250miles radius from Allentown, Pennsylvania

Thanks.

I'd tell you to buy my 2+2, but I'm in California.

Yeah im keeping it down to a 200-250mile radius limit, gas $ is higher now, and driving one way and back, because the car didnt meet expectations isnt cheap either.

Try posting your question here, in the North East sub-forum. These people are in your area. They'd have a better idea of what the local scene is. Good luck!

Sounds good, i will do that too, but i was just looking in general what kind of makes/models people would recommend, maybe im missing some that i think are good and all that.

craiglist?? try to find an old toyota pickup with a 22re in it. bullet proof. or an early 90s f150 with the 4.9L super six in it.

yeah i liked the old toyota pickups, easy to work on and simple, but they are a little pricey especially looking at the year, miles ,and the condition of some
