I'm looking for a SUV (or pickup) to call my adventuremobile. It needs to be manual transmission, and very spacey, as I'm 6'2 and hate driving in tiny cars. I'll also probably be removing all of the back seats and renovating the back of the vehicle into a little sleeping area with a mattress, heater and all. Something you would normally do in a van, except vans kinda suck.
I'm currently looking at the Subaru Forester but I'd like to get some recommendations from you all.

The Subaru Forester CROSSOVER is a very nice car.
It has been a CROSSOVER since its inception. And I highly suggest it.
It's probably the most SUV/Wagon level CROSSOVER vehicle out there. Which is great.
For a CROSSOVER.

Going to check out this 1997 Isuzu Trooper tomorrow, the guy is asking 1600 including tax ( pawn shop), 175k miles, all electric and AC works, no problems that he knows of. Anything to look for and advice on negotiating would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Tldr: buying first vehicle, what do?
I'll post all the pictures, no interior unfortunately
175k miles is a lot, anyone think it's too much? What would you offer on buying this?
This is the last picture.
So I'm signing up with the Canakek Chair Force as an avionics technician and I'll probably be starting basic in a few months. I want to ditch my autotragic econobox for a fun driver-oriented car, but I'll only have maybe 13k in the bank or so by then, and my car is only worth 4k or so.
Anyway, my starting payment will be 50k/year or a bit over 4k/month. If I find that I like and don't suck at my job, that's 5 years (minimum) of stable and reliable income. According to /k/ (not the best source, I'll call a recruiter later) at least half of that will be disposable income.
If that's the case, I could set as much as, say, 800 or so per month to finance a good new car or an even better pre-owned car from a dealer. Or maybe get something cheaper and upgrade it myself. Does that sound like a good idea?
Pic related is just a possibility, not set on anything yet.
I'd say go for it if you can afford to save some with all the costs of the car and living expenses.
The new wrx is good. My dad just got one about a month ago and hes loving it.
Personally tho. I'd say get something 3 years old with low miles. Its almost new and a way better value

It sounds like a horrible idea. Listen to your drill instructors or whatever they call them over there. You will not live comfortably throwing away more than half your money at a car that will be worth shit in a couple years. That isn't even including insurance.
Don't get married or buy a brand new car.

>more than half
Less. Closer to ~40% of what is left of my disposable after living expenses and retirement savings. I don't have any plans to have a family or get a home larger than a townhouse later in life, so I don't have much to save up for.
>never buy new
Yeah, I'll probably just get something "new" from the last decade with under 50k miles or something.
>What kind of car do you want, son?
>A Honda.
If he isn't into stance and wants a nice car to drive, an S2000 would be an amazing car, although they're a bit more expensive than a first car should be.
Good thing he doesn't want a BMW, or I would've had to disinherit him and throw him out of the house.

If you hate any car, you are a hater of cars.
/o/ is an auto enthusiast board, not for people who dislike it.
Get out.
Under 5k, what shitbox jas the fastest 0-60 time?
Probably a DSM or 1st gen STI
If you're in Amerifatistan then I don't know
>>14034948
Are you talking stock?
Cause there are many shit boxes you could buy for like 2-3k and then turbo for fast 0-60 times.
>>14034948

I saw this car back in Dubai 2013 Motor Show and other stall members where laughing at Devel's idea of a 5000hp car.
do i have what it takes to get into automotive engineering?

your design is being stolen by top name auto manufacturers as we speak.

If you're looking for something new with 2+2 seating that the average middle class person can afford..
>Genesis Coupe
>BRZ/FRS
>Mustang V6
>Camaro
>Civic Si
That's pretty much it. Why is hardly anyone offering coupes and hot hatches at the moment? You can't even get a Fiesta/Focus without having 4 doors on the damn things. You only need a sedan if you have a family or a shit ton of friends...
