The max I am willing to spend on a car is $1500. It will be my very first car soon.
Is that acceptable? I also heard to get one that has low mileage. How low?
>>14020325
You're not going to find anything under 5grand with low mileage.
Unless you're stupid lucky, also read the sticky.

I bought a miata for 1500. It had 140k miles and a salvage title. Fun car until the engine grenaded.
>>14020325
Your lookin at beat up high mileage civics, accords, corollas. Maybe try to find an integra or miata, or possibly an eclipse. also go for a manual if you can. Gl
Nigger you'll be lucky to find anything that runs for that. If you do it will be tore up as fuck.

First car.
'99 dodge neon
1100 bucks
196k km
Autotragic
Safetied
Ran like a dream, cruised all over, never left me anywhere good on gas, and decently quick. Had a few road trips with this thing, till one day I was driving home from work and my fans quit, shit overheated and blew my fucking headgasket. Even started in -40 last year after not running for months

this, get a ZZE110 corolla. They last forever and can be found for cheap.

no fuck you
>hurr your first car should be one you hate
At that price point you can't really look for any certain car you are gonna have to find some one trying to make a quick sale or a friend willing to sell to you way below market value. If it runs and its Japanese IRS 1500 no matter how beat the fuck up it is.

also had a 99 dodge neon as my first car, 3 speed auto too
drove it for 6 years and the only time it left me stranded was when the fuel pump went
damn good shitbox, would own again with a manual gearbox
Buy a first Gen neon and your choice of a basic tool kit. Join neons.org. Buy dirt cheap parts on rockauto and at the junkyard.enjoy your shitbox for a long time. Mine cost $1100 and had 83k. Its lasted me three years so far with no issues that weren't 5 minute fixes.

How could anyone hate a corolla?
Im looking for a car under 4k~ and having a hard time. Saw a really pretty 05 jetta at <100k miles. Even had a mechanic look at it. But im really worried about their timing belts. I don't want to have to dump 2-3k more into the thing. Everyone keeps telling me "hurr japanese car"

>Everyone keeps telling me "hurr japanese car"
For good reason dumbass
>>14020519
No they fucking don't.
My Corolla's engine blew within three months of getting it because it had an oil leak and I never added any oil.
Engine blew as I was racing some punk in a Lancer; it was black and would sometimes backfire.
Get a Corona... Crayolla... Crayon...
This car.

>>14020907
No, really.
Black smoke would come out of the exhaust.
We were only going 20 mph and then - BOOM! - my engine blew.
Corolla/Civic and shut the fuck up
>>14020927
