I buy/sell cars for extra cash all the time. Let me know what you want in a car, what your budget is and I will help you find a car.

Do you know much about the reliability of BMW's around the 2000-2004 range? I know one person who had one that old, and it's a tank.

I have been looking at those focuses for a daily here lately as well.

Yeah. BMW's are another car in my opinion you don't want to buy out of warranty and/or high mileage. They have sensors for sensors (no joke, typical german engineering) and they tend to go for $200-500 bucks a piece. It's a crap shoot with BMW, if you can find one that has service records with a solid history, low mileage then you can drive it for awhile, but don't plan on keeping it past 90k-100k miles. Toanswer your question simply - stay away from BMW's in the 2k-4k range unless you are okay with regular repairs and idiot lights going off all the time.

In my expierence, you can't go wrong with Toyotas for basic transportation, especially the trucks. They routinely will go 300k+ miles plus if they have been cared for properly.

Acura's are good cars, the TL's always sell quickly because they are nice cars, good power and resell well. But theft can be an issue.

Sport compacts are going to be tricky because they are cheap enough for the kids to own and beat on and the theft rate is really high on them. This is especially true on anything Honda related.

Too bad a lot of the Tacos I looked at in my price range are complete junk.

But I may have found a Ranger that I might go after this weekend. It's a steal for what it is. Not super pretty, but has the ability to be.

Tacos are a lil pricier, but they are worth the money because they will last forever. Awesome trucks that can really take a beating.

I've always had two Nissan Hardbody trucks and they were great lil trucks as well.

Rangers are great too! The 4cyl trucks are gutless, but they will run forever. If you buy one with an auto, be sure to check the fluid in the trans to make sure the trans has been serviced.

I'll help you find something if you want.

I'm looking at 5 spds. After talking to many people that have driven them as DDs on traffic, they aren't as bad as I thought they'd be (learned to drive a stock on my grandpas F150 V6 with 4wd and 3.55s)

I'm hoping this Ranger I found pans out. I can afford it right now, and it seems to be solid.

Going to test fit the Brembo wheels on it.
