Hey TTG, I have been looking for a car for a while now and I'm stumped on what I want. I have a budget of around 5k. I would like at least a two door. I'm big into the sound of a V8 but it doesnt have to be a V8. I looked at mustang and camaros but not big into the looks of those cars in my price range. I would like something that goes pretty fast but for my parents sake something that would also keep my safe. Im pretty much open to anything. Thanks for reading.
Edit: I have been looking at cragislist. LOL

get a honda civic.

good on gas, cheap to fix and safe. you can certainly add to it and deck it out.

Since its your first car, you should really worry about the V8. All that matters is that it gets you from point A to point B.

Look on craigslist in your area.

You can buy a 2001-2003 3 Series BMW in nice condition for around $5000. MY first car was a 2002 328i, I got it for about $4800

V8 is definitely not something to look at especially with a 5k budget.

Besides, you don't need a fast car.

Those are some of the ugliest cars ever, in my opinion.

No one can really say a car is ugly when it has 4 wheels and gets you places. "Looks" of are car should be the least of your concern.

That's your opinion, with $5000 you could get a decent car, I think that looks and performance matters.
