This might be my first ride (if my relative can find the keys):

Funny thing: We don't know if it's working. She's 84 and her husband is 91. However, her husband refused to stop driving (about 3 years ago), so in order to keep him from doing so, they had to take out some part. He thinks the car is broken.
I have no idea what the part is, or where the keys are, but hopefully the damn thing still works :D
EDIT: I would like everyone to know that on the trunk it says "Pontiac Sunbird", on the sides of the hood, it says "Cavalier", on the dash it says "Chevorlet", and the grill looks like it belongs on neither car.

hey its better than mine :D
i want to see a comeback of the pinto :D
-
Dude, no. Just no. I can get a better car for 500 bucks with a full checkup too. And no rust (that's about the worst thing you can have on your car because it just gets worse and worse).
I don't know how much money you got to spend on your first car, but paying anything above 100 bucks is a rip-off. The think looks like it's 20+ years old (how old is it actually?).
-
Probably around 20+ years old. We're gunning for about 450.
And you can't buy cars down here like you can in the states. Things are way more expensive, and I don't have a lot of dough to burn.

450 for a 20+ year old car with rust and missing parts? Dude, you aren't just being ripped off, you are being raped by the elderly. :p
And who said anything about the States? I'm Dutch :p In what country do you live anyway?
-
****ing Serbia, by the looks of that car.
-
I'd post a picture of my car(if i had one) then you jokers would realize that some of us have to make do with what we have...

[color=66ff00]Indeed, you can pick up 80's beemers over here for £500 in good nick.
Cars depreciate at a fantastic rate.

One of my friends' car says ford on the back, mercury on the front, and has a bumper made almost entirely out of black electricians' tape.

That's true...
I have a nice car, it's French....

This (http://www.geocities.com/onamarie.geo/caprice1984a.html) is more or less my ride. Except mine's blue and a little beat-up.
-
This (http://members.aol.com/jonptp/EGGEDramatrachel450.JPG) is my ride. :D

anon, I will thank you not to mock the Yugo. It is a fine and noble machine, the likes of which would not seem out of place in a luxurious German showroom. It has only earned the reputation for being a piece of **** because of the fact that it is.
With that said, I take a certain pride in driving around in old, beat up cars. With few exceptions every car owned by my family, and by extension me (being until recently too young to legally run over old people), has been a POS. The last car we had (before upgrading to the current fancy-pants '91 NIssan) was an '84 Dodge Aries nicknamed "Deathtrap".
-
Yeah... when driving a Yugo you at least have the satisfaction that you're not driving a Scota :p
-
Mine: http://homepage.mac.com/clave/personal/newcar3.jpg
-
Or one of those Soviet cars whose country doesn't even exist anymore.
-
Just me...but that car needs alot of work to make it look nice and probably to get it to run well, run clean, run efficiently....but thats just me.
Consider cost of the car, cost of replacement parts, cost of fixing major problems, cost of fixing optional minor problems, etc. The top end price is just the beginning.
-
Get MTV to pimp that mother****er!

I'm very proud of my Nissan 240sx, *Runs out to give it a hug.:D
-
Here's a picture of my car.
:nervous:

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

All I can say to you nay sayers is that you're lucky I purposefully angled the camera so that you wouldn't see the dead mouse (that's been there for like a year) on the passenger side mat.
It has since been removed, thank God. The skin on its back dissolved away, leaving the spine and the back of the skull exposed, but the front half of the mouse still had some semblence of skin.
EDIT: And I am gonna negotiate for a lower price, somewhere in the $100 range.
-
I wouldn't go lower than $150, it's worth more than that as scrap. Regardless you will be getting a lot of value for you're money if it runs.
-
Supposadly it does run, if it had that part and a new battery. Problem is, we're still trying to contact my cousin (who removed the part), to see if he still has it and can put it back in.

You suck.
As everyone knows, I have an Integra. Therefore I > you. Even if you have a sick RWD sports car, and I have an underpowered FWD econobox.
-
I own a Rover...
-
well that could be worse, I mean it has all it's seats... and a steering wheel.
-
I too have a Rover, a 416 SLI (hence it moves like a beast despite it's conservative exterior).
My preference for a new car would probably be a 99 MX-5, or perhaps this;
(http://www3.mg-rover.com/stellent/groups/public/@all/documents/htmlsnippets/mgr_003000.jpg)
However a mid 90's merc or bmw is more likely.
Anyway, UT, screw the naysayers. You now have a car, and thats what matters - so long as it moves, has a heater and is roadworthy.
-
and your able to cram enough speakers and amps to stop a racehorse's heart.
-
(http://www.buysell.com/userphotos/0001264409/81420031219.jpg)This is my ride (more or less)
-
I don't need a heater, I live in the Carribbean :)
The AC's probably dead, tho.
Does anyone want a vintage push-button AM/FM car tuner? It's got a little switch to change it from AM to FM, has about five large switches for station memory ( I think), and a little dial to move the bar to change stations. :D
-
This is my first, and current ride. (http://www.nissan.fi/images/mallisto/micra/big/syvatty_micra_edesta1.jpg)
Mine's metal gray in colour and it's three door model but otherwise the same car. :)
-
Ha! Thank God there aren't Micras here. It's bad enough we have those Scion xB's... and their slightly less repulsive xA counterparts...
-
Meh, I happen to like my car. It's convenient and does not use gas like like sailors drink alcohol. :p
-
My car is just as fuel eficient. And it looks 40x better. :p
-
In fairness Fury my mate's girlfriend drives one of them :p
-
We also got it for $800, allthough it was from my uncle, so that got the price down alot. Everything works, except the speaker in the driver's side door. And it really needs to be cleaned out.:lol: And to be able to boast, saying it would kick my brother's Storm'S BUTT.:nod:
-
*Feels a lot better about his ride*
*wants a Scion tC*
-
tC is hotness. Supercharged.
