Celica Forums General Discussion General Got a Choice To Make

Ok so im buying a different car, these are my only 2 choices i have in my area. So here is what i got to choose from

Pic:

1995 Subaru impreza L (1.8' Engine, 100 HP, 110 TQ) Teal Blue, Tan Interior
124,000 Miles.

Pic:

1994 Mitsubishi Galant S (2.4L engine 140 HP, 148 TQ) White Exterior, Grey cltoh interior, 125,000 Miles, power everything

i'd take the galant

why are those your only 2 choices? personally they both have too many miles for me to say either of them... it's better to spend more money on a lower mileage car rather than to spend less money on a car that's going to have lots of problems soon if not already

galant

the mitsu

the only reason that these are my 2 choices is kuz i dont want any american crap, or a car that everyone else has around here, and i only have like 2000$$ to spend, and you guys are all used to a richy ass 1200000 dollar car and all that shit, maybe i dont have money like all of you guys. i only have 2000, and minesota isnt a good place for non-american cars.

ok, well get the galant, more powerful than the suby

120k...

does that Subaru have spinners? if you just need a beater, the subaru may be better for gas mileage.

i say the galant just for shits and giggles if nothing else

i'd go with the galant

im prolly gonan go with the subaru, and im going to buy some nice rims for it right away, those hubcap spinners are gay i know. i just like the looks of the scooby more, and no this is not a beater, this is going to be my car! im not really a racer so yeah...prolly the subaru its really nice...i dunno...

What are you taking about? Are you the one with the old white celica? And maybe we arent all rich.. We just WORK! And why are you hating people? err anyways..

Did you sell your Celi?

and Minnesota is huge for non-import cars... Dude we live where Trucks and Subur. are what you buy.. Go get an old Stang or Chevelle. There everywhere.. for cheap too... both those cars have a lot of miles on them and I'd look for somthing alittle lower if you could. Even though you only have 2,000 you should get a loan for like 6,000 more than you could get a DEPENDABLE car! Plus with that 2,000 you could hold a loan for along time.

the whole point i was trying to make... is the cheaper cars with more mileage are going to end up costing you more anyways because you're going to have to spend money to fix them every time they break... so you're better off paying more for a lower mileage car that's not going to nickle and dime you... and for your info i buy wrecked cars which you can get for half price of the normal car... plus i work... i wasn't trying to say go spend 40,000 on a new car... i'm saying go look around and don't set a spending limit... get a loan if you have to... there's nothing wrong with it... even if you need a cosigner... also you should remember to check any car out before you buy one... even if you buy a brand freakin new one... my boyfriend drives an alero which he bought new (he doesn't like used cars) it's a freakin lemon... he's put probably over $2000 in the last 3 months into that car cause stuff keeps breaking... just make sure you get a car that doesn't have that problem... cause trust me.. it sucks..

also if possible... have you ever thought of maybe looking at wrecked cars to see if you can find one that isn't wrecked that bad that you can fix yourself? it'd be a learning experience plus you'd save a ton of money... that's how i got my celica (although my brother-in-law fixed it.. not me)

well i was going to say the subaru for modding purposes, but didn't
but yea, they make some stuff for that year suby that you can use.

is this for a beater car or for a car car

Save your money and take the bus. Both those cars are junk now especially since they have over 100,000 miles on them. Save till you get to about 4 or 5 thousand, then take ur counrty ass to a gas station and get an auto trader, and ull see there are many more options out there, and oh by the way, we worked our ass off for our, not 120,000 dollar cars, but our 13 or 12 thousand dollar cars, maybe you should try it

yeah i'll applaud that. I started working over the summers when i was 13 years old...and i worked 6 days every week i didn't have school because i was in love with cars. And for the first two years all i was allowed to do was clean up, pick up shit, and package boxes and clean up ink and shit...it sucked big time. But now i drive a car that i love...and i'm proud of it. Sure some guys get their road paved in gold...but that's probably because their parents busted their ass to give their kid what they never had. Don't be such a hater.

what's your buget, I'm sure there's better brands if you look, but I'd say the galant

subie and do the turbo swap... sleeper
