well, it sounds like you are looking for a solid investment.  I would NEVER buy new, it's just a waiste of money since it depreciates so fast.  I recently bought a 2 year old Avalanche for about half the price of a new.  it's a good car if you want a truck.\n\nfor the long run without problems i would go for a used Lexus LS400, i owned one and really miss it now that i sold it.  i had verry little problems with it, and it drove great (i paid $6000 for a 1994!!!) The car is not a gas guzzler like the big american ones, it's roomy, it's luxurious, and it's really nice to drive.  I strongly recommend this one.

Honda is cheap, but will only take you so far, and its FWD.  Nissan's Z-series (I have a Z31 300ZX) is very fast and very cheap, and the 240sx is good car for engine swaps.  Toyota's best is either the supra or the MR2, the MR2 is very lightweight so it has an excellent power:weight ratio, but there is not much working room around the engine.  The mkIII supra's good but harder to find.  Go to www.ebaymotors.com and look at pictures and price to get a better idea.

any honda civic since '91.  the car is a champ and if u decide to go into the import scene, it would be easy to do so (especially for hatchbacks).

This might not be the answer you're looking for, but here goes.  The Tiburon is a fairly nice and fast car. If you are looking to smoke tuners and stangs, don't buy it. If you really just want a nice car that you can feel like a hero in against normal cars and trucks, then by all means, have at it.  The handling in a Tiburon is pretty decent.  I personally think they look nice.  But again don't forget it is a Hyundai (the best model, yet still a hyundai) DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING ANYTHING BUT THE V6. If you have the cash, I recommend the SRT4 or a Cobalt SS. Again assuming you want   alot of power (SRT4 is probably the best hp for your buck on the planet)

Hmmmm tough choice..... well I guess I would go with the Ferrari Enzo, sell the rare toy for 1,000,000+ then buy a house and some cool cars.

One that does not need a lot of repairs.  I suggest Hot Wheels -- good on gas and no repairs.

An Opel Ascona.Have you heard of them either? It seemed a good car at the time.

For low price compare to those expensive overseas cars with high prices, choose american chevy, ford, chrysler. When it comes to fixing overseas, you'll be sorry when the overseas car is out of warranty and then you'll be out of pocket also. Very expensive them parts are.

I have a truck. SUV style and 2.50 is too much for it. 20 dollars will only put gas meter at a quarter of a tank with the way they are now.

I don't think anyone on here would know which you should get. My suggestion is that you go to a website like epinions or some website where consumers rate cars and see how people review each of the ones you are interested in. Look for the things that mean the most to you in a car. Then make your decision. Then see where you can get the best deal for the car you want. \n\nGood luck.

A Mazda MX-5 Miata is the way to go. You should be able to get a 99 to 01 model for under 10 grand with no problem. They are very light and nimble with excellent shifter feel. Even if you don't care too much about acceleration, you will probably at least want a cold air intake and maybe a performance chip, since their engine is rather underpowered. They do look good and have good reliability too.

The McLaren MP4-20 is considered to be the strongest car.  When it doesn't break down it beats the Renault handily.  The Renault is the best balance this year between performance and reliability.  I think the vast majority of F1 journalists consider the McLaren to be the strongest car, even the Renault F1 team admits that McLaren's car is better.

That depends on what you can afford. The M3 is awesome if you have the money, but you don't want to get in over your head. The 330ci is cheaper and still a great car.

Of course, Japanese cars. They are the best in quality and reliability.
