where can I find an affordable car

tireburner163 · 04-25-2001, 07:24 AM

I'm 17 and tring to buy a car. I only make about $80 bucks a week so I can afford a car payment of about $150 a month. I am looking for a 1979 to 1993 Mustang (V-8), a 1973-1992 Camaro (V-8, or a older Eclipse of Talion turbo AWD. Where is the best place to find one. I've been looking around the area and reading the local classifides. Is there anywhere else I can look. What about car autions are they any good.

P.S. watch out cobra owners it's a freak

Do you have any money saved up for a downpayment? If so, how much? As far as auctions go, I would suggest going to a police auction. A lot of times, you can find partially modded cars for cheap.

84 Toyota Supra
High flow cat, two chamber flowmaster, custom 2.5" piping, msd 8.5mm wires. Will have boost before 2002.
Have HKS turbo manifold for it

.....now to decide on what wheels I am going to order for my T04E......

If I was you I would save up about a couple grand down. Shouldnt take you to long. Then start looking. Because most stangs around the 87-93 era are usually from 3grand to 8grand depending on whats done to them and condition. So if you put about 1/2 down on a 5000 car. Then your payments should be close to 100 a month..the less you put down the more your monthly payment..

I'm going to have to go with inferno on this one. Auctions are the cheapest way to go with finding a car. Most auctions want all of the money after ten days so be sure you read up on their payment plans. I've seen mustangs go for under a grand and be in perfect condition. By searching the web, you can find a good buy on the car you want.
