Taking A Break From The 5.0 Thing.... What To Get???

[84LX89GT]

If you're going to buy something just for transportation and cheap cost, just buy the cheapest, decent looking/running POS you can and drive it into the ground (by that i mean take care of safety issues, but don't throw any real money at it). It really doesn't matter what kind of car you get if it's under $1000 and gets good gas mileage. There are lots of cars out there that are "uncool" but would do exactly what you're asking. Alot of cars are overpriced, but you can sometimes find a screaming deal on something someone just needs/wants to get rid of regardless of the brand. If you go for a certain make and model you'll end up probably paying a little more unless you find someone who really wants to dump their car off.

I've improved my driving record enough to afford driving a GT, and it's taken me a few years, but insurance is only going to go down now that i have some driving experience (to keep me out of wrecks....that i would've caused) and have stuck with 1 insurance company for 2 years.

Or if you're looking for something you like in a car, save up a little bit and then buy something you may want to drive for awhile. Mustangs aren't going to suddenly dissappear, there'll be one waiting when you're ready.

Good luck,
