Planning 2 buy a used car for anything like 5-6K. Considering (Civic, Corolla). Any Suggestion.?

Civics are awesome. I own one, and it's great.

Corollas are fo course very reliable, but they handle like Buicks (poorly). I would go for a Civic or a Mazda 3 (or Protege). They are also very reliable and handle much better.

If I was on your shoes I'll take the civic, because they are great cars, and very fuel efficient If you get a civic try to get a SI or EX they got better performanceand latter on you can upgrade the engine or body, good luck

civic better resale value.

First off, good luck finding any decent Honda or Toyota for 5-6K. Unless your looking for something that has 90K or more miles on it, that probably isn't going to happen. You are better off, in the price range, looking for something like a Chevy or a Saturn, which are dependable cars that last a long time, without the heavy price tag. Honda and Toyota are great cars...but for something used and decent...you are looking at around 9K or more.

THIER BOTH ECONOMICAL AND GREAT CARS BUT THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT UR LOOKING FOR! WHAT STATE DO U LIVE IN?

i had a chevy nova that was a cross between toyota and chevrolet, it was a great car, so i would say a toyota would be a good choice, also in the 2004 Indy 500 Honda engines took 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th

go for a civic. i purchased my 95 civic ex coupe off of ebay last year and i got a great deal on it. kbb listed it's retail @ $5500, but i paid $3200 for it. it's a great car, very reliable, an absolute blast to drive, and gets fabulous gas mileage.

We buy used cars that are still under warranty because it is much cheaper than buying a new car and if something is wrong you can get it fixed under the warranty. If there is still at least 30 days and 1000 miles left on the warranty you can extend it. We got good deals on three used cars under warranty through ebay. Check the blue book value before you bid to make sure you are getting a good deal. Also, check the vin number with the service department of the dealer before you bid to make sure there is still lots of time on the warranty. Read all the feedback comments on the seller to make sure he is ethical before you bid.
