honda del sols are old, and they weren't that great anyway -- the best del sol around probably isn't $5000. For a sporty 2-door Honda, look no further than the Honda Prelude. Find one with a vtec engine for an even better engine performance. You can get a lot of used car for $5000.

look in your local 'autotrader' magazine. they're online too you just type in your zip. make sure you run the numbers on the car before you buy people will try to work you. especially cause your young. have fun.

well you can get one of those that you want but you are going to have to work for the rest of the money. Your parents are putting their part now its your turn and you are old enough to work. You can start at McDonald i mean its not the best job but its goin to pay your car off and add some accessories to it too after. My husband has an eclipse as well but his is 2000. They are nice cars but that also have a lot of problems.

go to autotrader.com or cars.com you search by your zip and $ amount you want to spend. Remember, you have to have money for insurance, tax, tag, and title. And don't forget the gas too!!

my suggestion is to go to www.autotrader.com seach for your car and then go to www.kbb.com to check how much the car really worth, and then compare with the cars you found on there. Spend 25 bucks for Carfax.com and then check if they had any accidents in the past. Don't buy the cars that has gone through an accident or salvage title ( cars that got stolen and recovered)

I would go for a Honda Civic or an Acura Integra...very reliable and nice looking cars!!!

Don't be one of the Camry/Accord sheep. Get a MAXIMA.A clean Civic or Integra is a good 2-door
