buying a car can be frustrating

[nikweiser]

ive been looking for cars for the past week and a half now.. i want to get a good reliable car of course, something that isnt to big (ive been driving a yukon for a while and its a fucking boat)
every car i go look at that seems to be nice always has those certain flaws.. and the little things matter, like no AC, the hood doesnt shut right, its got damage here, the interior is fucked, etc..
so ive pretty much came down to a few last cars we think might be the ones.. were checkin them out today:thumbsup:

this is a 98 civic EX with only 100k, and they rebuilt with a new engine at 87k miles. has a AEM intake and some other shit, and a real nice sound system i guess...

the other car is a 1992 toyota celica GT all gloss black, but it has 170k miles.:wtf: ... my dad has the listing somewhere i dont know where it is so i cant post pics, but im sure everyone knows what a 92 celica GT is just google if you dont know


i like the civic but my dad likes the GT, what do you guys think?
both the cars bodies are in perfect condition inside and out...

What's even more frustrating is buying a car only to find out that the gas tank leaks if you fill it up more than 3/4th of the way. But the Celica gt sounds cooler.

ouch, ya i make sure i know everything about the car before im going to buy it..

but ive never really looked at a celica GT before, does anyone know how they are???
its a toyota i know its reliable but anyone have experience?

Buying used cars sucks. Sorry, bro. Good luck with your search. Hope you find a good one.

if the body on that civic is good those are awesome daily drivers, dealership i worked at considered cars like that "gems" real good re sale value.

definitely the civic, it has a lot less miles than the celica plus a new engine. the sound system and the air intake are a nice plus as well.

Civics are good on gas, and the engines and all can be upgraded. Like the things you see on the Fast and Furious. Maybe not with all nitrous, but you get the idea. You can soup it up.

As for Celica, an old buddy of mine, he had a GF who had a red one, and that car could move man. It was really fast, but not very spacious. It had a really low roof, and if you're as tall as me (6'4), I had to bend my neck sideways to sit in the back seat. I found it very cramped, but very fast.

Not to mention you said it has 170k on there already. I would avoid that one my friend.

I'd go with the Civic. The insurance is probably cheap, it's cheaper to maintain, good on gas, and you can do as much upgrading to the car as you want as there are many of body kits out there for them.

Have you looked at them yet? Can't really choose without touching it. Are you paying cash?
