Hey guys, saw this ad for a 1990 Geo Prizm in seemingly decent shape. I only have about 1.3k to my name and looking to make a tactical purchase. Really I was looking for a 400 dollar shitbox to get around in but I saw this and I'm wondering if I should splurge a little extra for it?

Seems like I can trust the owner, I'd try to haggle it down to maybe 800 or so.
other options are this wagon, not much detail:

this tercel, seems like its in good shape:

I have other cars listed at 1.5k that I'd want to try haggling down. If you guys care I'll post the links.

Most notable mention at 1.5k is this Cavalier right here:

Wish we had Prisms over here in the midwest with that little of rust. Shit, go for it. Be sure to check the fluids for contaminants and make sure the transmission shifts.

I am tempted to do it.. Just wanted a lil feedback to make sure I don't make a shit decision. It's my first car.
Is a proper vee-ate Challenger the most American car you can buy brand new?
it's one of the ugliest, regardless
>Challenger T/A is 55k CAD
>Mustang GT is 40k CAD
Why is it so expensive?
Who /devilish/ here?
>Just returned rental car
>Curbed one of the wheels
>Mechanic didn't notice
>>17570459
Unlike your rusty shitbox, most modern rental cars have the ability to take a curb.
>>17570480
Yeah, but the curb rash was pretty obvious. Luckily, I don't have to pay for it.
>Implying I even have a shitbox
>>17570459
I rented a Chevy Cobalt once and got some cum on the seat from road head. Literally didn't even attempt to clean it up.
About to buy this in manual, did i make the right choice?
>buying a slow car
its never a right decision
>>17569879
Could always turbo, its not like its slow either, it does 0-60 in 7 seconds

Preludes were meant to be Automatic anon, you fucked up. It's a high-tech machine, you need a state-of-the-art gearbox to go with it.
Hey guys I need quick help, I have never driven a manual and I'm stuck on a hill. Everytime I'm trying to hit first great the engine stalls. I keep rolling back and there are cars parked behind me. I only have 2 shots left. Help me please, I'm not getting any responses on the Nissan gtr forums.
Pic unrelated, don't have anything on my phone
give it more gas retard, rev the shit out of it
handbrake can help
>>17569669
just slowly release the clutch until it bites and then press the gas lighty you'll know when it bites it will stop rolling backwards
>at a red light this comes next to you and starts revving
>inb4 you ignore it

Why is this Motorsport again /o/ ? How can this inferior shit be in the same bracket as Rallye or the GT-Masters?

Do you smoke while driving?
>>17569104
does vape count?
No because i dont want my car to drop in value and im considerate of other people that dont wanna smell that nasty ass cigarette interior
>>17569104
I don't smoke at all because I'm not a gigantic self harming faggot.
That and I prefer hemorrhaging money into my car, not cigarettes.
What's the best daily driver for a guy in college making minimum wage?

What's it like to drive a RWD car in the snow that has good snow tires? Is it fun or just as nerve wracking as driving with all-seasons in the snow?
>>17567901
used to be.
now everything has traction control &ESP and its easy
>>17567901
It's not bad if you got a lot of weight in the trunk and some sort of a locking diff. You'll be fucked if you go into a ditch tho or encounter a steep icy hill start.
With decent tires, and half a brain to not mash the throttle, you'll be okay.
I made it up 30 degree hills with bald tires in my miats, so it's just a matter of perseverance.

Have you preordered your 2017 DeLorean?
>>17566168
So it'll be basically a Brad new replica? Why the fuck am I going to preorder something we know nothing about?
Is it a new model or the old model or the old model remastered (not reworked)?
I paid $3200 for this, 05 G35 w/ sports/tire package w/ vlsd. Has 140k miles and has new radiator, gaskets, new bushings, oil changed, fluids done and all that good shit by the previous owner prior to selling (had receipts).
No oil leaks and no smoke, only issue is a wanky gas reading and shitty paint. There is already an intake installed and I am going to get the plenum spacer done this week (the box said 13 hp tho). Will do HFC and AF tune when all is set and done
How'd I do?
I bought this for 7k with 181,190 miles
Terrible since it's a nigger car with nigger tints
Are you a nigger?
>>17565341
Tint was done recently, and in Florida tint is necessary especially on a black car. Whats wrong with tint again?
