were looking for a car for my daughter in the 4-5 thousand price range.
it has to be front wheel drive and a automatic -do to here being in a heavy snow area.
what you think i should look at in cars ?
and hse will be in school for like 5 more years.
if i could buy a tank i would but i dont think she would drive it .
and she will have to get a summer job and a part time job to pay for it so we are trying to keep payments at around a $100 a month.

A Honda Civic 4 door Early to mid 90's or a Escort 4 door should run you about those prices... 4 door cars are generally cheaper on the insurance also... Don't ask me why but every 2 door car i've had the insurance has sucked ass on it and the few 4 doors i've had have been cheap as hell...

I have a 92 Celica GT...but it's prolly more than your looking to spend..it has 80,000 original miles..Tilt,Cruise,Automatic,PW,PDL,Electric sunroof,K&N Filter system,New exhaust w/ one of those stainless steel wing ding mufflers :D ,newer tires,just tuned it up with 4 new splitfires last week,had all new belts including the timing belt changed about a month ago,changed the antifreeze along with the oil last week..Overall the car is mint..I have a friend that's gonna buff it out and wax it next weekend.
The only reason I'm even thinking about getting rid of it is I have a bad back and it sucks to get in and out of all the time :( My fullsize pickup rides alot better ;)
I'm asking 6000.00...I live in the Cincinnati area if your interested??
