Umm, in your area, I dont think it would be to hard to find. But don't expect too much. If you can, go to auctions. Just don't settle for something that you know is junk on wheels. I got a car for 400, but it had so many problems. Sold it to a guy for 900 but then piston rings blew no less than a week later.

Those guys saying that japanese cars are good cars i totally agree.. but to a certian extent... dont get ANY 6 cylinder import... only go with 4 cylinders... the japanese are known for there 4 cylinder motors and there duribility... they dont put as much into 6 cylinders because they dont sell as many and the way gas is going they probably wont.. ive seen as much as 350k on a honda motor.... they seem to run forever

If your car’s engine is still well tuned n the problem is with its exterior. I will suggest you to get your car off the dents first n den get it repainted. For your car’s color selection I can suggest you a website from where I buy paints for my corvette. It’s car paint I hope it’ll help u.
and now sale your car at higher resale price

I'm sorry to tel you this but I gotta be honest. In your price ranch any car you buy is gonna need work. Even a Honda or Toyota. Completely stay away from VW.

Since this is a really old post, I think I am going to close it.
