Buying my first car. Suggestions?

Okay I plan on buying a new car, im only 18. I have my license, obviously. I have $5,000 saved up. What are some good cars I could buy for this price?

Used cars, I dont think I could get any decent new ones for $5,500.:P

haha, model names would be nice. Not just brand names. :]Jamiemydearx3

-.- damn I dont no **** about cars. I know I shouldnt buy a car with a lot of miles, and that also depends on the year or something? *shrugg*

Okay, on that one website you suggested. Kijij was it? They had one Honda civic in my area and it looked alright.

How much is the average insurance bill?

Civic. They're boring and unoriginal, but there's a reason everyone has them: they never freaking break down. Luncbox1

Honda's always last for ages. That's why I buy Honda bikes.

For a starter car, I recommend a Vauxhall Corsa, Fiat Punto or VW Polo.

1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.

They usually sell from $2000 to $8000 if they're in good condition.

How can you say no to this?

Or this?

Just look at the dashboard of this badass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j76sGWtTQwA&feature=related

Definitely this:

It really depends on whats available. Look at what you like then narrow it down from there. Check the mileage in the cars and see what you can find about it's history (if you're looking online most places will tell you what's happened to it).

Keep in mind you'll be paying for insurance too. You'll want to get something and still have enough cash left over so you can actually afford the insurance bills.
