Topic: Car Shopping | |
---|---|
My car was a total loss. Talked to the shop. They said State Farm should be calling me Friday. Until then, I don't know what I'll be getting from them.
Bank gets 1000 of it. I was a couple months away from paying it off. I don't know how much will be left to get something else. I know the trade in value on it is pretty low. I was surprised at the resale value. I'll be fine if I get the resale value. Find something used that I can completely pay for and not have a car payment. That would be nice. But finding something that ISN'T an automatic is a challenge in this city. And ideas on a good, small car, with great gas mileage? |

My 93 stick Civic had 160k and still got 30ish mpg. And I found it for $1000.
My 92 Accord got, @ 130k, 21 mpg city. A well-maintained older Honda is your best bet. |

A older model Honda Civic or Acura Integra would probably be your best bet for gas mileage and cheap.
Buy Hondata S300, take it to get the air/fuel tuned out leaner and see 40+ mpg easily |
