$2000-$2500 car

Anyone know of one out there? One that most likely won't fall apart for at least a year or so?

I know a guy needs a hand up and deserves it.

He is riding the bus going to school and working and it's a tall order. Needs some wheels..

Let's face it, I will go look on the book.

Chevrolet Cavaliers and Chevrolet Cobalts. They all run off the 2.2 or 2.4 Ecotec and mine is creeping closer every day to 200,000 miles.

Sure they are ugly and near torturous to drive, but are incredibly reliable and incredibly cheap to repair/maintain.

Other than that go Japanese, be wary of Toyota Corollas from 1998 up and Camrys 2005-2009 as they had oil consumption issues due to oil drain holes not being large enough on the rings.

Also mid 2000's Honda Civics auto transmissions blow up, manuals are great.

I just R&R’d a 2.2L and did new timing and balance chains in a 2008 Cobalt. Really easy cars to work on. We figured out two things, only use OEM sensors and also, all of the factory exhaust manifolds we saw were cracked and needed to be welded. Probably a flaw in the casting. Other than that, decent cars.

If he doesn’t shoot me details I need a daily. Will message you my number.

I think my son in law will be selling his Honda Civic for around the 2500 mark. I can get some details if you want.

That's a good looking car...as were most of the Northstar Caddy's....but I would be wary of calling the 4.6 Northstar reliable as most of them are notoriously UNRELIABLE and very expensive to work on when they break.

Alright let me catch up with him and see what he thinks. I am kinda mentoring the guy and I even don't mind pitching in a few bucks to get him going with the thing but I do not want to saddle him with something that's going to give him trouble or add expenses..

Thanks much for the replies!

[Chopped54]

The Caddy sold this afternoon, let me see what I can come up with in that range...

[slow84lx]

That Caddy is a nice ride for sure but exactly the car he should stay away from at this point. Been there, done that. Not reliable at all and expensive to keep rolling, even doing your own work. It is probably a blessing that it is no longer available.

[93LXHORSE]

Alright... yes the Caddy would have been a gas guzzler and maybe problematic.

Thanks again!

Manual civic all day.

You obviously don't watch The Grand Tour. It's one of the most reliable luxury cars you can buy in China.
