Hey guys! This is my new channel where I go over strictly gta online content: youtube.com/@giggity280 If you’re interested in gta online, please go check it out!!
hey I have a question, I’m 16 and gonna get a summer job and I seen a 1974 Porsche 911 and my dream car, on sale for like 3k, it’s a little bit of work and I don’t know if I should buy it, I’m trying to get into mechanics for college and think this would be good to learn from. If you don’t answer it’s fine
@@00rxco for only $3k it sounds a bit too good to be true. It might need more work than you’re ready for at that level and it might just cause unnecessary stress especially if you’re going into college.
@@markroden just to let you know the 2g eclipse did not have a GT trim it had the RS GS GS-T and GSX trim levels but I think you were thinking of the 3 rd and 4th gen eclipse because they had the GT trim
1997-2001 Toyota Camry LE is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. My parents owned one and they said it was a really good choice to get as a first car. I was also pretty surprised at how much aftermarket support these cars got. Plus you can stand out in the car community cause there's bodykits for these cars I haven't seen anyone on the internet apply yet.
@@oklo0315 stock 2.2L 4-cylinder engine delivering 133 HP, 23 city/30 highway. I heard you can put a V6 in the Camry. You can also put a 2JZ in it I heard but you gotta make the Camry RWD (to take pressure off the FWD drivetrain) Idk if you can K-Swap a Camry but I gotta do more research on Camry mods
the 92-96 V6 camrys or lexus ES300s with the 3vz-fe have pretty solid engines for power too. base 185hp and a DOHC engine with an iron block. Problem is after 300-350hp it has issues not spinning the tires.
The honda fit is a really fun car and has potential to make good power; however, it is no longer in the $3k range. They have been getting too much light which is raising the prices of them.
Honestly, have a good personality and be able to multitask, serving tables at a busy restaurant . Good for a 5pm-10pm shift, can walk home with 150-300 bucks a shift if you’re good
Bro, miatas in europe are definitely not under 3k anymore, unless its a complete rustbox. If you want a decent one it'll cost up to 6k euros or more. Decent second gen ones are around 4k
I feel like many of the cars in the video are actually more expensive in Europe (in my case germany) than in the vid, especially if you want it to be in decent condition. I really like the Mitsubishi Eclipse 2g even though I will probably never own one and all the ones that I saw online for less than 3000€ (3k$ actually equals around 2700€) were toasted/preowned by 8 people/etc. Most of them were in the 6000-10000€ range actually.
So a few things about the 2G Eclipse: 1) they never came in a “GT” trim. The 1st and 2nd gen DSM’s went by RS, GS (slightly nicer NA FWD), GS-T for FWD turbo, and GSX for AWD turbo. 2)The 420A in the NA Eclipse is NOWHERE NEAR as good as the 4g63 in the turbo Eclipses. You’re comparing a Dodge Neon engine to the Lancer Evo engine, lol. We all know 4G63’s are capable of 1000hp+, while the 420A would be lucky to hit 250hp without blowing up. A great car still, but not in the same ballpark. 3) I would absolutely NOT recommend a 2G DSM this far on for less than $3k. I can guarantee any you find now for that price will be clapped beyond redemption. I sold my 2G GS for $4k, and that was back in 2020. I would spend a minimum of $4.5k for a clean NA and no less than around $8-10k for a GS-T and $12k+ for a clean GSX these days, at least if you want to drive it more than work on it.
Great list! I own a pass-me-down 2010 Toyota Corolla Altis since high school from my dad (since 2016) and still drive it to this day (I'm 24 now 😅) and already reaching 380k km (236k miles). No crazy issues for now. Only normal issue is the noisy fan belt.
I really like your videos but when you said “you’re an idiot scion is a Toyota” I had to comment. I’m an actual tech and the turbo cruze is one of the most unreliable cars you can buy. GM turbos are extremely cheap and fail all the time once the car nears 100k miles. The turbo shaft is very cheap which gives it a lot of play resulting in bent turbo propellors and your turbo housing walls will have scuffing and damage from this. The propellers also crack which just leads to worse damage. If you would’ve done some Research and if you’re able to use a manual service software like ALLDATA or Mitchell ProDeman then you will see the super overly long list of TSB’s for this car. These are not a great first option you’ll deal with turbo issues which will cost $700+ to repair and any other damage caused by the broke pieces. Not only that they also tend to have start up and ignition system issues nearing once near 100k miles as well. A bunch come into yo shop the water pumps also tend to give out while driving and causes overheating issues. Don’t think high school kinds have enough money for these fixes which will happen over and over again once new parts are used unless you’ve gone after market
Oh man I’m sorry to hear that. I could definitely afford to do some more research on cars in the future so I’m sorry for misleading people. I’ll heart this comment tho so hopefully ppl can see it
@@markroden like I said I love your videos man I don’t mean any harm or I don’t want to seem like I’m talking down because I’m Not at all and that’s not what im trying to do at all so sorry if it came off that way but just wanted to put my input that’s all. Keep up the great work man been subscribed for a while now.
i got an 88 celica gt which has the economy engine instead of the one the rest of the celicas have which means its a reliable tank, its a little slow with a ten second 0-60, but i also got it for 400$ and its amazingly clean inside, no dash cracks and just amazing condition and o got it for 400$ RUNNING
i have an 05 toyota echo for a first car and it’s honestly great it’s just a honda fit in a different body (1.5L I4 108hp with relatively similar weight) there isn’t much after market support tho which kinda sucks cuz it’s a little go cart and it handles really well.
I have a 7th gen accord and I cannot reccomend it enough!!! They're nice on the inside because they're not meant to be sporty but they also come with a K24 in it which is an amazing motor, not to mention that i think that they can look really good for not a lot of money which would be very important to a high schooler!
yo mark bbg you have single-handedly helped me shape a taste in cars and help me with choosing my future project cars, love ya (with a fire passionate desire btw)
6:10 the del sol actually came in 3 different trims S 100hp Si 125hp VTEC 160hp Only weighing 2,300ib The Si is more common than the S and are priced the same

As my name obviously says I am very happy that the Celica was mentioned, only thing is the Celica is not very good on mods because of it's kinda underatedness so don't go out there and expect a non-expesive RWD transmission swap
@@markroden yeah honestly I'd say start young and find any (legal) way to get money. Im fortunate because my dad has a successful business and is generous by letting me work but anything can be sold if it's to the right person. Like they say, "one man's trash is another man's treasure".
Good job man. That's the way to do it. I'm 17 and already have went through a fair share of cars, one peice of advice I'd give you is spend the extra little bit on a car in better condition, no matter how much you said you'd rather get a cheap car and fix it. It usually ends up being a ton more issues. Some deals are worth it but most cheap cars have other issues they aren't saying
@@classified3171 yeah I get what your saying. I probably am gonna save up for one thats 7-9 grand just because anything below that is a salvage or automatic(which isn't bad but I want more of a learning curve since I've already driven auto before)
@@classified3171 finally got a Foxbody, It's pretty nice and I got it for 11k. Decent condition with a few issues here and there that should be able to be fixed but the interior is really clean and the exterior looks nice!
this list would maybe be true like five years ago most of these cars have been stupid expensive for like almost a year. not even done with the video yet but the celica, del sol, and MIATA would be hard to find under like 8k
It seems you dont know much about cars. "Turbocharged cars is more reliable" nope, straight up wrong, its the other way around. The older generation of Toyota Celica before 2000 was good but 2000-2003 had alot of problems including oil problems making the motor die out around 113k miles. On that you said "It comes with a 1.8L with 170hp" sorry mate but it seems you havnt done your research since it comes with 143, 182 or 192......yeah nah you gotta stop yapping about stuff you dont know. The VW Jetta has tons of problems too, one specific model from a certain year is good but the one u showed is not lol. Every 20-30k miles the water pump gotta be changed. And the 2.5 has thin and fragile. If you push it too hard it will blow on you. Through the long list of all the best volvo's you go with the 240.... still reliable compared to OTHER Brands but to s60 or v70 not close.. Audi A4.... you heard about Oil consumption problems? Classic Audi problems, yeah nice one mate you found a car that will cost more to maintain/repair than to buy throughout the first year. bmw 328i, generally alot bmw is the opposite of "Reliable" the 500 series is fairly reliable but the 300 series....nah wrong pick pal... again again. max 100k - 150k miles out of those if lucky The point your putting a "BMW 328i e46" before Honda Civic is just enough to tell you know sh#t about cars its actually insane.. Do your research mate.
J series accords and TLs are good first cars too. My j30a1 02 accord is a fun car to drive the downside is the trans that’s about it really. You can get a h series too. Plan on getting a cd5 h22. Honda are good cars. Toyotas are too. V6 Chrysler 300 with the 3.5 good cars too. Had a v6 Chrysler 300 as my first car lasted me 4 years. But there good cars though. But this is a good list fr.
My first car was W211 220D estate. My experience is terrible when it comes to reliability as I bought it broken I didn’t knew but found out later. Lovely car. The ass is ugly as shit but the face is a bomb. I watch it everyday and love it. I go into corners with 60-80kph and it’s good. It’s a ship tho and it is not so maneuverable like the 190. Still the most comfortable car I’ve ever driven.
Back in 2008 I bought a showroom quality 95 240sx for 5k with 132,000. I could of bought a s13 with same quality and miles for 3k. Both of these cars probably won't make your 10k list because of how much they're selling for these days.
I got a 2002 Ford explorer XLT 4.6L V8 handed down to me from my dad. It's not the best if I were to have spent money on it, but for free, it's fucking awesome. 240hp is still more than all my friends lol
This is so crazy to me, i live in ireland and u have a 6L v8 cadilac on the list bro how tr do you get insurance on something like that?! Here u need like 20 years driving experience and have zero claims just to even get an insurance quote for something like that and even then its gunna be like €4000 a year 😂 same thing for even like 2.5L engine. As a new driver here if ur car isnt like a 1.0L yaris you wont even get insured on it and the minimum would be like 2000€ p.a Like im so jealous u guys have super cheap fuel prices and sooo much less restrictions on engine sizes emissions etc. here also if your car is older than 15 years its hard to get insurance. So ur pretty much forced to get a new shitty 1.4L max car or be absolutely violated by road tax and insurance and petrol prices 😢
Damn bro that Lexus with a 4.0L engine i would be paying 300€ a month for my basic car insurance xD. I envy americans, you guys can drive whatever car you want, here in EU we get some nasty taxes if the car is old and if it has a big engine. EX: For my honda civic 1.8 petrol and 141hp im paying 150€ per month, but the cost will go down eventually when i'll be 24 and i'll be getting out of the risk class 😅 EDIT: Sux even more if you love old cars because there is an old-timer extra tax if you use your "old-timer" as a daily drive because you don't have a newer car model as a daily. We get really punshed here for the climate damage cars do, the bigger the engine the more tax you pay for polution :d
I want the Toyota Soarer/Lexus it's by far cheap but not cheap when yoy wanna ship it for 5-6k to Canada/Edmonton. Japanese selling them for 2-5k which I would die for but I'm no wear near one which I'd have to spend 9k or 10k just to have the car at my face on the drive way but still 10k ain't bad for a sexy car
Blood I’ll be honest I’m just looking at videos like these to find a good car to get after I seek my crappy 2004 Hyundai sonata that sounds like it will die any day now😂😅
do not buy an Acura TL as a high schooler, especially if you don't have the money to maintain it, gas mileage sucks ass, around about 16 in the city and 26 on the highway and premium gas on top of that, hard to work on everything on that car is made impossible to fix, and parts are expensive. they are fun but not a high schooler car
This is what I don’t understand people who make list like this which just makes no sense you’re showing a bunch of euro cars for three grand any of those cars are you give me three grand I’m going to be shit you’re not going to be able to drive them you’re going to be in the shop more than I can so this this is just trash. You put BMWs ahead of Honda or even Miata and they’re more reliable and more realistic for you to be able to get one of those cars to that price, but we can actually drive all those Beamers all those out you just submitted on the list is trash because if you get those cars for 3K more than likely something really bad wrong with them so why put them on the list you can always put a Mercedes or over expensive car for under three grand it’s gonna be shit why not making list of cars they can actually under three grand
My first video ever from this guy don't know nothing about him but I see that Terrible Towel where is he from is he live in steeler country?? South west PA.??
Bro laughed insurance I'm the face if you had a car with 200hp you would be absolutely broke if it was your first car 😂 I live I uk I think it's different in the states

13 and already have 1k saved up. Hoping to get a Aero-Nose Foxbody Mustang and then eventually be able to save up for an LS400.
That’s the way to do it bro congrats
@@markroden yeah honestly I'd say start young and find any (legal) way to get money. Im fortunate because my dad has a successful business and is generous by letting me work but anything can be sold if it's to the right person. Like they say, "one man's trash is another man's treasure".
Good job man. That's the way to do it. I'm 17 and already have went through a fair share of cars, one peice of advice I'd give you is spend the extra little bit on a car in better condition, no matter how much you said you'd rather get a cheap car and fix it. It usually ends up being a ton more issues. Some deals are worth it but most cheap cars have other issues they aren't saying
@@classified3171 yeah I get what your saying. I probably am gonna save up for one thats 7-9 grand just because anything below that is a salvage or automatic(which isn't bad but I want more of a learning curve since I've already driven auto before)
@@classified3171 finally got a Foxbody, It's pretty nice and I got it for 11k. Decent condition with a few issues here and there that should be able to be fixed but the interior is really clean and the exterior looks nice!
What about 6th gen celica from around 1998?
Pls add timestamps but great video tho
I'm from Michigan so i need an awd car. Bad part is this thing is gonna be used during the winter too which is gonna suck
You know what’s crazy, the Scion TC has a curb weight of 3,100 lbs with 160 HP, my DE5 Integra has curb weight of 3,200 lbs with 325 HP
this list would maybe be true like five years ago most of these cars have been stupid expensive for like almost a year. not even done with the video yet but the celica, del sol, and MIATA would be hard to find under like 8k
It seems you dont know much about cars.
"Turbocharged cars is more reliable" nope, straight up wrong, its the other way around.
The older generation of Toyota Celica before 2000 was good but 2000-2003 had alot of problems including oil problems making the motor die out around 113k miles. On that you said "It comes with a 1.8L with 170hp" sorry mate but it seems you havnt done your research since it comes with 143, 182 or 192......yeah nah you gotta stop yapping about stuff you dont know.
The VW Jetta has tons of problems too, one specific model from a certain year is good but the one u showed is not lol. Every 20-30k miles the water pump gotta be changed. And the 2.5 has thin and fragile. If you push it too hard it will blow on you.
Through the long list of all the best volvo's you go with the 240.... still reliable compared to OTHER Brands but to s60 or v70 not close..
Audi A4.... you heard about Oil consumption problems? Classic Audi problems, yeah nice one mate you found a car that will cost more to maintain/repair than to buy throughout the first year.
bmw 328i, generally alot bmw is the opposite of "Reliable" the 500 series is fairly reliable but the 300 series....nah wrong pick pal... again again. max 100k - 150k miles out of those if lucky
The point your putting a "BMW 328i e46" before Honda Civic is just enough to tell you know sh#t about cars its actually insane..
Do your research mate.
What website do you use?
i want to know too lol
Thank you for adding the celica GT to this, i own one they are sweet with a manual, i hear the automatics are garbage.
Ofc they are quite underrated
Curious question, you guys have Alfa Romeo in the US? I dont think I have ever seen one lol
J series accords and TLs are good first cars too. My j30a1 02 accord is a fun car to drive the downside is the trans that’s about it really. You can get a h series too. Plan on getting a cd5 h22. Honda are good cars. Toyotas are too. V6 Chrysler 300 with the 3.5 good cars too. Had a v6 Chrysler 300 as my first car lasted me 4 years. But there good cars though. But this is a good list fr.
“For high school car guys” Now you have my attention
75% of this list is a lie, most of those cars are not under 3k and if they are they need more that 6k worth of parts to get them running
My first car was W211 220D estate. My experience is terrible when it comes to reliability as I bought it broken I didn’t knew but found out later. Lovely car. The ass is ugly as shit but the face is a bomb. I watch it everyday and love it. I go into corners with 60-80kph and it’s good. It’s a ship tho and it is not so maneuverable like the 190. Still the most comfortable car I’ve ever driven.
Back in 2008 I bought a showroom quality 95 240sx for 5k with 132,000. I could of bought a s13 with same quality and miles for 3k. Both of these cars probably won't make your 10k list because of how much they're selling for these days.
I got a 2002 Ford explorer XLT 4.6L V8 handed down to me from my dad. It's not the best if I were to have spent money on it, but for free, it's fucking awesome. 240hp is still more than all my friends lol
If you can score a 1998 Camaro Z-28 manual, then I would do it. 330 horsepower and 0-60 in less than 6 seconds
This is so crazy to me, i live in ireland and u have a 6L v8 cadilac on the list bro how tr do you get insurance on something like that?! Here u need like 20 years driving experience and have zero claims just to even get an insurance quote for something like that and even then its gunna be like €4000 a year 😂 same thing for even like 2.5L engine. As a new driver here if ur car isnt like a 1.0L yaris you wont even get insured on it and the minimum would be like 2000€ p.a
Like im so jealous u guys have super cheap fuel prices and sooo much less restrictions on engine sizes emissions etc. here also if your car is older than 15 years its hard to get insurance. So ur pretty much forced to get a new shitty 1.4L max car or be absolutely violated by road tax and insurance and petrol prices 😢
Damn bro that Lexus with a 4.0L engine i would be paying 300€ a month for my basic car insurance xD. I envy americans, you guys can drive whatever car you want, here in EU we get some nasty taxes if the car is old and if it has a big engine. EX: For my honda civic 1.8 petrol and 141hp im paying 150€ per month, but the cost will go down eventually when i'll be 24 and i'll be getting out of the risk class 😅
EDIT: Sux even more if you love old cars because there is an old-timer extra tax if you use your "old-timer" as a daily drive because you don't have a newer car model as a daily. We get really punshed here for the climate damage cars do, the bigger the engine the more tax you pay for polution :d
why aren't we putting the impreza in here? i'm confused. the 90s mean eyes look so fucking good, and the ej22 is a beastly piece of shit.
I want the Toyota Soarer/Lexus it's by far cheap but not cheap when yoy wanna ship it for 5-6k to Canada/Edmonton. Japanese selling them for 2-5k which I would die for but I'm no wear near one which I'd have to spend 9k or 10k just to have the car at my face on the drive way but still 10k ain't bad for a sexy car
im gonna be honest... integras are 15k in germany, and thats the lowest priced one i could find, but i also like the 6. gen civic :)
Why not go with the Audi a4 b5 quattro, it has a 2.8l v6, awd, and you can get them for around $1,500
Blood I’ll be honest I’m just looking at videos like these to find a good car to get after I seek my crappy 2004 Hyundai sonata that sounds like it will die any day now😂😅
Is thus fucking skyrim music
do not buy an Acura TL as a high schooler, especially if you don't have the money to maintain it, gas mileage sucks ass, around about 16 in the city and 26 on the highway and premium gas on top of that, hard to work on everything on that car is made impossible to fix, and parts are expensive. they are fun but not a high schooler car
I have an integra and a 05 scion tc both great cars I had a 01 gs 300 but sold it due to having no money for insurance 😭 also gas prices are crazy
is the integra a good daily? i want something that looks clean idc if it’s fast. i got an 07 accord i might sell for another car what do u recommend?
This is what I don’t understand people who make list like this which just makes no sense you’re showing a bunch of euro cars for three grand any of those cars are you give me three grand I’m going to be shit you’re not going to be able to drive them you’re going to be in the shop more than I can so this this is just trash. You put BMWs ahead of Honda or even Miata and they’re more reliable and more realistic for you to be able to get one of those cars to that price, but we can actually drive all those Beamers all those out you just submitted on the list is trash because if you get those cars for 3K more than likely something really bad wrong with them so why put them on the list you can always put a Mercedes or over expensive car for under three grand it’s gonna be shit why not making list of cars they can actually under three grand
My first video ever from this guy don't know nothing about him but I see that Terrible Towel where is he from is he live in steeler country?? South west PA.??
Christ. In Ireland nearly everyone's first car is either a Ford fiesta, opel corsa or a Fiat punto, all 1.2 petrol
Bro laughed insurance I'm the face if you had a car with 200hp you would be absolutely broke if it was your first car 😂 I live I uk I think it's different in the states
VW GTI MK4 loool. Worst handling ever :D Compare it with Celica for the same price....
Honda civic 2007-2010 an Toyo Camry 97-2003 /2007-2011 upon Honda fit…an many more
hey guys I'm new to cars, just asking if I can change those FWL or other Wheel Drives to a Rear Wheel Drive?
i’m a high schooler and i got my first car yesterday 7,900$ 2016 ford focus turbo eco boost
Got a deal on a Honda fit (2008) for 2000$ cad with 156k miles on it all stock works great for going to school
I'm in Africa and you can't find a car cheapest than 4.5K here 😔
love the skyrim music
FINALLY my time to shine 😎
Yessir lmaooo
I love the acura integra, unfortunately I costs 25k + where I live :(
