Trying to decide on a car to buy?

Basically I'm 17 and my 98 Ford expedition's time is up I just want to know what kind of cars you guys think I should be looking at for around 5000$. Maybe an old corvette or a mustang?

(E39) BMW 540i 4.4L V8 / 6speed

I see them on Craigslist for $4,500-$6,000
It's a fast and sweet looking car. Alarm, remote entry, cruise control, leather, power everything! Maintenance is expensive, so make sure the previous owner has paperwork and watch out for Head and Valve cover leaks.

What country you live in?

In USA, either car will cost you nearly 4000$yrly insurance

Hi dream on boy the corvette and the mustang are the most sort after two models in the united states.

Basically, it's your decision.

  • Purchasing a vehicle, but can't decide? I'll be paying off my current car soon, and will be giving it to my fiancée (she has no vehicle) I can't decide on a 2008-2011 Ford ranger which will be around 10k with 40-100k miles Or a 2014 f150 tremor (25k-29k) for 20k-68k miles on them Which would you choose? Please pretend it was with your money and take It into calculatation, but also which one you'll want (it'll really help me)
  • I'm trying to distinguish the make of my car? I have what I believe to be a 1970 ford falcon. As I was looking it over I've discovered a fair lane sticker in the glove box, as well as it has dual headlights in the front end, also a fair lane thing but has falcon badges. It's also a four door which I can't seem to find anything about.
  • I want to buy a car but make a measly amount of money (how can I buy one)? I have a 2001 Ford Focus with a little over 170,000 miles on it. It's not really running that well. I will try to keep it up with oil changes, tune ups, etc. But if I sell it, how much trade in value will it have? How much will I need to get a cheap car? I only make under 400 dollars every two weeks because I have a part time job so I barely have any money.
