What kind of car should i get? - 2

I'm want a manual rwd car with a lot of horsepower. (Under 5k budget) i was thinking 96-99 bmw m3 or 2004 mustang but my uncle says mustangs aren't good cars

Mustang.

You uncle does not know what he is talking about. By all means do not buy a 1997 or 1998 BMW M3. A general problem with the 1997 & 1998 model vehicles is the Intake Air System. The system leaks and can result in poor running of the engine and/or Malfunction Indicator Illumination. An occasional problem on this vehicle is the failure of the Motronic Control Unit. Failure of the Motronic Control Unit is due to water intrusion. The failures of the Intake Air System are not specific to any one part, so the $ cost of repairs will vary. The cost to repair the Motronic Control Unit is estimated at $1075.00 for parts and $26.00 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65.00 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax. Other than that they are fairly reliable but expensive to repair if something does go wrong. A 2004 Ford Mustang is very reliable with no significant problems in any areas. Get the Mustang and leave the BMW M3 to people who have the money to repair them.

  • What kind of coolant should I use? 1987 Ford Econoline E-250 conversion van. I live in Florida and it easily gets over 100 degrees F in summer. I have never done a coolant flush/change, but it seems pretty easy. What coolant would be best to use on this vehicle? BTW: I this van has not been driven in years, so everything needs to be changed.
  • What kind of car should I get? How much will it cost? I want a convertible and a truck. Don't go telling me that's too expensive because I just want to get a price range and opinions at this point. Convertible: Used or new. Red, white, silver, black, dark blue. TOYOTA, HONDA. Truck: Used or new. Sliver, red, black. TOYOTA, HONDA, CHEVY, RAM, FORD. Which is best? What are the costs on all of these BRANDS?
  • What kind of police officers get to drive the newer marked vehicles? Like a Dodge Charger, Ford Taurus, and Chevy Tahoe? The newer and nicer vehicles. Do you have to be a certain rank? Or in a certain division?
  • What kind of car should I buy? With a budget of about 2,500 for my first car, I'm deciding between a 2002 Mazda Protege with about 150,000 miles, a 2004 Suzuki Forenze with about 135,000 miles, a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with about 140,000 miles, a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer with about 160,000 miles and a 2001 Ford Taurus with about 130,000 miles. I want a car that is fuel efficient yet stylish, so please leave any suggestions from the cars listed above.
