I was thinking about it but it was a little over priced from what I saw on Autotrader.

If it absolutley has to be an auto, my wife has a 94 Jetta CL 1.8l 8v auto with air. Not a bad car, but get up and go is not the best. On the highway, though, pretty nice ride.

See I know I should not have said anything. Im not trying to offen you there is a ssei on there 1 year newer then yours for $1000 and for $1200 more your into a 96. Im not trying to be an ***. Hell I bought my Intrepid for $6000 two years ago. Cause it had 90,000km on it. Now it has 120,000km on it and autotrader says I should see around $3000-3500 but I think in reality I will see $2500-2800 to be honest. Im not disin your ride dude. By any means. Please dont take it that way. And I also dont know if I want to go from a 96 to a 92.

You also have to take in the fact they may be cheaper but they also will have way more k than mine. Did you notice on those two cars that you are talking about they left out how many k they have?? when they leave out the kilometers it means its normally pretty high. There is zero wrong with my car I am only selling because I have 4 other cars. I wasn't offended at all just trying to give you some idea's, Good luck with your search

in that price range and out of all these cars i would go for a 92-93 accord or
the g2 tegra gsr there is many of for that price range out there so finding one in good shape wouldn't be hard.

I'm going to agree with 2toneGt. A 4 door honda civic or accord seems like your best bet.

It's absolutely unreasonable to expect a sporty, family car, with automatic transmission that you find "fun" - under $2000.

You're going to have to sacrifice what you want - the sporty, fun, component for what you apparently need - a family car that your wife can drive too.

for that price range you could get a third gen camaro/trans am, or a fox body mustang. even tho they'd be autos, with a V8 they'd still be fun.

You can usually get talons for $2g's. Fun package is that the auto's use a cave man style triptronic.You'll be switching gears by shifting from 1 to 2 for each gear

1>1 2>2 1>3 2>4.

Or find an old suburaru legacy...awd is always fun.
