I just bought a MY2000 s2k that is prestine. I was going to use this as my daily driver but it may be wise to get another car for everyday commuting and winter snow driving.

It would help me preserve the new condition of my 5 yr old S2k and also give me some added convenience.

my budget is 10k and i was looking into the 1999 Audi a4 1.8t wagon with awd.

The price range is 7-11k.

What do you guys think? Any other suggestions for a car? I prefer a wagon/suv style. No V8. other runner up was a Honda CRV (recent shape) but its out of my range.

Here is an so so civic i found

Its either that or pay $1500 cash for a 1991 Civic LX 4 door?

But those are hard to find in good shape.

Why such bipolar choices? The 1991 civic is not safe, may be ragged out, and is dirt cheap. The Audi is nice, and expensive to maintain, relatively expensive to buy. Why aren't u looking a a 1998 civic or a corolla?

btw, this should be in Cartalk.

This confuses me...

You have the S, you want a decent beater. Buy a 5-7 yr old Subaru Impreza or Legacy wagon. AWD, air bags, and good reliability.

I agree with Saki, you can get a 4-5 year old Impreza (2.5RS if you're lucky) for that price. It'll last longer than the Audi.

I guess i wouldnt need AWD all yr round. I think the 99 civic si would be a great pickup. I think i will wait for the new highly anticipated Civics come out this fall. then look for a 99 si on the cheap.

That's what you have the S for, right?
