I am looking for same deal. $5k, pretty much anything that is Japanese. Needs to be low maintenance. Friend has no repair funds to speak of.

If the Toyota is still there, let me otherwise. Otherwise, bump for new candidates!

944's are fun

I continue to be a believer in the Ford Focus. Here's a link from Car.com of Foci available in the area for under $5K.

I have gotten the same advice for some other car guys! Interesting. I will look.

Thanks for the help, advice and offers. But, we've (finally) found a car -- an '03 Pontiac Grand Prix (aka "the barge"). Not the fanciest thing around, but reasonably solid and works fine for hauling the kids around.

So, we can close this thread, unless brianr needs/wants more help.
