    Hello gentlemen

    I've been meaning to buy my husband an automatic secondhand car which will also serve as our first car (we're just a young couple, starting out).. I would like to seek your expert advice, kind sirs, on whether it would be wise to settle for a Toyota Corona considering the availability of its parts, maintenance issues, fuel efficiency, etc.. Otherwise, perhaps you could recommend other cars that we can check out? Any input would be highly appreciated.. Thank you!!!

    Sincerely,
    Clueless-about-cars-wifey

    1980?? It's too old. I recommend looking into newer models (1995 and up) How much is your budget?

    ^ it's too old, and it will just bring you headaches sonner or later, better look for younger models, toyota corolla 1995 - 2000, civic eg or ek, or nissan sentra LEC.

    How about those old classic cars like Benz and such that people had maintained and are selling for less than a hundred K? Are those also not any good in the long run?
