Help with Used Car
Hey, Im not sure what car to get, I was hoping for a 2004 Mazda 3, but its gonna cost me too much. They quoted $400/month.
My options are 2000 Civic, 2000 1.6EL, or 2000 Jetta.
First of all, which one of these cars have the best insurance rate, and if i were to pick a Jetta, does any one know which year has the least problems.
Thanks.
Any other car suggestion will be appreaciated too. Im looking for a tuner car, something I can soup up. I know every car can be modified, but im talking about the popular ones.

Civic is going to be expensive for insurance. My buddy got quoted 600 a month for a 91 Civic and he only paid 1200 for the car. What does he do with the car? He's left it in his garage and does not drive it.

I am 22 years old and I am the first driver on my current 2007 chrysler seabring and I have 1 at fault accident and 1 minor conviction. my current insurance is only $245 a year. i just obtained my G license.
My previous car was a brand new mazda6 and I got into an accident with that and than my insurance was $290 with a clean record and only a G2 and a 20 year old driver. My insurer than was TD meloche Monnex
My current insurer is desjardins and it took me A LOT OF SEARCHING.
key thing is to search hard for a lot of insurance companies and you will get a competitive quote. If you only need 3rd party, it will be cheaper. however both my insurance were for full coverage

Maybe he meant per month? That'd be more likely

First off, if you want a tuner car then you're going to be paying $$$ into the car and you won't see any return, hope you realize that. If you are dead set on the cars listed, I'd start off with a 2000 SIR, build the suspension, get a nice set of tires/wheels,I/H/E and build up the internals of the motor.
The EL is just a civic with some extra features sporting a Y8 under hood, a nice daily driver if you left it alone. The dub, I wouldn't touch based on the experience my bud and his brother had with theirs. I liked them but they had nothing problems with them.
Whatever you do, setup a budget on how much realistically you can afford and work based on that.
