I don't know whether 4K is a hard limit and I don't know what kind of negotiation you could do, but this would be a decent choice: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...4847/overview/ Or, hey, a ZHP: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...2876/overview/ But this Scion might be a really good catch--it's a stick! https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...8497/overview/ Last edited by JST; 01-17-2020 at 04:13 PM. |

Or this Scion coupe, if you want an auto:

Yeah, you're not wrong about that. Would be a bold play but might be better overall than some random shitbox from a buy-here/pay-here lot.

Maybe it's time for John to give up his Mazda3...

My friend has an E92 and has had quite a bit of problems with the car, meanwhile physically it is absolutely beautiful both inside and out ... you would think it is a perfect car. |

A friend and I are also kinda sorta looking for a well maintained and stock stick ZHP. A classing change for last year makes it worth giving a shot and if it doesn't work, it's a high quality, low cost daily driver that should work for a long time. But, for my kids, the $4k limit is pretty much a hard cap (more accurately, $4.5k all in with inspection, repairs, tags, fees, etc). Also, four doors is nearly a 100% requirement. Appreciate all the thoughts and links. Keep 'em coming!
