Vehicle choices for $5,000

Ok, well here's the story... AGAin, i'm thinking about making a move back to the U.S. and since my funds are going to be limited cuz i'll still have to look for a job I'll be looking for a vehicle. It has to seat at least 5 people. I don't care if it's a car or suv (i just don't want a minivan)lol.

I'm just looking for suggestions at the moment... So what would be good to get with a $5000 budget?

 

Thanks Jonny. Problem is, if i move to Florida again, caddy's are an old persons car. lol

 

Jonnny, I was looking at a few cars... tell me what you think. I won't post links but just the names. I'm not too familiar with cars in the U.S. anymore. lol

Jaguar x-type
Nissan Altima
Lincoln LS
Dodge Stratus
Dodge Intrepid
Chrysler sebring

I also looked at the 4 door jimmy's, Chevy trailblazers, grand cherokee's and a few dodge durango's.

the only caddy i would want is the CTS. lol sometimes you can find them between 6 to 7 g's.

I'm trying to stick with cars that have under 100k mileage. not sure if it's okay to buy a car with over 100k on the clock.

ONe more question..... when making a deal on a used car, how much can you usually talk them down on the price?

 

i would love to get my hands on a land rover discovery but i have no idea what the maintenance would be like on them...

well, if i'm going back i'd be making a total new start with my life so i wouldn't have much of a choice but to go back to south florida, coral springs in particular. Looks like i'm going to have to live with my mom for a little bit til i get on my feet and find i job.

My trip will be kinda dual purpose really. I'm going to talk to my old friends about what i'm going to do. Two of my friends have businesses and offered me a job but I have to look into it more. One is in New York and the other is in South Florida...

 

my wife has an accord right now. the accords are cheaper here compared to the U.S. I didn't know honda's held their value that well in the U.S.

 

where in florida do you live? Yeah, you're right about the most of the jap cars. they hold their value well.

 

i didn't forget pedro... I have your number and the driving directions. see you there. what time will you be getting there? Will frankie rio be there?

I've been looking at the land rover discovery. What do you guys think of them? They're supposed to be real good but just like the jags, land rovers have no resale but it is the number 1 choice for SUV's at around $5k

 

Really? I found a few 2000-2002 Land Rover Discovery for around 5-6k. 70-80k on the clock and they look good.. I'm just wondering about the maintenance on them.
