What would be a good car for a budget of $7K and how many miles should I expect it to have?

I am looking for opinions so tell me your preferred make model and how many miles you think is too many and how many is reasonable


Answer
First is first. Nothing over 110,000 miles unless there has been a tune up or some major work done on it.

For $7000, milage really depends on the year of the car and the type of vehiacle.
Cars from japan(including luxury, entry level, SUV) 30-150k
Cars from Germany/other European brands(Volvo, Saab, etc) 60-110k
Cars from American 40-80k

These include luxury cars, so meaning that it would have higher milage if it's a more expensive car and lower milage if it's more of a entry level car.

Cars from Toyota would be under 140k
Honda under 130k
Chevrolet under 100k
MB under 70k
BMW under 70k

I've seen some 2006 Honda civics that go for about $6000 with around 50,000 miles on craigslist. Also there are plenty of good condition BMW 3-series around me going for about $6000 that range from 1999-2003.

Im looking at a 2000 Audi S4 or A4 1.8t(16 lbs boost), any recommendations or dissatisfaction with these cars?

Q. I'm really searching for a luxury car with a turbo, and these two have caught my eye. Has anyone had one? Recommend or thumbs down for them? Or any other cars you'd recommend under 7k? Thanks


Answer
S4 is a pretty good deal, though the stock shifter is a bit inprecise. Nothing a bit of modding can't cure though:)

I'd stay away from the A4, looking from a modding point of view, the S4 is a much stronger platform to start with.

I know its not luxury, but a car definatly worth looking into would be a '98 mitsubishi eclipse gs-t or a galant vr4, which is sort of the prequel to the evo series. Galant still has that 4 cyl turbo charged engine though, also perfect modding platform. Sorry im sort of a mitsu fan!

Hope this helped!
