My PT Cruiser GT, still own it and drive it as a weekend car. I don't use it as a daily driver anymore, Bulgarian roads are not very good to it. 160,000 km on it and everything still works.

Really cool, this car was madly popular in ex-Yugoslavia! Bit different model though, I see this is LatAm specific. I like it's line, it's a great car for customization! Here it was called Golf 1 and later 2.

My first car was Daewoo Matiz (now Chevrolet) from 1998, I still have it today. We brought it from my mother's hairdresser for little more than 1000 EUR.

Amazing little car, still works as a baby and it's very narrow so you can park it everywhere which is very important in my city which has nightmare traffic and chronic lack of space.

I was afraid to use it as first because gearbox is pretty rough and unsophisticated compared to modern cars but now it's a pleasure to drive it! :thumbsup:

A shot to sh*t, yellow, 1981 Toyota Corolla. The odometer stopped working at 160,000 miles or so, who knows how many miles it really had. I bought it for about $1200, which I had saved up from working a summer job.

I broke down numerous times in that car, and one of it's quirks was that the back floor would flood when driving it in heavy rain, never could figure out how water was getting in. Still, I learned to change my own oil, tires, and other basic stuff on that baby, learned a lot about cars in general.

*Edit: I think that my Corolla was an '83 or '84 model year actually.. my girlfriend at the time had a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit - I think I mixed up the years.

The model was made and designed at Volkswagen do Brazil. Gol was inspired from golf certainly

Yes

Ford Fiesta

https://pitstopbrasil.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/novo_fiesta_02.jpg

Was purchased from a family member <50,000 KM (31, 000 m) currently 70,000 km. It was paid 15% less than its list price (the car dealership would pay less if person give the car to pay a new car).

Is biofuel alcohol or gasoline, I only use alcohol...

The Chrysler Fifth Avenue was a trim level/option package or model name used by Chrysler for its larger sedans from 1979 to 1993. The Fifth Avenue name was no longer used after 1993 when Chrysler introduced its new LH-platform New Yorker and similar LHS. The title "Fifth Avenue" references a street in New York City in the United States which contains many upscale shops and cultural attractions.

I had only once a car of my own, that was when I worked and I needed it to go to work. After I stopped working I sold it. I dont remember what it was but it was red, and small.

XD Ford Falcon Panel van
This model was my first car , it was a long time ago.
In Australia the slang term for these cars was "Shaggin Wagons".

It seems that it is everyone's destiny to drive a Corolla at least once in their life.

1994 BMW 525i E34 (not my car in the photo, but pretty close to how mine looks)

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e9/7b/6d/e97b6d1ba0a7a69abdf54f95f965c707.jpg

Also my first car, got it for €4,000, but have spent upwards of €1,000 on parts (would have cost me even more if I didn't do all the work myself). You gotta be handy with tools and fixing simple stuff because otherwise any E34/Bimmer or import will be expensive as fuck to keep running in reliable condition. The m50b25 engine is robust as hell btw, I just gotta keep the cooling system up to date and she'll love me forever ;)

^^^ Just kidding. That's a line from a song that struck me as funny.

My first car was an old, piece of crap Toyota Carolla. I'm not sure what year it was, I think maybe it was an '83. The odometer had stopped working at about 150,000 miles so I don't even know what the real mileage was.

Škoda Oktavia 1.9tdi best starter car imo in Europe for young autists. The car doesn't even need repairs and the engine has one of longest life spans you can think off. It's a legendary car in CZ/SK

I have been driving differest versions of Civic ever since but I still miss the chaotic acceleration of this bae, it made me hit a wall eventually but it was a fun experience.

It is indeed profitable to buy a used car. It has a lot of advantages. Especially since public online auctions https://sca.auction/en/locations/branch-fl-orlando-732 always ask for a low price. And the choice of current offers is quite decent.
