do you think getting a car from the late 80s is a stupid mistake for a first car? still have thoughts of a prelude or similar in the back of my mind, to play around w/ before I get something nicer and newer.


what cars if any are good cars to work on/learn from/drive to school from the late 80s


thanks

 

AE86 h: Toyota Corolla (1986). It'd be fun.

or you can get a supra. They're fun too. However, save up some $$ and get a newer and reliable car (generally newer) so you'll be worry free.

 

Nothing bad about it.

 

my first car was a 1987 Toyota Celica GT

 

late 80's rocked for japanese cars.

 

Not bad IF you can find one that doesn't have a lot of miles and doesn't need a lot.

Honestly if you want to learn how to work on a car your best bet is a second car, since if you can't get to work/school you're basically screwed.

 

how bout a early 90s honda

 

yea, first car i drove is a 88 auto camry.

best beginner's car, small, sits tall, no power, auto, everything is simple. plus, if you put a couople dings or crash it...the car only cost a few hundred.

 

as long as you know how to 'feel' for the car. ie. know when somethings is about to break, and make sure to keep the fluids up

 

I'd suggest early 90's Japanese cars.

But 80's aren't a bad choice.

Just be sure to check the history of it.
