Early 90's Toyota Carolla. Honda Civic, Original Beetle, Motorcycle. That is all I can really think of. What happened to your fathers BMW? Is he keeping it? Good luck. Sorry I can't think of any more.

1998 or newer Korean cars (when they started the 10 year warranties), Toyota Corollas, Cressidas, Camrys, etc... a lot of things could work. Really I think it comes down to what is in the best condition for the price.

I agree, I would go with a Yota.

My sisters college car was a 1980 Corolla. She bought it for a grand with 200k miles. Then racked it up to 400k miles. All she ever did was change the oil. Nary a problem

Chevy Nova (1986-1989) or a Geo Prizm. Both those cars are actually a Toyota Corolla. You'd get the Toyota reliabillity without paying for the name.

Hondas are good but you pay top dollar for a high milage car...

An older Nissan or Mazda might be another way to go.

Stick to domestics. As for 30+ mpg i dunno, but you can get a quite reliable lumina for about 2000 with 100,000 95,96,97 years

The problem with Nissans is that they are costly to own. This comes from experiance. All Japanese cars are, but Nissans especially.

Volkswagons with the diesel engine. 50 miles to the gallon according to a friend who owned a VW pickup.

the problem is he'sp soon gonna be driving 140 miles a day again, and it'll be the BMW Since he will have the truck, he wants a second car that will be his driver. I want to find a car for him(sort of quickly). There is a 93 Mitsu Mirage in the paper, underpowered but good gas milage. I'll look for those prisim's I guess.

If I can't find a car, I'll probably end up SELLING the truck if I need to to buy ME somthing.
