I know nothing about cars.....

hmm...for $600 budget I think you'd be getting more trouble than the car would be worth.

This is the only decent thing I found and its not the prettiest thing:

I think if you want a decent used car and you're not overly picky on looks, you'd be looking at maybe around $5000.

And you'd want to aim for a 4 door car since sport coupes cost a LOT more for insurance.

If you can up your budget in the next couple months, just look around you at older cars and see if theres anything you like. It makes the search a lot easier since you can't really compare a Toyota to a Chevy. Also what I find helps a lot if you are looking for a much older vehicle is...see whats on the road, that will give you an indication of reliability. Once you know what you generally like you can zone in on it and hunt down a good deal.

Oh you should ask Lisa! I picked her brain when I was buying my car. She probably knows a lot of people who may be selling their older vehicles.

Can you drive stick? You could MAYBE squeeze another 100K Km out of this guy
