For any new driver out there, make sure you research the cost of maintenance and parts for these cars. the car can be less than $5000 but a single part might cost you more than $1200 to replace.
Make sure to also research the insurance. 1500 a month for young drivers
@@youngfinance6319 how do I check the insurance cost
Hell yeah! My first car had a 01 c230… load of shit but got it for 3k. If I could do it again I would have gotten a Toyota.

For those who live in Europe, Acura TSX is our Honda Accord and they came with the 2.4 engine and a manual so it's a pretty great, inexpensive car.

... Dad?
I own one with 85k miles salvage and it works perfectly fine but u getting an auto? Or manual?
Got one yesterday. It's amazing.
240hp was with supercharged models in the tC. The naturally aspirated models have around 162 hp
Thank you I was boutta go off 😅
I was too. I had to come to the comments to make sure someone corrected this.
yuppp! the supercharged is definitely ideal!
First gen supercharged model actually only had 200hp not 240.
Yes SuperCharged more reliable than a Turbo or 2
I got my 325i for $3000 flat just last month, and the owner even gave me a set of catless headers to go with it.
I absolutely love the thing.
I am about to turn 15 in 2 months I am hoping to get my first car at 16 and I love that bow looks. What year is yours? and would you recommend it for a first car?
@@xvcalebbb8001 I love the older ones, and would LOVE a 330ci (zhp hopefully) but now they're slowly getting expensive, and so are the 944s, heck, every decently depreciated car is getting more expensive
any downsides bc rn i want a bmw bc ive always loved them and im 17 and in the market for one
@@warzoneruinedcodforever8704 if anything breaks (and things will break), it's gonna be expensive.
have you had any problems with it?
Buying may not be an issue, but as a student in high school, keeping with the maintenance will be a huge problem for me🙂
yes is so expensive
As a Tesla Owner, i agree. Buying may not be that hard but the maintenance has to be often.

But the roar of the NA 3.4L engine in the 991 Carrera is like no other. I hope to own one myself someday. But for a first car, I’m really trying to get a first gen boxster!

My first car was a 2001 Subaru WRX with the 5 speed manual. It was a JDM import so it was RHD in a LHD country, great car 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a sporty car. Parts are relatively affordable and they don’t break all that often if you care for them.
I love JDM

The Scion 2010 TC was my 1st car. It was small but good car indeed. Fast, stylish, and Bose stereo system 🤤
I found a 2013 Scion TC for $5,700. With 94k miles . Just needed a fix up on the bumper from a small finder bender and water pump replaced the pulley was making noises. Even with these issues it drove very well. And now it's perfect been driving everyday nearly, since I bought it in April last year.

Man I’m a 21 year old college student who STILL doesn’t have his own car. Feel like a lot of people might be in my position where you told yourself you’d worry about a car when finishing school, but now between the oil market, inflation, and dealership markups, that’s just not a possibility 😭😭
Get a bike
Maintenance on a car is the single easiest (and most neglected) aspect of buying a car. Find someone who is car savy and try to find something with low miles. If you have no credit history, plan on doubling your deposit if you don't want to fork out for the car wholesale. Going to a dealership will drive up price, but the larger organizations (mostly) have buyers laws in place to protect you, read up on them and understand your states rights and limitations. Otherwise, get the car title and insurance transferred as soon as possible. If you have no previous diving experience, you will be paying through the nose for insurance. It sucks but everyone who has ever had a car has dealt with it.
Don't buy a brand new car unless you have the entire cash payment upfront. With depreciation, you loose a quarter to half of the resale value just driving off the lot. Truth be told (unless you're currently commuting from an area with high gas prices in a low wage job) EV's aren't the way to go unless you can guarantee moderate traffic, weather, and access to amenities. (Read up on car charging and the different limits) Likewise, EV ownership is currently tailored to those who own their own homes or who have an extremely accommodating landlord.
Thanks! I've been thinking about getting a first gen Mazda 3 sedan so...good to know you and some other car channels I came across very recently have said it's a good car to get.
5000$?!?! That’s a lot of skateboards man!

Thanks for another great list. I agree with all of your choices. Interesting fact.... although never available in Canada - as a Front-wheel drive (we only had AWD models), I believe nobody has ever died in a Lexus RX FWD. it may because of it being pricier/wealthier audience, typical mileage driven or the average age of their clients ... but apparently nobody has ever died behind the wheel of an RX FWD. Not even from a heart attack! Thanks again for the video.
Nice video.. $1k saved in the bank in July 2010, is
worth $850 today.
$1k invested in Bitcoin in July 2010, is

@Benjamin Gibbson Well I'll tell you who works for me , I joined some online forum/webinar where I met some really good trader's Mr Thompson and his team stood out among them, they had the biggest positive impact on my trading and still handle portfolio to this day
No forex investors doesn't know him.... for my first investment with Mr Thompson gave me profit of over $41,750 and since then he has not failed to deliver and I can say he's the most sincere broker I have known 💟

I used to have a 2015 (face lift) vw jetta tsi and I loved how it drove and I really liked how well it took turns it sticks to the ground. And I also like the flat bottom strearing wheel and how the seats hold me in place as I went around corners. It seemed like it liked to go fast.

I actually owned a 2000 RX300 for my first car and then it wrecked... saved my life though with the steel cage! I loved that car! Would definitely recommend it!
This is a great video and they are under 5k but what you have to keep in mind is how big the engine is for example the bmw 325i has a 3.0L engine which is going to cost a crazy amount if you’re a student, you’d be spending all you money on keeping the car (the bigger the engine the bigger the insurance)
just bought a 2010 scion tC for 4,600 with 100,000 miles! love it! a few scratches and needs a new gas cap but everything else is perfect! thank you!

I have a Mazda 3 but it’s 2005, those things are so freaking great for customizing and I get to keep it even after I get a Miata! I’m a huge fan of Mazda now just because their cars are so easy to maintain and work on

damn, tou livin that takumi fujiwara life
Ewww, my kids are getting whatever car I drove before I bought my next car.
Ae86?
If it’s an ae86 at least they can probably drift in that car without too many enhancements to it 😂
It looks like your kids are delivering tofu.
the first car i bought was a 99 Subaru Legacy Wagon in 2011. i paid 5,000$ even for it. practicality summerizes that car up the best. I was getting 31 mpg on it when i was driving nice n easy.
awd, alot of space, i loved the image that car had , it just looked like a stern dad's car~ it gave me a sense of prestige. 5k i couldn't tell you what i would buy new in this day n age. i rushed out and bought one of the last 2.5 imprezas once those crappy 2012s came in with their small motors.
I just got a 07’ TSX oct 26 for my first car 149,000 miles for 7,000. I love it!
These vids are very entertaining for the crapper.... keep em going
My dad bought me my first car for college, he bought me the Scion tC 2005 man I love that car.
Lucky you!!!
I had to work 1 year and going at work with Uber to buy my first car
Another good first car is the gen 1 ford focus. Cheap, reliable, handles well, is practical, gets great gas mileage and is pretty easy to find
I stacked for my first house driving a stripped toyota echo hatch with stiffer springs, rear sway bar and stickies. It was fun to drive. I would also go with a yaris.
how long did it last you to stack for your first house?
as trainee I had a Honda civic, I can recommend it... cheap in terms of maintenance and insurance - great car :)
Almost got a tc but I ended up with a Mazda 6 sedan. Really nice first car it’s a alternative to the Mazda 3 with similar styling.
I like how he assumes we have a girlfriend
bouta get my first car soon thanks for the ideas i subbed
Bro you're vid just makes me 10 times excited to save up more and buy my new first car
remember guys, you cant afford it until you can buy it twice
The most a Scion TC ever got was 200hp, and that was with the TRD supercharger...
so many options this is def overwhelming but a good list to start with
Saw someone at school having fun with there Rx during soccer practice pretty cool car
I'd take the Mazda 3 hatchback. Seeing I already own a Mazda and I like how it handles.
Hey brad, love the videos, btw the video with the civics rolling is from srilanka, and unlike in the US in srilanka the civic is not so cheap, its about $12,000 for a 1992 and considering the income levels, its bloody expensive. But it is true that the common choice for many first time car buyers is a civic or a lancer and its the same over here. I'd suggest you do a list of the most expensive place to own cool cars. Good luck and keep up the great work. Love from Sri Lanka. ❤️❤️❤️
Not to mention now we got an import ban, hyperinflation, economic crisis and a civil unrest just this week
and now it's even more expensive with the presidental family messing us up

Carvana is charging 26k for a 2016 civic …. I got to this video too late lol
I didn’t get a car till my late 20’s. I was 29 years old on my 1st car. It was a 1998 Ford Contour SE. It was a little bit more for it at the time. My parents encouraged me to get it and even helped me on getting it.
i’m gonna get an accord from 2008-2015 because they used to put a v6 in those a little bit more expensive but it’s soooo worth it
Actually there is one v8 car I recommend for a first thats definitely less than 5 grand, a crown victoria and honestly hey lots of them are retired cop cars, bullet proof motors, cheap to fix, extremely practical and roomy u could literally live in it, Its my beater car cause my vette is my toy
Young ppl don’t like them Bc it looks like a grandpa’s car
@@lilganja896 it doesn’t drive like one :)
You should start including the insurance prices as well because that is what make it expensive for first time buyers
You taught me something that I didn't know earlier.. 👍👍
Lol love your energy!
Okay so great video, the Mazda3 is an excellent choice, also the TSX is killer will last forever, the Scion tC while very reliable and has a awesome Pano roof does not have stability control , and they are not safe, in fact they have a propensity to roll over. A 2000 Honda Civic is a death trap, the Toyota Yaris is even more of a death trap. A 325i can be a good buy if you find a well taken care of one, a six-speed manual would be ideal. A Jetta 2006 through 2012 would be a great by especially the 2.5 l, pretty reliable some can have electrical Gremlins. RX300 is a smart buy, also an IS300, and ES 300, or an ES 330, or a GS300. Or for that matter a LS400. I also would add a Volvo S80, S60, or S40. Also a Saab 9-3, and if you're really cool a Volvo V70 wagon.

If you don’t mind how much did you pay for it and what brand is it?.
I got my 88 z31 for 1200 bucks 50k miles. The vg30 is probably the most underrated motor next to the 1uzfe. It's a matter of time befor people find out.
I'm about to buy a Camry for just under $5k. There was a Saab (favorite/fastest car I ever owned not being rich) and an Audi 2T available for about the same price but the Saab was a nightmare to find parts for (seriously it kills me that they're out of production) and I imagine Audis to be expensive to maintain as well.
My SAAB was totaled two weeks ago, that's why I'm in the market again. Yeah, every repair was expensive and it seemed to always have something wrong. Transmitting went out, rebuilt the CPU end of last year... In saying that I loved the car. Too bad some pill popper hit it while it was parked
Wow. I make $400K/yr and I'm watching this to figure out my next car. I currently drive a flood title saab 9-3 that's probably worth 1500 bucks. These cars are probably above my willingness price range.
P.S. Owing an expensive car doesn't make you rich. Having people you love and care about in your life make you rich.
dayum, what do you do for a living
What do you do to make so much?
