- Hey guys welcome back to the channel and in todays video we are going to be going over the best first cars for high schoolers for less than $3k! Keep in mind this vid is mainly for car guys and not for the average folk! Also even tho all these are under $3k, I highly recommend saving up until around $5k to buy your first car since that’ll be a better idea, I hope you enjoy and if you do, please be sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more!!

hey I have a question, I’m 16 and gonna get a summer job and I seen a 1974 Porsche 911 and my dream car, on sale for like 3k, it’s a little bit of work and I don’t know if I should buy it, I’m trying to get into mechanics for college and think this would be good to learn from. If you don’t answer it’s fine
@@bruhrico69 buy it bro, definitely worth it, huge aftermarket snd eady to work on
@@bruhrico69 if you fix it up it will be worth like 30k-50k
@@bruhrico69 for only $3k it sounds a bit too good to be true. It might need more work than you’re ready for at that level and it might just cause unnecessary stress especially if you’re going into college.
@@markroden just to let you know the 2g eclipse did not have a GT trim it had the RS GS GS-T and GSX trim levels but I think you were thinking of the 3 rd and 4th gen eclipse because they had the GT trim
1997-2001 Toyota Camry LE is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. My parents owned one and they said it was a really good choice to get as a first car. I was also pretty surprised at how much aftermarket support these cars got. Plus you can stand out in the car community cause there's bodykits for these cars I haven't seen anyone on the internet apply yet.
I always forget about the corollas and Camrys bro
how is its performance?
what engine is unda the hood?
@@oklo0315 stock 2.2L 4-cylinder engine delivering 133 HP, 23 city/30 highway.
I heard you can put a V6 in the Camry.
You can also put a 2JZ in it I heard but you gotta make the Camry RWD (to take pressure off the FWD drivetrain)
Idk if you can K-Swap a Camry but I gotta do more research on Camry mods
I forget about the Camry and Corollas too.
the 92-96 V6 camrys or lexus ES300s with the 3vz-fe have pretty solid engines for power too. base 185hp and a DOHC engine with an iron block. Problem is after 300-350hp it has issues not spinning the tires.
I have a 7th gen accord and I cannot reccomend it enough!!! They're nice on the inside because they're not meant to be sporty but they also come with a K24 in it which is an amazing motor, not to mention that i think that they can look really good for not a lot of money which would be very important to a high schooler!
Great list! I own a pass-me-down 2010 Toyota Corolla Altis since high school from my dad (since 2016) and still drive it to this day (I'm 24 now 😅) and already reaching 380k km (236k miles). No crazy issues for now. Only normal issue is the noisy fan belt.
yo mark bbg you have single-handedly helped me shape a taste in cars and help me with choosing my future project cars, love ya (with a fire passionate desire btw)
ayo
@@Dani_als mb
Impressed by this frequent uploading, keep up the work man I love the vids
Thank you man
The honda fit is a really fun car and has potential to make good power; however, it is no longer in the $3k range. They have been getting too much light which is raising the prices of them.
Really? Here in the UK its known as a granny car so still super cheap and normally well looked after
@@CCCZMCthey used to go for £500 now theyre 1k plus! Very high!
Doesn't matter how loved it is. It's still a pocket cube. No-one is going to pay more than 2k for it
Very happy to see the 7th Gen Celi in here. Looks so good even today.
watch your videos like once a week thanks for your content!
Great info. Will use this in my search for a car. Also never seen a Caddie being used as an off road vehicle.
Love the Videos! Super relaxing too, love the background music and how u do your videos
Look up Skyrim soundtrack, that’s the music in the background of this video
keep it up mark you a legend for these vids... still goated from that Fozzy video
Lmao ofc man thank you
wow i love the way you talk! I hear the passion
I know none of the prices will be the same in the UK but i still watch 😅
Love the videos bro
GREAT VIDEO MARK!!!!! I AGREE WITH YOU 100%. ALLL ARE GREAT CARS AND TRUCKS FOR HIGH SCHOOL. AND LIFE ON GENERAL. GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
honestly this list is great and I already know what car I want now
i have a 2013 chevy impala and absolutely love it. these cars don’t get enough attention, FWD, 300HP V6!!!
Perfect timing! thanks bro
Thanks this is actually really helpful
6:10 the del sol actually came in 3 different trims
S 100hp
Si 125hp
VTEC 160hp
Only weighing 2,300ib
The Si is more common than the S and are priced the same
i love your vids there so helpful
Thank you man
This aint to bad of a video, Notices Skyrim soundtrack in the background, THIS IS THE GOAT!!
had a 94 honda accord w a transmission leak, burnt plugs and many other things wrong w it that caused it to sputter and one time died out at a light, idk how but i drove that car on hopes and dreams, her last run was up to the mechanic then after that she refused to turn on, absolute gem of a car i still wish i had
Thank u so much for this video, I just got my first car today for my birthday it was the tl ❤
i got an 88 celica gt which has the economy engine instead of the one the rest of the celicas have which means its a reliable tank, its a little slow with a ten second 0-60, but i also got it for 400$ and its amazingly clean inside, no dash cracks and just amazing condition and o got it for 400$ RUNNING
So a few things about the 2G Eclipse:
1) they never came in a “GT” trim. The 1st and 2nd gen DSM’s went by RS, GS (slightly nicer NA FWD), GS-T for FWD turbo, and GSX for AWD turbo.
2)The 420A in the NA Eclipse is NOWHERE NEAR as good as the 4g63 in the turbo Eclipses. You’re comparing a Dodge Neon engine to the Lancer Evo engine, lol. We all know 4G63’s are capable of 1000hp+, while the 420A would be lucky to hit 250hp without blowing up. A great car still, but not in the same ballpark.
3) I would absolutely NOT recommend a 2G DSM this far on for less than $3k. I can guarantee any you find now for that price will be clapped beyond redemption. I sold my 2G GS for $4k, and that was back in 2020. I would spend a minimum of $4.5k for a clean NA and no less than around $8-10k for a GS-T and $12k+ for a clean GSX these days, at least if you want to drive it more than work on it.
Which one is the best to buy for reliability, fun, safety?
VW JETTA MK5 Is a dream to drive! handles great , I'd highly recommend that one to people who wanna have fun
First car is mk5 gti manual so much would definitely recommend only downside is the rust
i have an 05 toyota echo for a first car and it’s honestly great it’s just a honda fit in a different body (1.5L I4 108hp with relatively similar weight) there isn’t much after market support tho which kinda sucks cuz it’s a little go cart and it handles really well.
2zz swap it bro. Or throw a 1zz in there and boost it
As my name obviously says I am very happy that the Celica was mentioned, only thing is the Celica is not very good on mods because of it's kinda underatedness so don't go out there and expect a non-expesive RWD transmission swap
Great car guide appreciate the video
J series accords and TLs are good first cars too. My j30a1 02 accord is a fun car to drive the downside is the trans that’s about it really. You can get a h series too. Plan on getting a cd5 h22. Honda are good cars. Toyotas are too. V6 Chrysler 300 with the 3.5 good cars too. Had a v6 Chrysler 300 as my first car lasted me 4 years. But there good cars though. But this is a good list fr.
i keep watching these videos just to see the miata on the list😭😭 can’t wait to get mine fr
First thanks for the vid really helps on the choice 👍
Happy to help man
I have that Cruze. Thanks for showing love too it!
I'd have to respectfully disagree with turbo charged engines being more reliable
& Some of your picks are questionable lol but other than that. Great video, good humor. Keep up the good work & stay blessed 💯
Acura is king, I somehow ended up with a a-spec tlx 19 in high school.
Y’all Honda is a W car
"im always sober and my friends are the ones doing the crazy stuff" literally me and my friends except i drive a 2 door hatchback lmao. also as a DSM owner, good luck finding a half decent one for under 6k, even the non turbo models are selling for way too much and the price is only going up
Love the Skyrim track playing in the background 😆
Short people and Miata's are a match made in heaven 😄
Who is getting a Miata for 3,000!!!
I mean they used to be cheap before they became a trend
Miata’s are cheap asf there extremely easy to find under 3k
man... In Italy, it's literally impossible to find one under €15k.
Already got 1😂
my buddy just got his
I bought a Honda prelude as my first car and it’s perfect, way underrated
That car looks great, I wish Honda continued it. :/
Thanks buddy for the vid
Hey man, high schooler here saying thank you for this video. Wanted to ask what you think of the 1st gen Audi TT
Dont forget that volvo s60 t6...... that monster is very underrated in multiple acspecys
one of the vidoes of all time
Love the zombies reference i still listen to those songs to this day
I'd recommend against the turbo Cruze. When it fails, it's an expensive fix.
Saw the terrible towel... INSTANTLY subscribed :D
Grand Prix GTP, Park avenue Ultra, ion Redline SRT4 and Colbat SS. GTP should definitely be on this list
I have a 2005 Chevy impala SS and it has been he best first car I could possibly ask for and it makes 240 hp and comes with a killer sound system
Hella entertaining commentary
Bro Thank You!!!! ❤🙏🏼
A MUST WATCH FOR THOSE ON A BUDGET.
Great video 🎉
Just got my first car as a 2001 Toyota Solara SLE Coup V6 3.0 with 200,000 for 760. Need a lot of work though all new struts, new break pads and some dings dents and bumps but feel in love with the idea of the $700 body kit and a spoiler when the time comes
How is it now
@@snagg7096 Its actually doing really well just has a tiny valve cover gasket leak common with age and just got a water pump kit for it. Most of the issues was the last owner did not know how to maintain her properly.
Everyone hates on the BMWs that i talk to but i’ve had a 2013 M5 that I got for 5grand for a couple years now and it’s never had a problem YET!
My first car was 1998 aqura intergra as seen on the thubnail mine was red....loved it even though it wasnt the type R
Great video
1990s Jeep Wrangler is literally my dream car. Or one of them atleast.
It’s like 10k, so kinda expensive, but a badass car.
“For high school car guys” Now you have my attention
i was just coming to youtube to look at best 2nd cars for car guys and your video was 1st on my feed. but if its not too much of a hassle could you do best 2nd cars for teen/highschool car guys?
The bugatti chiron is 2500€ and goes really fast! I really recommend it
First car was an 89 IROC-Z Camaro. Loved that car
Bro, miatas in europe are definitely not under 3k anymore, unless its a complete rustbox. If you want a decent one it'll cost up to 6k euros or more. Decent second gen ones are around 4k
I feel like many of the cars in the video are actually more expensive in Europe (in my case germany) than in the vid, especially if you want it to be in decent condition. I really like the Mitsubishi Eclipse 2g even though I will probably never own one and all the ones that I saw online for less than 3000€ (3k$ actually equals around 2700€) were toasted/preowned by 8 people/etc. Most of them were in the 6000-10000€ range actually.
I like how over the time of watching this channel I realized that same cars mark think is ugly but still nice which is the same thing I think about the exact same cars
I have a 2015 Chevy Cruze rs with the 1.4t and I love it. ZZpreformance parts make it an amazing daily. Glad to see this thing on here lmao.
Happy to here it bro
unfortunately holden cruzes here in australia are shitboxes and are just daewoos with a different badge. U don't really see them around anymore cus most of them are at scrapyards
Skyrim music in the background had me so distracted because it’s so nostalgic hahah
You came up when I was at my POOREST. BEAST of a channel
Love the Skyrim music in the background 😂
My dad had a chev cruz he gave it to me as a gift for when i got accepted in med school so I love it😂❤
I got a 2002 Ford explorer XLT 4.6L V8 handed down to me from my dad. It's not the best if I were to have spent money on it, but for free, it's fucking awesome. 240hp is still more than all my friends lol
This channel is underrated i hada sub. U kinda remind me of Bladed Angel 😂
9:28 yes it is rural, urban is like a city 👍
Love the Skyrim background music 😂😂😂
Bro the Far Horizons at the beginning caught me so off guard, hilarious
Can you do best 25 best jobs to afford your first car?
Honestly, have a good personality and be able to multitask, serving tables at a busy restaurant . Good for a 5pm-10pm shift, can walk home with 150-300 bucks a shift if you’re good
I recently got a 05 g35 sedan as my first car
The joys of living in the UK. We can barely get insurance on a corsa or fiesta 😭
THANK YOU FINNALY
German guy here, about the Audi A4 B7, just a little correction, the Audi A4 B7 comes NOT ONLY in AWD (quattro) it’s mostly FWD, if you want one with AWD you obviously have to pay more for the car 🤪
I got a 03 g35 sedan and I love my car I couldn’t recommend it more
Thank you bro I'm 14 years old and I just got a job to save up for a car when I get my license. I'm thinking about getting the BMW 328i E46.
I got a questions 1. What’s wrong/ is it taboo with driving an awd car? 2. I want to buy a cheap manual car with awd because the dream car I want is manual and awd and a lil heavy so would it be good to buy a awd as a beginner or would it not matter
The first gen Mazda 3 are a good choice to for under 3k just got mine for 1k you should put Mazda 3 in your next video
THE SKYRIM MUSIC GOES CRAAAAAZY
I bought a 2000 Jeep wrangler at 15 with only 80k miles, big W
I missed the first one because my brain kept hearing the Whiterun theme in the background😂 who knew Mark lived in Skyrim and sells affordable adventure carriages.
HM - 2006 Pontiac G6 you can get the v6 version for like 3500 and they have some cool modifications
The 1.8 in the Audi is the same engine that is in the mk4 jetta/golf.
FINALLY my time to shine 😎
Yessir lmaooo
Nah I’m just sitting here watching then I realized that you playing some Skyrim ambience, it makes this video even better knowing that ngl
Bro fit 25 cars in 16 mins acually thre goat
just got a audi a4 i love it
my 2nd gen Integra was a truly great ride
Acura TL Babyyyy!
I just totaled my Tl and now looking for another so seeing at #1 Makes me Happy
I’m sorry to hear it but you got this
The skyrim bgm is just so nostalgic.
