You should be able to pick up a '00 or '01 Maxima around your price range and get power, room, good looks IMO and reliability. Or a Mistsu Galant (GZT I think it is) 6 cylinder '02 and 03 models should be in your price range but I don't know a whole lot about their reliablilty. Also for Mistu's you might be able to grab a '00 or possibly '01 Diamante, sweet looking cars if you ask me with nice power and lots of interior goodies. Even though I don't really like them you might check out the Dodge Intrepid or a Taurus even.





I agree, the Maxima is a great car for the money. I think those are great buys, and would consider one as my next car. I prefer the older body style too (not the newest). Its a little bigger than the Contour, but is incredibly practical.

Personally, I will never own a Mitzu, at least none of the miztus from the last 10 years. I've seen friends with these cars, and they are just falling apart around them. They really seem to be cheap cars that don't last long, and are incredibly overpriced for what you're getting. Do research before you buy, and decide for yourself.

Be sure to hit the library and check out Consumer Reports Used Auto Guide.
