    Its just as good to walk, Ladas are bad. Period.

    ot: Miniature pickup trucks such as the Chevrolet s10 pickup or ford ranger although the rangers im told to be just as hard on gas as a regular f150

    Judging by the suggestions I've gotten so far, I think the bus really is the best choice ;)

    Options aren't really important, but small and fuel efficient is quite important. The biggest I could go for is about the size of an EG civic.

    Sorry for off topic but from where in germany are you because i live near the czech border too.
    OT: id too stick to the bus a while longer if i were you until you have around 4k or more that would be a good amount of money for a car youll then be able to afford a car like a fiat punto they are reliable and fun to drive.

    2 of my 4 cars have been under $1000 (€850). At this price point you need to be hyper aware of what you are getting into and be willing to make compromises. I paid $800 (€675) for the Thunderbird and the drivetrain is fine but it needed the front end rebuilt, thermostat, tires, rear brakes, e-brake cable and the door locks don't work. If you can do your own work, there is some fun to be had at this price point. Just don't expect ANYTHING, it makes it easier when you realize what that amount of money will (or won't...) buy you.

    Well yeah, of course there's compromises when you buy a V8 sports car for that kind of cash. I've seen relatively clean superminis from the late 90s-early 2000s go for under a grand :)

    Well in that case I'd say the Saxo is a pretty good bet, it might not be the most exciting but the TU series engines are very reliable because they are an older design. If you manage to start hunting for anything just make sure to check for the most common problems as it could save you a lot of stress down the line.

    Ah, I just noticed you have the 10th gen. I'm sure it's amazingly comfortable and decently well built, but why was Ford rolling out personal luxury cars in the mid 90s? Were they totally out of touch with the automotive market, or were they actually trying to revive the cold lifeless husk of the 1970s?

    Because there's always a need for practical, somewhat durable vehicles with large passenger and cargo space; the SUV is a timeless vehicle :)

    Really? It's practical the fucking thing cost in between $63,850-$89,450 a Suburban cost less $49,915-$67,840 and I'm pretty sure both are just going to be Betty bitch face's daily to the Super market.
