Default Need some advice on a used car!

hey guys, I share with my mom a 1996 Plymouth grand voyager...its a pos essentially, the gasket is messed up, the brakes are dead (barely and pedal travel left in them), the steering grinds at low speeds, and the engine cuts out regularly...oh and it chugs fuel like its dying of thirst...

so we're looking for a used car around $5000-$6000 CDN ( about 1500 pounds)...

just want to know what you guys thing would be good for that kind of money

If you're in the florida area, i have an awesome 1997 Camry LE (with Red "R" badge replacing the "LE" badge, just as a joke! images/smilies/smile.gif )

85,000 miles, engine has 20,000 less than that on it, brand new brakes


This car will run forever, i just wanna sell it so i can get an older, less reliable Camaro Z28


$2500
