Used car for 5 grand?

[Spectre]

The engine is not the only problem, everything was knackered when I got it, brakes, front right suspension , power windows, stereo.. will take a lot to fix every thing up, might as well part it out at this point.

So, in other words, you have an older Focus?

If you go Honda, get an Accord for the price range that you are in. The newer ones are boats but the older ones are smaller and a lot better built then their Civic cousins. They are built to last forever and as long as it is a manual have a little bit of go.
