Hi everyone. My neighbor's car recently broke down and he is in the market for another one. He did buy another used car just to have transportation, and while he does like it, the car is not what he really wanted. I would like to help him search for the car he really wants. I just need to know which ones to look for.
He is elderly and very knowledgeable about cars and he can haggle really well but he is not into the computer age at all. He does not own a computer or have anything to do with websites like craigslist or ebay motors. I would like to help him find a car by searching online but from the description of what he wants in a car it wont be easy. I need the advice of people who really know different makes and models of cars to help me.
He wants a rear wheel drive car with only two doors not four. He wants a low price, so not a car that costs major amounts of money . Probably nothing much older then say 1994 and not much newer than maybe 2005 . What cars fit that description?
Generally speaking avoid a dealer unless you can get a guarantee.
When you buy from owner, you can at least get the option to speak with the owners, sure they can lie, but you can make your own decision.
About the best thing going, and little known, is a used 4 door Audi.
They have no resale value, especially if they are diesel. nobody buys them for some reason, and you can get a really nice, luxury car, for relatively cheap.

Thank you. Does Audi make a rear wheel drive car? Why do you think my neighbor only likes rear wheel drive ?

Another good one to look for is a Volvo, or Saab, that has been damaged and repaired.
Volvo and saab people are funny, and will not touch one of these, but if the car checks out OK, you can get a deal.
I would be scared of a car what was in an accident too. You think if they are fixed up they will be okay ? The commercials show volvo being safe in an accident is that true?

You can use those criteria to search on autotrader website. Most Audi's are all wheel drive and 4 doors. Since you say he's elderly, have him buy a Porsche 911, be his last car and go out in style.
