    $400 to sell his toyota? is it jacked?

    and hMmm.. maybe a used honda or acura... or just any used car in general that's around there. make sure he gets one that has good gas mileage - he'll need it for the high cost of gas now-a-days

    For $6000, i'd go for a used Acura 1.6 EL, they look pretty nice.

    Honestly though, you're on the wrong forum.

    Go on a car forum and ask this. You're asking kids who play video games, make sigs, and render pictures, I don't think you'll get your best ideas here.

    Just my $0.02.

    Does it have to be a car, I prefer motorcycles better for the envionment. And if you dont believe the lowest I've seen a motorcycle get is 35 miles to the gallon.

    Edit if it is a car may try and get a used honda civic hybrid save you money in the long run.

    id go for a mid 90s (best if 95-97) Subaru Legacy GT wagon. very pratical and offer great performace. has AWD which makes it better for the rainy says and winter driving. it has low fuel consumption (for this catorgry) which equals to alot of savings on the market today. Subaru quality and durability is undoubtable so its great to drive and amazing to look at.

    you cant lose.

    A hybrid would probally go over his limit. It mainly depends what he is using the car for to see if he would need something bigger or a smaller car with hot gas mileage.
