hi everyone i'm looking to buy my first car and my budget is around 5-7. hopefully under 7,000 though. I'm not sure what to look for when buying a used car. i saw this craigslist ad and please let me know what you think. i have 3 years experience driving but never actually owned a car. i know how to drive manual and automatic but i prefer a manual as i can control the gears. it looks a bit dirty under the hood to me. if i like it, i will also get a mechanic to check it out after a test drive etc... what is a good price i can negotiate for it? thanks for all help. if this is posted in the wrong section, i apologize in advance.

Price is fair, i'd haggle for the obvious body damage (dings and bumper scrapes), also check the title. An Ep3 is an excellent used car choice. The grill has obviously been replaced or recently painted due to the difference in color between that and the rest of the chassis. I'd def have a pro come with you to check it out.

That looks pretty good man, let me know how that goes.
I'd personally go for the generation just below that one
