Accord or camry gets my vote. You aren't going to find anything for $6000 that is a 97 or newer though...not w/o mega mileage.

You may have to go domestic with those conditions...taurus comes to mind.

Toyota Camry is good and for domestic I would say a Malibu, I know a friend that has one and she said that she is really happy with it.

i would sell my car but it is payed off. so i am going to buy another car for my wife but we have a baby coming and do not have a lot of extra money to blow on a nother car so i might go to an auction and buy a car that has been crashed an then have my uncle fix it since he owns a body shop.

Does your wife not like civics at all? Or just the fact that yours is a coupe.

If she can tolerate them I would suggest getting a 96, 97 or 98 LX Civic Sedan. You should be able to find one for about 6-7k maybe cheaper.

Congrats on the dad to be status! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

My family has 13 1994-2002 toyota camrys....Thats including cousins and stuff.....My mother has a white 97 camry...Its a very nice reliable but boring car.....lol. It is very good for a family though...Plenty of interior room, good on gas and alot of trunk space. My sister has a white 2000 camry, and she loves it too.

buying a car with " White With BLue Graphics" the graphics are 15" tall japanese sysbles on each side. MangaFlow muffler 3 " drop" 8" tall Neon Zen Spoiler (aluminum)...." is an indication that the owner probably abused the car by driving it harder than your typical non-modded camry owner. just my $.02.
