Reccommend my brother a car

[mbonanni]

My brother is going to be needing a car real soon and need r3v's help.

He needs a commuter car that is reliable and gets decent mileage. We have a spending limit of about $2300.

He really wants an e30, but unfortunately the parents will not allow it because they say one bmw in the family is enough.

What do you guys think?

[YosemiteSam]

Your parents are wrong. If not E30, assuming he's just starting driving I'd say an old Volvo 240.

get new parents.

Why would your parents deny him getting the car he wants because it's another BMW? It's a much better option than half the other BS boring cars they probably want him to get instead

I have 4 BMWs in the family (technically...one's not much more than some metal and green paint anymore). And eventually my mom's probably going to get an X5. I'd say an e30 really isn't any more likely to be more unreliable than any other car you buy for 2300 bucks. You have to look at the cars individually and see how they've been taken care of to make that decision. If he wants an e30 he should buy one.

Reasons he should NOT get an e30

-He has no money to spend on it for maintenance
-He has no knowledge about cars at all
-My mom says he is an asshole
-He doesn't deserve r3v swag
-I do not want to work on it/trouble shoot any problems for him
-He isn't cool enough.

In all seriousness, and e30 is just not a good candidate for such a low budget.

My parents said they greatly appreciate your support and thinks you are all awesome.

Oh shit... forgot to mention something... He needs an automatic.

[Herr Faust Schinken]

[mbonanni]

Yeah, it is his own fault for being uncoordinated.
