    Sounds like we got a future prius driver on our hands.

    Oh shit... forgot to mention something... He needs an automatic.
    Yep, I had a 1984 Volvo 240 diesel. One of the best and most reliable cars I've owned. Plus, diesels are just awesome! Great mpg too

    Haha, you guys crack me up. I don't want a super ugly POS sitting next to my car.

    At least a volvo is square. He really is not that bad. He is just a flamer.

    He can handle rwd just fine. He has had his license for 6+ months, and he needs a car to go to work and cheer leading practice.

    -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.

    please make sure he knows how to handle the car if it's rwd. seen too many people have a bad day and fail to correct or over correct a slide

    Another vote for a 240, but don't discount the 700/900-series cars either, and avoid the six cylinders if possible. I just got out of a 940T estate, such a cool car; simple as a tractor and still plenty competent on the highway/occasional twisty road. Check the Turbobricks forum, there are a ton of members in your area. And, FYI, I unloaded mine for less than the amount in your OP, and that was with a generous amount of IPD parts and loads of preventative maintenance performed. And bitches really do flock to Volvos, it's weirdly fascinating. Best of luck.

    yup my old 240d had nearly 380k when it finally decided to shit the bed.
    but i pretty much ran it into the ground, i had no knowledge or experience on how to take care of a car hahaha.

    still had tons of character, along with good times associated with it.
    i wanna sell my e21 and get another one.
    my first car:



    how it paid for my e30:


    when i got my e30:





    i miss that thing.

    If that is true make him drive a chevy sprint or a yugo.
