I NEED a car that is reliable, economical, manual and roadworthy for less than $2000. I was looking at a 1981 KE70 Corolla, but wonder if there is something else out there. It only has to last me eight months. What are my options?
YOU can't expect a cheapie to be ultra-reliable, no matter what the brand. The best approach is to look at the established brands -- Toyota Corolla, Mazda 323, Ford Laser and Nissan Pulsar -- and pick the car in the best condition. Concentrate on the popular Japanese brands, but keep an open mind on other makes.
