Default Good Fuel Milage - 05-12-2004, 09:49 AM

I have been looking for a car that gets good fuel milage. I would prefer something that is disel, and an old German car. I have little money so Im looking for something under 2000$, and any help would be nice. Maybe you guys know of some cars others do not.

Try to get a German Diesel car for under $2000. That would probably fit what your looking for. rock:

87 to 89 Jetta, you could proabably get one with a perfect body and a otttaly rebuilt engine for 1k... Although never try and fix those bastards, the Engines are a mystery even to modern mechanics, their are peices placed in not even needing to be where they are.

within years diesel will not be cheaper. Dont by a car on current trends. Think long term unless you can afford to think short term. A good 4 cyl car with a 10-15 gal gas tank will get you 500 miles per tank. Thats plenty.
