Need Help Finding A Car For Up To $9,000!!

hey, as some of you know my girl wrecked her jetta. i'm looking for a cool car, that's reliable and with low miles for up to 9,000 dollars. miles less than 80K and the car can't be older than 1998. I am going out of my mind flipping through page after page on auto trader and ebay trying to find a deal. HELP ME...please???? my choices so far are 2000-2002 jetta (4 cyl or 1.8 T) and 1998-2000 audi A4 (2.8 V6 or 1.8 T). post some pics or some links..thanks. mike

Personally I would avoid the German cars as my choice of used cars. I think it's just too risky.

A Nissan Altima is a good car. It rides ok. It's not fast but it's quick. I bought my mom a 95 with low miles last year. You want to stay away form the Camary. They are on the top theft list so insurance is high on them.

alright thank you for all the help. we found a perfect little replacement jetta for her.
2001 silver with gray leather. 31K miles, perfect shape no accidents. 2.0L gas engine.
got her for 9,500...a little over but ya'll should see the shape this thing is in. let's hope she can keep this one around for longer than a month.
