My previous posts are about budgeting my money and trying to balance my liabilities. But now it's time for me to purchase a car. I initially was interested in cars such as a Camaro, Porsche 944 and a Mustang. But since then I've realized that fuel efficiency and reliability are my main priorities.

I currently have $6,000 in my bank account and I'm looking to get the best buy I can. I'm 17 years old, but this time next year I'd like to purchase my first piece of real estate which will probably be a duplex or a triplex that I can live in while I'm at college. I also plan on bird dogging in order to make more money for a down payment.

I think most would say that I should look into a Honda Civic/Accord/Prelude, but I'm open to other options. What do you think?
