So, I'm looking to get my first car for my birthday (September). I'm looking to get a older (95-05) BMW 3 series, I would really prefer two door. I'm looking to spend around 8-10k.

What type of mileage should I look for? I know >100k is good. There's a local place that has a 98 3 series, but it's a convertible, for 11k (don't really want a convertible, I'd like hardtop if possible). It seems like majority of the two doors I find are convertible, I think I've seen less than three hard tops in my area. Is a hard top more expensive?

i want a 1968 mustang so bad.

how hard can it be to maintain it? it would be my weekend car, as i commute to the city everyday and really would only drive during the weekend. a decent one is running like 6-9 g's.

02 Mazda Protege 5 with 106k on the dash for $5,000 sound good?

Assuming clean title, it sounds fair. I'd pay between 4.5 - 5.5 depending on transmission(i'd prefer the 5speed) and condition of vehicle

I think the term you're thinking of is "coupe". A hardtop is basically something that gives a convertible a..well.. hard top. An E36 m3 is a solid choice. They arent hard to work on, and are rewarding to drive. Try and find one in techno violet! Or whatever its called! I love that color! E36 can be had under 6 grand easily. Slightly more for an M. E46 are a bit more..

around 3k. thats the thing i know its a honda but its also a hybrid. i dont know if that part of the vehicle can last any longer. plus its a manual car which i dont know how to drive

Manual cars can be even more fuel efficient and accelerate faster.. also keep you busy so you don't play with your phone.. sounds cool.

But the hybrid part also puzzles me, look up as much info about them. I never heard anything bad about honda hybrids tho.

Ceramic tint rejects heat a lot better than any other metallic or regular tint. There is also the notion that metallic tints can interfere with the Key Fob and the Radio/GPS antenna.

Personally, i'd stick with a 3M product over FormulaOne if the shop offers it.

Igot s 3m tint to its pretty good so far.
 
Ya. Prices range anywhere frm 200 to 350 depending on size of car and quality of tint

You can pay out the wazoo for premium films but so not worth it
 
I paid fifty bucks for just the two front windows at 20% with 3m and I thought I was paying to much. Other windows were already tinted
