honda, toyota, or nissan are the way to go for something reliable. that being said, the subdivisions of those makers are good also: acura, lexus, scion, and infinity.
when we got our new car at the lexus dealers there was this paper and it listed all the car that is the most reliable and 1st came lexus and hondas and toyos were around the 15's and benz were like in the middle 20's i dont remember but yah..get a used lexus
ooo niice but the catch is not tryna spend so much money on a car so the limit is 3 g's LOL dad being a lil prick about the red 93 mazda 626 so yea i want to go to san jose so i can look at it

our family car, ten years ago, was a 93 ford tempo. had dents everywhere. that shit still ran pretty well. we had some starter problems tho, but nothing that you cant fix. shit will last forever. 2100? damn i woulda sold u mind for 500 bucks. dunno what we did with it. my ex-gf would rather have me drive the tempo than the 98 accord we had cuz the seats were more comfortable and plush and a lot more cozy. tempo is the way to go! mona lisa power!

the car im driving now is an 85 honda accord. doesn't get any girls, but it runs fine. i bought it for 800 dollars a year ago. with 3000 to spend, my advice is to go with a car with less options. the more there is, the more there is to break. yu can live without power windows or a sunroof. a/c is a must. manual transmission cars are cheaper, also.

stick with imports when shopping for a used car. just take a look around. yu'll see many more, say, 1990 or older japanese cars running around than american built cars.
well i checked it out today runs pretty well the top break lights don't work gotta replace that replace all the tires cause their worn gotta get new windshield wipers it's red i spend 5 minutes trying to find the head lights LOL! but yea bad thinga bout it is THE MAX SPEED IS 80! MAN! o well it's prob good for me won't have to worry too much on speeidng tickets LOL
everything in the car is powered LOL even the belts its strangled me LOL all i needed was a good car that runs well with A/C and power windows thats it.

jus' be happy with anything that has a/c and stereo system
whoever says 'as long as it takes you point A to point B' they never had buckets in the summer before... try to ride a car that has no a/c, no stereo system... and no power window and stuck in the traffic during the hot day.... it'll eventually drives you crazy... my frist car was bucket... i nearly got myself killed while i was trying to scroll down the window on freeway(first time driving on the freeway)...

yeah on the tempos they have the stupid automatic seatbelt thing. i duno why. and also the first thing to go on my tempo was the power steering. so watch for that. and trust me.... just cuz it says 80 doesnt mean it wont go faster. you'll just have to guess how fast ur going past 80. d=D
