getting a new car...wats good for bikes?
 

hey guys...since i totalled my car on fri...im in the market fora new one(not really new, but new to me)....the insurance company is only gonna give me 1300 for my old car...possibly more if i can get the reciepts of all the work ive put into it recently, but i doubt much more...im hoping to save up a little more cash and hoping i can finance it...so im looking for about 2-3k for a car...i dont want a truck, i would prefer a car deffiantly...but im wondering if u guys have any ideas of something that could tow a bike and a trailor?(assuming, hoping, praying i dont need to sell the bike)

thanks!:D

I have a 1996 Nissan Maxima SE 5 speed manual.
Great car, very quick and powerful, rarely breaks(mine has 215k miles!!)and im sure it can tow plenty of load. 190hp V6 210tq
You can find one in decent shape for about 3k.

get a truck man, you're killing me. Have you ever seen that old station wagon pull out of the lowes parking lot with 50 2x4's on the roof and 75 cinder blocks in the hatch and just thought to yourself why don't they just get a truck? Don't be that guy. [sm=icon_beat.gif]

dude be that guy... be that guy.... i was just sayin that if you're not going to be towing stuff ALL the time, then pretty much any car can handle it.

alright...i would NEVER b that guy...the only time i would b carrying more than a few things in my car would b if i was towing the bike...i have absolutly NO need for a truck, and i dont want to pay the extra in gas, plus i dont really think i could ever see myself in a truck...so, no, i will not get a truck...but i also will never be seen over stuffing my little car[sm=smiley17.gif]

i towed a uhaul all over with my 89 topaz that only had like an 80 hp 4 banger so i think basically any car (almost) will be able to pull a trailer and like 1 bike, but my girlfriends trying to sell her 95 mitsubishi galant for like 2-3 but i dunno if thats what ur looking for, but yea if u plan on pulling alot then i would just go with a truck instead of putting a hitch on a car
