I need it around or below $1000. I'm driving 100 miles a day so hopefully something that isn't going to fall apart right away. Help me out and let me know what you got.

I've ridden a bike once in my life. Wouldn't want to pay the insurance to have one right now.

That's gonna be tuff bud. I'd say about $3k would open up some doors, if you weren't pick that is. Not that you can't find cars for $1k but ones that are reliable for 100 miles of driving a day... dunno.

Get a 94-97 V6 thunderbird. Those things are cheap as hell and good cars. Really comfortable for a daily too. My first car was a 94 V8 thunderbird and it was only 2,000. Go look on craigslist, I have found a couple V6 ones for like $700 lol.

87-88 thunderbird turbo coupe, if you can find em, they usually sit in the 1k to 2k range and can get about 300k miles on the engine before they go bad, I recoment one with the T5 trans it takes a good amount of abuse.
