No I will not be transporting bodies. I was going to get myself a SUV but relized how much parts would cost me for it if something went. So I decided to go with a car. I need something that can handle its fair bit of tools in the trunk. And it can't be stick(5 speed?) since I Don't know how to drive it.
I'm going to be buying it used and wouldnt mind getting a ton of Cars from 1995-2006 Iv seen some recentl cars from 04 for sale for under 5G..Which is my limit..But this isent about the price I just want to get a list of cars in that 'used price area' with good trunk space, Looks decent, Runs good on gas and is all around a good car to fix up and such. I'm A male by way if it matters.
Is the Small Hyundai Accent GS?

Hmm... full-sized American cars?
Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Grand Marquis/Lincoln Town Car probably have the biggest trunks.
If you want something that wasn't launched when Joe Clark was prime minister or you'd prefer FWD, try the full-sized GMs or Chryslers?

have u thought about getting a van? i know you're looking for a car and jeep parts are expensive from what you say, but a van will for sure give u the best trunk space.

VW Golf. 2.0L MK3 Golfs (1993-1999) are solid cars. Anything still left running are winners cuz the losers would've broken down by now. Winners meaning all the broken parts were replaced. Just check for maintenance history and you know whether you scored a good deal.
Fold down the one side of the rear seats in the golf and you can fit at least 7 large suitcases while carrying 3 passengers (driver included).
Can't get more room than that.

I was thinking about that exact Camry when I made my previous comment. :cheesygri
If OP want a domestic wagon, there's the Ford Taurus wagon which is huge.

If you need a big trunk look at what the cops use. Cops have to haul around a lot of gear (Flares, Pylons, Guns etc..) and the three cars they use are For Crown Victoria, Chevy Impala, and Dodge Charger.
I can attest to the size of an Impala's trunk. It can fit a full size mountain bike without taking off the wheels.
If you are looking for something even bigger but cooler than a minivan you should look at the Dodge Magnum SXT - it is huge and you can get a Hemi.

whats ur price limit?
i would strongly suggest u stay away from the accent, it is a horrible thing.
super unresponsive at highway speeds, no passing power, with heavy tools in the trunk you'd probly struggle to get up to 100km/hr.
plastic keeps falling off in the interior. its better to take the bus.

I say no to Accent as well. It also handles bad as well. For that price range, look into good GM domestics even.

dont go for a hyundai, theres a reason why the car is so cheap. i dont know how much trunk space an accent will have but if you're looking for a reliable car, hyundai is not the one you would wanna buy. think about why its so cheap. theres gotta be a reason. correct me if im wrong.

ford Focus 02 looks good.
A pal of mine has a 2001 Focus and I've rode in it and it is a very nice little car.
Handles pretty good and he has not had any major problems in the two years that he's had it.

True, but Hyundai's quality is much better than it was years go. My dad is the original owner of the predecessor, Pony, and I guess we're just lucky. No major problems of any sort. It's in excellent shape, it just need's a new valve cover gasket to stop a very minor oil leak but the car is technically past it's intended life span. :)

The only things you would probably need to worry about are the water pump and timing belt and how much braking material is left. It's always a good idea to get an inspection before buying something that may end up costing you more money.
The only way to tell if the car has enough power for you, is to drive it.

I've also rode in a Sunfire and all I have to say is that I'd never buy one (used now).
The interior looks like some 8 year old did the designing.
If you're looking for a car with decent trunk space (not sure what decent means), then most midsize or large cars will have lots more than a small car will.

Pontiac Grand Prix. I had a Grand Prix GT and in the years that I owned it, I had been told a dozen times by many friends how much room it has in there.
Truly is one of the biggest trunks i've seen in a car.
