$6k Limit!

You have $6,000 to spend on each car.  Here are your choices:

1) Daily driver
2) Weekender
3) Family Hauler (must be able to seat four people comfortably for a week's outing)
4) Heavy Hauler

It'd be nice if you could show evidence of your cars since inevitably someone will post some amazing deal, but it's not necessary.  Have at it!

Your $6k list is much better than your $40k one.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Here are mine.  I picked $6k because one car in particular is really hard to find at $5k at the moment, at least running.

Here it goes:

1) 1998-2001 Subaru 2.5RS
2) BMW 2002
3) early-2000s Toyota Avalon
4) 2000+ Dodge Dakota V8
