family car used under 5k? i recommend saving and getting something new and safer than a car pushing 15 years.
true thats why im buying my wife a new car i just need one that i can load up the kids sometimes. there is more than just hondas out there cause yes then i can do better with something newer every honda has 200k plus anymore but not all cars.
older civic that fits 3 kids lol
and i am very mechanically inclined so i will know if its safe or not or if it has problems/needs work
I was suggesting a Civic Wagon, they will always be within your price range, but expect higher mileage unless you find one for a steal. My dad had a 1990 in cream colored with the 6 speed RT4WD, and it fit myself, mom, dog, and sis all within the seats, got great mileage, worked all year round, and overall not a bad looking car.
No fat chicks, car will scrape.

uhh are you seriously suggesting that he get a 25 year old car as a "baby hauler"? why not a volvo?
I'd look into a small sub. More of a family car and safer for the three kids. Not to mention comfort. Small cars lose comfort when the car seat whether it being rear or front facing. With my front facing mounted in my 8th Gen. I can fit one normal sized adult in the back or two tiny Asian kids.
outback wagons, legacy, impreza are solid choices
always liked subaru but gas mileage isnt the best and they are either high mileage or over priced like a unmodified honda lol but ill have to look into one i see that alot of older ones a head issues due to open decks etc...
i had one was fun but got 12.6mpg city and highway and that my friend is a boner killer
I was looking into 1st gen pilots for myself as a DD..
Its a little more then 5k, but those things are awesome.

Is the safety rating a factor for your search? If you have priorities, make a list. This will help limit the possibilities.
For example, from what you've mentioned so far, here are your criteria:
1) $5000 or less
2) Accommodates three car seats
3) Good gas mileage
4) Good safety rating
Are there others?
