Best cars 8-10k$

[Honest_Bob]

Dont forget to take the insurance cost into account.

You could pickup a nice GC8 2.5RS for what your looking at spending.

[Foolinaround]

What do you mean bringing the car up to par?

No thanks on the 25rs,over priced imho

[Got Insulin?]

Mini. Cheap to own, really cheap to insure and it's plenty fun. Just saw an 07 S with 25K on it for $10K in the autotrader.

[BerlinaS2k]

As an owner of both an S2k and 350z, I'm suggesting you lean toward the S2k. By far...more fun to drive 'spirited' and probably more reliable with the higher mileage. In either case, try to find a clean 'unmodded' S2k if you have to go high mileage to hit your price range. Out of the box, it is an insane car to drive. If you have to do a lot of interstate travel...the Z is better.

Have you considered the MR2 ? Thats reliable and fun too.

Good Luck with your decision. Sorry you find S2k owners 'Douches". We're not all douches, and I wouldn't let that stop me from buying a car anyway.

Is300 ?

[Foolinaround]

not a fan of the altezza.
And not all of em are douches,just most of the ones i know are. Im pretty sold on the s2k,just gotta find one in my price range now.

i also say mini. i didnt think of that. who cares its FWD they are stupid cheap

[Sublime1304]

some cars that i can think of:

honda prelude
nissan 240sx (makes a great drift car lol)
nissan 350z
mitsubishi eclipse
volkswagen golf or jetta
audi a4 or s4 (maintenance is expensive)
S2000 (if you want a small car with almost no room to work with)
acura rsx
honda civic (too ricer for me)
honda accord
RX-8

...thats all i can think of

[Sublime1304]

...or pick up a base or sxt model charger. i love mine. ive seen some really cheap but with high miles. only thing is you'd be stuck with an automatic. just throwing it out there that the charger is a great car and fun to drive

[Foolinaround]

So you just threw it a bunch of cars without even reading what i wanted in the first post,and just did nothing. Good job.


Also i saw that s2k,i like. Gonna go home talk to the rents and see what kinda numbers we're running.

i love s2k's but idk if i could have one as my only car. they are really small and no storage at all. but right now is a great time to own one with summer coming up.

I have a few friends who have em,and they complain about space sometimes too.
But i see it this way
-I have 2 trucks and an explorer to use at almost anytime at home
-I never really take more then one other person
-Im only 150lbs of muscle and about 5'10" so im not a big guy by any means.

Anyone have any idea besides the usual autotrader/cars/etc to find used ones online,that are going to be somewhere between 13k and lower?

ohh nvm then. i drove one at work a few times and i looked like an ass getting out of it and im only like 5'7 haha

[Foolinaround]

My buddy sal even had a buddy club racing seat in it,which was a tight fit,but it was still comfy

[WHT_SRKOUKI]

buy this now!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.ecarlist.com/web/1501/veh...0-Honda-S2000-

[Foolinaround]

I was looking at it,only a few things wrong
-Its 2 hours away
-My dad wants to take it to his guy to have it checked out because hes anal,and it being that far,they prolly wont like that idea
-Its the first year the s2k was made.

other then that i like it.

[The_Paynter]

The WRX is fun. In stock form its 227hp, with a turbo back exhaust, catless up pipe, and an OS reflash it bring you just under 300hp (cheap way to do it, ebay TBE = $250 shipped in the US, bang the guts outs of ur stock up pipe, and get a tactrix cable on NASIOC.com used for $100 and use rom raider and ecuflash to put on an OTS stage 2 map)

Just make sure u dont get one that was beaten like a red headed stepchild because second gear is easy to break if you dont know how to drive it.

[VERTZX]

What about 300zx? ofcourse there older, but if you dug deep you could find one that was twin turbo with decent miles.. just a note.. and there mad fun to drive. i was also thinking about the acura rsx type s.. you could definately find a decent one in your price range.. i know you said impor, but heres a nice mustang on philly CL thats 6cyl turbo, it looks nasty.. just saying, good luckk

also something you should know. when you put it in reverse you have to push down on the shifter atleast the 2005 s2k's are that way.(i keep putting it in 6th lol wondering why it wasnt working haha)
