    Well just a set price doesn't give use any idea of what kind of car you want. I would personally save a little more.

    those people are nuts if they are trying to sell mkII's for over 10 grand unless they are 94-95 turbos with low miles.

    An MKII MR2 dor 7k? Not around here. Or else I'd have it. I can't find one for under 10k. I bought my 01 Corolla for 7k. I'd buy an old beater truck for 2k. A MKI MR2 for 2k and an 89 Starion for 2k and use the other G for tune-ups to ensure it's running it's best.

    Acura Integra GSR-they most likely more than 7k, unless it has over 100k miles on it, but that is the prob the best car for the money-absolutely beasty at high rpm..

    no such thing as an "older" wrx - wrx line started in 02. not gonna find one for $7k. Supra for $7k? maybe a mkII non-turbo. mr2 - sure, but will it be ragged to death? probably.

    Im looking at same options, i have the choice of a 7-8k car in a month probably. Or i can take about 5k and fix up my car. Dunno what to do. LoL. I have 95 rolla. If i were to get a different car, which i doubt, i would get a 91-93 MR2 turbo, or a Celica All-Trac, all wheel drive baby. Turbo, same engine as the mr2. Those are rare, but the 94 and shit goes for like 7-9k i think.

    An S14 240sx, 17" Rotas, tires and a Tein SS coilover kit. If any money was left over, I'd save it for an SR swap. Matter of fact, I'm scheming on ways to sell my corolla so I can do what I just mentioned. Bwahahahahhahaha!

    lmao uhh good luck with that the lowest an S14 runs is 4.5k+

    rotas anything on a 240sx won't quite work on the 240sx becuase of the high offset. Why tein you have a billion other companys to choose from. SR swap depending on what year will be expensive. Hurray for $1200-$1400 motors. Wait thats the S13... :rolleyes:
