what car to buy
Im looking for a sporty good looking car with hopefully a decent amout of balls under the hood. With about 7000 to spend it'll have to last me through college. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance
|
are you looking for a domestic car or an import?
|
how about a E30 BMW ... like a 1990 325IS. It is a 6 cylinder & there are plenty of aftermarket parts available & it is in your price range
|
Not enough info. Front wheel drive or rear wheel drive? 2 or 4 door? There's lots of "sporty" cars out there. How about the MK 3 (second last generation) Supra?

There are many good used cars for 7 grand the question is what type of car??
Sedan,coupe,American,import,etc....give us some more deatails:) |
im kinda leaning toward import, but i want something new enought to last me 4 years with little maintenance costs
|
I'm not sure how much the average is, but I've seen early 3rd-gen RX-7's go for around 5-7k. The turbo models have a good amount of power, and a rotary engine will last a long time if you take good care of it. Make sure the previous owner took good care of it.
|
Nissan 300 zs with the T-tops are cool. Also volkswagen corrados are nice. I personally like BMWs, but the insurance as a student is kind of high.
|
Go get yourself a nice used Acura. See if you can find an old Legend Coupe 89 or 90. They look good and as long as you keep them serviced on a regualr basis they will run forever.
|
i dont know what you should get, but definately stay away from like, 87 cadillac eldorados ;)
|
VW Golf VR6. If the previous owner took care of it, it should fit the bill. I have no idea what the pricetag is, but its a V6 engine in a tiny package, so it can't be all wrong... Oh, and I agree with elwoodblues43, stay away from the caddy's.
|
bump for the 300zx ..
|
I'd look at the 300Z TT, or even the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4. Some Camaros and Firebirds can be had for that price as well. Good luck!
|
ive never seen a VR-4(which is an all-wheel drive, twin turbo car) for 7 grand or less... that was not broken or on its way to being broken......i just checked Kbb.com and they said the oldest vr4s which is a 91 with standard options was 9,5000
I wasn't completely nice so part of my post was edited |
easy no children....lay off the strong talk. We don't need another car debate of name calling. That never ends peacefully.
|
How much are 240sx's going for these days? RWD, decent power, lots of aftermarket.
|
darn edits
|
240sx
|
If you live in the USA I suggest an American car, it's better than supporting the people who let the 15G's float out of the US economy into Japan's just so a bunch of Japanese guys can have more Sushi with dinner.
And there are plenty of American decent performers out there. |
