Wut shuld one get worth theyre money

[maximus14433]

I was gonna werk this summer all summer full time landscaping, so id roughly have $4500 at the end, CANADIAN $$. I wanna get a car, wut kinda car shuld i get worth the $, but i want a good first car, soemthing i can tune minorly, small things a lil bit of body and help the engine go fast a bit thats all, anything that'll just look good.

I was thinking like a 1988-1992 Mustang GT or LX 5.0

1989-1991 Chevrolet Z-24 -- I always liked these dont know why, they kinda boot, the manual ones.

1991 Nissan 240SX --150hp, rear wheel drive for a cheap JAP car, not bad..

1988-1992 Pontiac Trans AM GTA --Big power like the 5.0 but no manual, I WANT MANUAL, unless I can add a manual tranny, but how much $ extra will that be?

Or like a 1989-1992 Honda CRX --Last resort........if nuthing else comes into mine

i know we've had our differences, but i'd like to help.
you have got some good uns up there already, i suggest these two to add though,
VW GTI, any generation is probably under 5000 if you can find one.
or maybe a Mazda Miata, good handler, looks neat too.

I'd spend it on a MK1 Toyota MR2. You could get a very decent one for $4500.

Keep in mind you'll need loads more to insure a car, whatever you get. After about a year, I'm sure you'll have spent at least 50% more than you anticipate, for whatever reason. Cars are not cheap to own, unfortunately.

Maybe you'll read this if you decide to come back when your temporary ban expires.

if you keep saving, you can get a 1997 volvo 850 for about $10,000 in the states. i happen to have one, and it is FAST. it does a 0-60 in about 7 seconds. it doesnt sound fast, but that's because we're used to numbers made by saleens, ferraris, and lambos.

Actually if your going to spend 10K USD, you may as well get a (95-98)camaro Z28 or a mustang GT, which do 0-60 in about 6 seconds, and are extremely eaisy to tune, with minimum modifications and huge power gains.

If I were you i would stay away from any CRX, or caviler if your looking for perfomance without spending loads of cash. My suggestion would be get something RWD, and mke sure you stay away from the fart cans...

i think it all depends on if you want a car with some performance, one that's very practical, or a combination........cough, volvo

do you want to be able to tune it?

complete lack of sex appeal?

[whiteballz]

hahaha well as that joke that was poseted in the jokes, as long as your hung like a horse you dont need a bmw! hahaha , the volvo is a strong sturdy car, very big and comfortable, as sweeny says, its fast. + ppl will get away from u when your driving. bloody volvo drivers, or is it just australia that labels volvo drivers bad?

[Sweeney921]

it's most likely true, if it means that they drive too fast, like me.

the volvo has comfort, reliability, and safety way over the heads of the camaro and the stang

you should take a look at a mazda miata. its rear wheel drive, its reliable, its a convertible, its pretty fun to drive.
