6G Celicas Forums

so if uve read my previous threads on my celica.....its time to part it or sell it
anyways i will probably have a budget of 10grand for a new used car
Ive been thinking about s14's, RSX-S, mr2, srt4, rx7, WRX, EVO, miata
but then again I am going to be going to college
and need an efficent reliable car that doesnt break down.
also SPEED!!!! AND HANDLING.....i wanna see speed for myself compared to the celica lol...though handlin was amazin for FF
let me know what u reccomend...... ! 6gc has taught me a lot

My car! Scratch that. I'd like for my car to stay in one piece after it sells.

Get a mustang. Cheap RWD power. And when you crash it, you'll be doing the world a favor.

Please do not put yourself behind the wheel of any of those. You will wreck it.

Not to mention your not going to get those for under 10Gs; aside from an SRT4 or Miata.

Ge the evo!

/Ilovemrgrape

you could prob get a nice prelude for 10 grand

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP PEOPLE................................... not lol
seriosuly =[ so far i like the evo the best but its gonna be too much

is300?

mustang!


it has enough power so you dont have money to mod it to be fast.

its rear wheel drive so its a whole lot better handling then all those FWD cars you posted. (ok not better handling, but a whole lot more fun to drive)

and its way under the 10g marker.

Why don't you take that money and get a Certificate of Deposit.

OR

Take it and put it as a down payment on a NEW car that way you wont have to WORRY about that kind of stuff.

Buy a NEW car and SAVE money till you get OUT OF COLLEGE and then spend ALL THE MONEY you get from your new job on ANY CAR YOU WANT.

Seriously, I bought a Honda Fit. Handles like the Celi, and is brand new. Cost me 17g otd, 13g financed and I have payments of about 250 for 4 years. (special rates)

o0o did you get a Sport?! I'm considering a Honda Fit! =D I'm in love with those things!

I say you go with the Mustang idea. i love them, they are fun to drive. but.... do NOT wreck it. i'd much rather see a Civic bite the dust instead...


just my .02.

PS. Miata's are alright too. but only a two seater.

Have Fun!

Lexus SC300. A cheap luxury car with the non-turbo'd supra engine (also RWD). Could probably get one for about 5-10k easily. they also come in V8's (SC400)

get a S14, FC3S or AE86. Nothing beats cheap RWD power.

I know up here you could get a HCR32 (Nissan Skyline GTS-t) for about $8000

Also, F the WRX. Get a 2.5RS. I know that sounds rough but when it comes to Subaru you want to go for the lightest platform. You can always swap in a wrecked WRX's engine a few years down the line (since most people who drive a WRX drive like a tard) or turbo it but IMO the GC is the most bad-ass looking Subaru ever. You could probably find a cheap 2.5RS and still have enough money for a turbo and some sticky tires.

Still with a 10k you have so many options of cheap power.



Okay, I might get flamed for this but... 88-91 Civic hatch. 1000-2500 for a good one, 1500-2500 for a B18C(170-200hp depending on variant), 1500 for a good suspension. That generation of civic is known for being super light-weight and being able to tuck a B-series engine under the hood. I know its a Honda and Honda's are gross but who can say no to 200HP @ 8,200 RPM from a stock engine.

i will take ur advice thanks!
sorry mustang but im asian and i cant be seen with mustang
gotta stick to jdm =p

hahah you can be seen with a mustang. Ken Gushi drives one

But then again its his Formula D car and he's being PAID to drive it.

Late 90's BMW M3.

^ abso-luckin-flutely. M3 FTW.

my new favorite saying

You have problems with a mustang but you are willing to drive an srt4?
