Well guys.. the celi is gone and I need another car. Currently Im driving a 95 C280 but its getting way up there in miles (250,000). So.. I'm looking for a new car with similar attributes to my old celica project. It has to be a turbo car, preferably AWD but I wouldn't mind a FWD car either. The car Ive been pondering about was a Eclipse GSX as it has very similar stats to the GT4. I can't afford any thing too recent like a EVO 10 or something, something in the mid to late 90s or possibly early 2000s will do. Any ideas?

If your going for something turbo, I'd go AWD honestly.

Either a little older STI or Evo. Or you could also look at something a little more low profile like an A4.

What's your budget?

Yea I agree with that. I really would prefer AWD.. FWD would be the last option. I'm thinking my max budget will be 15 grand. I'm looking to buy around august. Whats the stats on the A4? I was thinking about an evo 8 also or even the STI but im not sure of the prices for it.

Doesn't even have to be an STi. You can get a WRX fairly cheap if you look around. Quick, turbo, AWD. Can't go wrong with that combo.


Yea you're right its basically perfect. But the thing is, I hate the boxy shape of both the evo and WRX. The celica looked really good to me with the more round style. I even think the eclipse is better looking than bpth the EVO and STI. I just can't find the GSX model anywhere.

3000gt VR4.


I'll check the stats on it. Thanks for the suggestion smile.gif

late 1990's-2000 something evo or wrx are quite affordable. You can scoot one up for around 12 grand but thats where the problem lies.

All of those cars were driven by people who drove the piss out of them. In all likelihood you would be buying a 12000 car that is on its last legs. However if you can find one driven by a 30 year old head of the household then you are in luck cause it was used more like a daily driver with a baby seat and driven normally (like my neighbor does in his 2006 wrx)


2006? Wouldn't that year be well over 15 grand? I agree with what your saying. My friend wanted to sell me his evo couple years back and after the first test drive the car bogged down lol.. The majority of people that own them beat the crap out of it.
