Ok so I’ve had a few topics asking others to tell me what car I want and I’m doing it again. I found some cars in my price range and have reduced the possibilities to 3.
There is a manual 1992 Acura Integra with 120,000 miles on the body and 22,000 on the new engine, a 1991 Toyota Celica GT but the guy didnt answer the phone so I don’t know if it’s manual or what the miles are, and there’s a manual 1996 Dodge Avenger with 90,000 miles.
I want the celica but it might have more miles than I want. I was wondering how many miles it takes until each of these cars start to fall apart and need rapairing. I am also wondering which one would be fast after about $1,500- 2,000 in mods.
The only decent cars within the distance that im willing to drive are thos eones. I dont want to spend more than $5,500 and I can’t get a mustang because I won’t be able to get collision on my insurance for it and I don’t feel like paying for it if I hit someone.
Remember when I said the only ones I could find around me were the ones listed above? Oh yeah I said it the time I listed those. Maybe you werent paying attention but I looked for a lot of stuff and COULDN"T find anything around me.
This is the first time someone said maxima so I looked for that and no dice. The only one had 121,000 miles.
i guess since you cant look more than 5 miles out of your zipcode you’ll be stuck buying some POS. but since you are only looking 5 miles out of your zipcode its obvious you really dont care about cars anyways / i went to delaware to get mine, and i know someone else in this thread got his car from somewhere like washington or some other crazy far away state
Considering the title of this topic, I’m getting an awful lot of retarded feedback from people. I didnt ask for sympathy, I asked what people thought was better of the three listed.
Sureshot really likes to say things against people considering how he has a 12 year old asian girl as his signature. Why would he have that? Is that him before or after the operation?
Or buy a V6 mustang or fbody and swap a V8 in it. That way you get the V8 power but only pay the V6 insurance.
Save and wait to buy what you want, not what you can find. You will hate yourself later if you dont. Also grow a set and be willing to drive to get a car. The chances of you finding some great car 5miles from your house are slim to none. I drove to NJ 3times to get my car. I was also going to go to IL to look at one because it was what i wanted.
Decide what you really want in a car, (straight-line? twisties? two-door, four-door? turbo? s/c?, etc., etc.,) narrow those options down into three specific models (Integra GSR, FC RX-7, Grand Prix GTP, etc.) of automobiles, then Google those cars to see if there are specific websites dedicated to them.
Learn what makes a used version of that car desirable/not desirable - tranny probs, headgaskets, brake issues, etc. - so that when you do decide to look at a car here, or elsewhere, you know what to look for.
Then hit up sites like autotrader.com and figure out what the cars are going for in the market. If it’s a drive to go look at one, make a roadtrip out of it with some of your friends and enjoy it. Get what you want.
That said, you’ll probably get the most bang for the buck out of the teg. Parts are plentiful and relatively cheap.
But yeah for 5,500 you can get a lot more car. I mean I bought my hot piece for 5,900 two years ago.
