That post was me being sarcastic. Eclipses are JUNK unless you plan on putting a ton of time and money into one to make it reliable. Judging by your posts you don’t seem to mechanically inclined. [http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55196&highlight=neon](http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55196&highlight=neon) By the STR-4 Neon I bet Jeremy would take 12K for the car. It is fast, reliable and will do everything you need. ---

Okay Im very undecided. The lancer doesnt really look like the way to go anymore with insurance and other costs. What kind of import do you think I should get? I dont really like hondas. For the car Im willing to spend 8 grand. ---

Well, you can have a chuckle when that neighbor gets laid-off and the 5 gets repo’d. Oh, and for the OP - be careful what you ask for. “Modded” and “reliable DD” don’t frequently go together. ---

In light of new information; spend 8.9k and get that WRX agy2k2 has posted for sale in the auto trader section. Its white, 5 speed, turbo, with plenty of possibilities for future upgrades. Someone actually bought that 944 for 8grand? What the hell? ---
