-1 for the E30
For $5gs you could pick up an E36,
You will want to look for;
1991-1994 Sentra SE-R …B13 chassis
1991-1993 NX200 (not NX1600)…B13 chassis
1995-1998 200SX SE-R…B14 cahssis
FWD, w/ LSD. $2000 for a really decent B13 chassis. $1500 in suspension, $300 in brakes, $200 in tires, $100 for a spare set of stock rims= $4100
That leaves you $900 left over to learn how to drive it…
u forgot the JDM engine swap y0!!! rb!!!
…waiting for you to flame me about how useless hp is
I think an NX is cool…as long as you can find one in good condition. I think they are pretty rare at this point.
The NX is cool if you want to drive a car thats ugly.
Are looks at all being considered here?
i kinda like early 90’s sentra 2-dr’s
older zx3 focus???
i would also say e30 (84-91 bmw 3 series) or e36 (92-98 3 series).
i prefer the e30 as its more of a “fun” car, but e36 are more pimp or flashy
heck, buy my e30 for 3k, but $500 into it to make it perfect, then have 1500 to mod
So you want a small fun to drive coupe with leather and a cupholder for $5g’s that’s reasonably reliable? How about…
+1 for E30 or E36 BMW 3 series
Nobody’s mentioned 94-98 Mustang GT’s (Did any Fox’s come with leather?)
you are really in love with subaru’s arnt you?
it seems the BMW’s are winning. I am assuming they are awesome to drive?
I’m not really to worried about looks.
thank you for all this information. i am looking into it now and checking out that forum. I like the idea of these because they are cheap, and I like cheap cars.
You will also want to check www.se-r.net
I have forgotten that it has a lot of good beginner info.
thanks, thats a great site, just what i was looking for. The Se-r definitly seems the better option right now. Now I just hope I can sell the Saab in the spring and find an Se-r around here.
Most are still higher than $5k I think.
Yup. Mine has leather.
