cooly’s teg is only 2500. It looks like a decent car. When i was 17 i had a teg and insurance was just over 150 a month… not too bad.

This is a car that looks good, and with a few bucks you can make it fast. For a little less then $1000 in parts you can make it LS/VTEC and it’d be a fun car to drive around with… save another 2500 and build yourself a decent turbo kit and you’re good to go 🙂

a first car is a pointless thing to overthink. get yourself transportation and thats the bottom line. once you learn how to drive on a POS and learn about maintaining a vehicle, THEN look into buying a real car to tinker with.

a perfect first car would be my 96 saturn SL2. it has the largest avaliable engine and is a blast to drive + it has 4 good condition snows on it.
