For 3,000 if you want something that “looks nice” and is quick, you’ll probably have to do some type of motor swap. Could always take a 3400 V6 and swap it into a 1988-1994 Cavalier Z24. Just that swap is good for low 14’s. Or, you could be SENSIBLE (since you are buying a car to COMMUTE back and forth to SCHOOL where you will attend CLASSES to get a good JOB and buy a NICER car DOWN THE ROAD) and buy a Honda/Toyota that will not, I repeat, WILL NOT die with proper maintenance (oil changes). ---

My DD is a 1996 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 H/O with 170K miles on it, of which I put about 70K on myself. I bought it for $1000 and all I did was put new tires and a new exhaust on it. It still rides, and runs like it did with \> 100K. Never have any problems with it, and it will go anywhere, anytime. Especially in the winter. Lots of space, and lots of fun. There are a ton of these out there for sale, for cheap. Do your research. ---

Achou, you’re a fucking moron, you’re not going to get something ‘decently quick’ with ‘future modification potential’ and ‘looks good’ for 3k. Wanna know what you’re gonna get for 3K? A slow, reliable car that looks like everything else going down the highway. ---

Wanna know what you’re gonna get for 3K? A slow, reliable car that looks like everything else going down the highway. While, you’d normally be right, he might be in luck. The 2 or 3 prelude’s offered in this thread are decent looking (which is all opinion, he likes them, so they count), they are reliable as long as you change the oil, and I’ve seen 10 second full weight preludes. But yea, he is asking for a lot. ---
