Well my car is now totalled. For those of you that don't know the story about what happened, it's in the miscellanious section. Look it up.

So here's the deal. I'm looking for a car relatively close to me, (aka less than 100 miles) P.M. me for my zip code, i don't want to jsut give that out. But if you guys could help me find a sweet car, under 100,000 miles (unless it's so cool it doesn't matter :P )


Thanks soooo much, i really appreciate it. I jstu can't seem to find a nice car. I've searched autotrader, and yahoo cars. Thanks!

i reccomend a sports car this time :)

or a luxury car?

possibly a coupe...

or an SUV

or a truck?!

maybe even a motorbike!

hope that helps? :)

how much you gettin to work with?

Yea money is the first issue.

Might I interest you in a fox?

No maximum price!? Tomorrow I will look for an Eleanor with 160,000 miles on the odometer, located in Zimbabwe, Africa on Ebay.

I'm not really from Zimbabwe, that was a joke....
By the way, can't believe I forgot. My max price is around $7,000 US. Around, give or take a few hundred.

wow

i could afford that mofo!!!!

and have 2 mustangs?!??! V8 AND V6!!??!?!

Or you could just sell the V6 to pay for it. It's not doing you much good anyway. Plus, you'd be shaving about 2 seconds off your 0 - 60 time and about 1.5 off your 1/4 mile.

Thanks for lookin, but that car did need a bit of stuff, and I'm lookin for somethin that I can immediately drive. I'm borrowing my grandpas Honda Element (which I hate. Glad I have a car, but hate elements) and need to get a car pretty quickly.

I drove one today.. feels like a truck compared to my car. Completely different driving experience.. I feel for ya man.

The Mustang looks good.
You might be able to get a 300ZX or 200SX for that money. I'm not sure with the excange rates.

VW Corrado.

You can afford it, plus some. You know how cool this car is, or do I have to tell you?

Porsches, Corvettes, Mustangs, Camaros. All of 'em under $10,000

Keep few thousand and wait for the Nissan Murago(spelling?)

Actually I'm just kidding...don't be so serious...calm....
If you are that budget...change to some Jap cars....they are fast and cool....

I wouldent go fox if your looking for a dialy driver.

the older Supra... the mk3 most of them are 3litre v6's with a turbo, there easily in your price target

or a Mr2 these are less sirous cars mostly with 2.0 but very nice lookin
these are even less expensive

^^Get the Viper thats only 99 cents.

A 180sx or 944 porsche avoid anyother "exotic" cars they'll just be wrecked

They are all shitty located though

Tonight I found a 1972 Porsche 911T Targa. It needs paint though, it's umm.... pink. But I can repaint it with one of my friends no problem. Can I get some background info from some people who know about it? I looked at it tonight, and I already got it down to 7,000, but i may need to go a little more.

Get it, please. Thats just awesome cause its a 911. However, I'd be saving up as soon as I bought that so I could have a beater car.

have no idea where you are located, but if you are anywhere near Northern CA, there is an 87 maserati biturbo spyder sitting in a barn in Palo Cedro. It needs a new top desperately. The paint is fading on the front bumper. The clock and stereo are missing from the dash, but it does run. It has not been registered in two years, but the guy will be thrilled to sell it. He asked $7,500 for it last year, but never sold it (there is no market for exotics in this area) I almost traded a harley for it, but the guy backed out, and kinda pissed me off, so I am not going to try again

naw, I'm in new hampshire. I doubt I'd do that deal anyways, the Maserati Biturbo has shakey reliability. But I like that car.

I just drove with one of my friends to go see it. Dumb idea because it's about 1/2 hour away from my house, but whatever. I'm excited, what can I say! It needs some bondo work, and the paint makes me cry a little. I'm gonna need some 944 seats or something, the stock seats suck. I need to pretty much strip the interior and wash it out, it smells like nasty old car pretty bad. I would also need to get a short shifter or something, the shifter is looser than my friends Toyota Tercel beater car. Bad. It also needs new drum brakes, no big deal. easy to replace. I think I want to do it. Lots of work, but in the end, completely worth it.

Good for you, you'll love the car so much more if you put some sweat into it. If you buy it post pictures so we can have before and after shots.

Thanks, I think this may be a full on thing I'm gonna do. I like this car, it's soooo PIMP!!!! (jk.) But really, it's awesome and I want it.

Good car.....fast one....You are those lucky ones....

I would go with the 911 Targa.
Or some of those cars that Tom K posted.
But really the Targa is a great car.

yeah I want that, but also, do you think it would be a good car for a 16 year old (soon to be 17) to have as a year round car? I do think it's awesome though.

Depends on where your living.

If you get snow, look for a beater car as soon as you can.

I can't seem to find any cars! The guys who owns the Porsche hasn't called me yet, so I think that's a no-go, and every single car I find is sold by the time I call or go see it. I can't stand driving that Honda Element anymore.

I kno what you're saying,I have someone that came to our family from my country,and he's looking for a cheap car also,cant seem to find any of them,their either to beat up or just not good....

Watch the roof. They leak. And can you handle an old 911? You wouldn't be able to drive it in the winter, really. Hell, the wet would be tough.

Naw, forget the 911. The guy selling it obviously doesn't like me or somethin. I'm thinking of buying a cheaper car and having a bunch of money left over. Like, go to an auto auction and get a car for 2 grand-ish, and then call it a day.

So what do you think you will find at an auction for 2k?

You'd be surprised. my friend goes with his dad and they find MANY nice cars for sale. He saw a car close to mine sell for 1200 bucks!!

The only nice car from an auction that someone has gotten and that I know,is a jeep cherokke,now that was a nice car,for its price/model/year...the rest of the cars I have heard about weren't that good...

Hmm. Well if I'm lucky I'll be going to a dealer auction, not an auction held open to the public.

A old 3 series would be good if you could find one.
For 2K that would be a massive bargin.

How reliable are they though? And are parts relatively cheap?

Ok, here are some cars I've found. What are your opinions on 'em?
http://boston.craigslist.org/car/132069301.html
An '88 BMW 635 CSi, WOW. It's an auto though, kinda a set-back, i love manual...

http://boston.craigslist.org/car/131647562.html
mega-gay interior, but pretty nice lookin car

The last one is very good looking on the outside,but unfortunately the interior is just...not good...lol.....,but really nice lloking on the outside though...

yeah, it is pretty cool. if the 635 were a manual, it would be in my driveway right now. Such a cool car.

mega-gay interior, but pretty nice lookin car

You only really need to buy some aftermarket seats and put some masking tape over the yellow bit near the gearstick.
I wouldn't get the auto.

yeah, that is a nice little car, but I'm wondering if I should get another Audi, for all wheel drive. It was nice being able to go up hill wathcing everyone else go off the road, or slide back down. A good feeling of control.

I would go with the 911 Targa.
Or some of those cars that Tom K posted.
But really the Targa is a great car.
Are you a moron?
I've looked heavily into old 911's.
They
1) Have huge repair bills
2) Have huge miles
and if, for some reason it happens to be in decent condition, it'll cost you around $18k-$25k. (For an SC...the others are so unreliable i wouldn't even think twice about it)

Be smart,
Get something like a 2nd gen Acura Legend GS. 6SP, 240hp V6, yes please!

^i think thats a great car too...acura legend, beautiful.

but...if u haven't noticed, porscheboy likes german cars...bet he doesn't even think about getting that car.

anyways, i like the looks of the lile 3 series bimmer. the interior is a lil suspect...but if u think about it, its an 88...u can either take ripped up cloth/leather, or that yellow and black leather/vinyl. plus its a stick, gotta love stick.

Dude, that 3 series would be nice as well. I really like the looks of the old 3 series bimmers. Find some old M3 seats and replace the yellow ones. You would have a lot of fun in the bimmer.

Kirstyn, I found out most of what you said a little while ago, and decided not to get that car. Especially since we jsut got over a foot of snow here, and I need a car that can go through that stuff. And teh Legend is nice, but I can't find any near me. No 5 speeds at least.

It would go with a 2.5RS, plain and simple. Small, good looking, good mpg, AWD, cheap, etc.

I can't find any near me, that's what I was looking for at first. Good idea though.

Cheap...in the US?
That was a joke, right?


Porscheboy, I'll keep my eyes peeled for some around here,
but a Legend GS with manual is VERY hard to find.
They're out there, but RARE.

This one isn't bad:

It's in NJ, so that's not toooo far.
It's just an LS,
3.2L V6, 200hp, 210tq.
0-60 in the 7's, 15's for the quarter mile.
6300Redline
3500LBS.
Not the most exciting car, not the newest car, but it's definetly affordable, and a very nice vehicle to get from here to there.
It's got some peppiness and luxury, though.

No it wasn't a joke. Quit being a f*cking b*tch. Every post I make you have to question or counter because I don't post the same car you do or its not "up to par" with your choice. Its getting old.
