Car suggestions for $8K

[teggypimp95]

If you had 8 grand to spend on a car, what kind of car would you get? I have been carless for like a month and i have a 8 grand budget and i am so stumped on what to get, any ideas would help! (no RHD cars thx)

[teggypimp95]

No ideas?

get a honda/acura :dunno:

[teggypimp95]

Yeah i was thinking that. Just having troubles. I just came from a fast car and to drive a civic or something is going to feel so slow... but maybe i have no choice with that small of a budget?

[PINOY-X]

well i came from a faster car to a slower car ... but i like my new car ... with 8k u can get other faster cars

Buy something cheap and mod it with the leftover cash you have? :D

for 8 grand, you could probably find a decent gs-r..

u can even get a 240 with an sr20det alrdy

[teggypimp95]

Ya i thought about 240, but i kinda want something with airbags. Gf and i like to drive to bc and stuff.

[PINOY-X]

jsut go with the civic/acura .. itll be good with gas + airbags

get an old volvo 240.

Check around Alberta/BC/Saskatchewan or even the Northern USA states and look for a 90-93 Celica alltrac.

200 hp/torque
Turbo
AWD
All power options
10 speak system
Sunroof
Most came with airbags.

May be something you wanna look at? I'm lovin my GT-Four and would recommend it to anyone. Luxery/sporty cant be beat.

GT4 st 185 's are sexy to 165's not so much :(

buy my legend, awesome highway car. I drive to BC alot too

[calgarygts]

I just bought a 94 celica for about that much, I'm really happy with it. I also have a 90 corrado I want to sell (don't need both cars) with quite a few go fast parts on it for less than what you're looking for. If you're interested let me know (and I feel your pain about the going from fast to slow - been there before).

What about a mid 90's Maxima?

[teggypimp95]

Ya i have my eye on a 98 se maxima. Waiting to hear if its still for sale. What are they like to drive? do they feel like a boat?

[bigbadboss101]

I had a 98 and 02 Maxima SE. Roomy, fast. They are sedans so you don't usually scoot around corners like you would with smaller cars.

Recommended for sure.

Definately not a boat. The suspension on the SE is a little stiffer than the GXE and GLE. It's a nice ride.

you should be able to find a real good condition e36 bmw. Check vancouver, they got real cheap bmw's...
