I am looking to buy a first car. My dad and I will be comming to calgary soon to come and look at cars so I want to see what people have to offer.
I am looking for a:
1991 or higher MX-3 Precidia (GS but doesnt matter to much)
>>1990 or higher Integra coupe<<
1991 or higher Celica
1991 or higher 240sx or 180sx
1990 or higher RX7
1991 (the newer style not sure of the year) Prelude
1988 or higher Mustang 5.0
1994 or higher Mustang v6

I know it will be hard to find some of these cars for my price range but you never know. Thanks!

Any other import that is both stylish and in good condition. I live in Medicine Hat and will travel down to Calgary to look at cars if enough intrest is given. Thanks for your help.

p.s No civics please:thumbsdow

1992 RX7's go for like $18,000 plus, 93 Preludes start at $6500 and up....ya, better figure out your list a bit better.

If you do get some of those cars for 3500, expect to spend ALOT in repairs. 3500 is pretty low for some of those cars.

Yea I know I wont beable to get lots of them for the price I want but you never know when you could find a good deal. I had a MX-3 lined up for cheep all i had to do was a bit of body work but then it got t-boned, damn this bad weather. I do appreciate all your responses though.

why do you want an rx7 higher than 90?

12-29-2004, 03:41 PM
Because i think the older style is ugly :nut:

'93 Probe GT w/ JDM KLZE
5spd, a/c, pw/pl/pm/ps
white on blue interior
tinted windows
alpine headunit
alpine 12" subs (2)
pg mono amp
rf capacitor

220k on the body, roughly 50k on the engine. I think its even lowered a bit, seems alot lower than most Probe GTs. Very quick car, fun to drive, and its a pretty sporty look.

It's in pretty good condition, couple holes in the interior and a dent on the right front fender and tiny dent in on the right rear panel.

Overall, a great first car. It was my first car, I had a Jeep before and I loved driving this car.

I'm looking for $4000, which is just a little higher for your range, but its definitely worth a look at. PM me back or call me @ 863-7041, my name is Scott.

Hey man just checked out your thread. Like people have been saying some of those will be hard to find for that price, BUT, there is one IN TOWN that you might wanna take a look at. If you check out Park City Toyota they have a 1990 Toyota Celica GT-S for sale. Its a silent auction I believe, its got less than 100,000 kms, interior needs work, and it needs a battery. But it is DEFINATELY worth takin a look at I believe. Just letting you know one of the deals around town. I drive a 1992 Toyota Celica GT-S so I can relate to your love for em. Goodluck with the hunt.
Later

I'll have a look at your thread (I think I've seen it before) but i'm not to keen on the older MR2's i think they look like RC cars. But I have a friend who really likes them so i'll pass your thread on for you.

If you are interested in a celica, you know this does say OBO right? Meaning or best offer? So if you offered $3500, he might take?:closed:

Considering it needs some work done to it as well you could probably get it for less than $3500, but good find Faint ;)

Scott, a friend of mine was selling a 91 GS for $3000 before..

Was maintained well, Great shape, Not sure of the KM's tho..

I'll talk to em for ya..

Actually he doesn't, he's currently over at MHHS. Either way, I'll try to see what I can do.

In regards to my sale, I'm not sure if you've seen yet or not but some jackass sideswiped me coming up the Crescent Heights hill there. It's not very much damage at all..Just a few dents in the rear quarter panel. It'll be gettin fixed right away here then I'll probably put it up for sale in the spring.

Anyways, best of luck to you and I hope you find somethin' good.

By chance is it red ish or teal i think i saw it with something on the back window, definitly talk to him for me cuz i love them.

That sucks about your car. Is insurance gunna cover that or do you have to pay for it out of your own pocket? A buddy of mine drives a 88 prelude (at our school) and the friday before winter break some one nailed his car in the parking lot and took off
