Aright I'm only 19 so money is limited to me unfortunatly. I am looking at spending about $10 Grand on a car.... only problem is I am obsessed and addicted to cars that are about $20 Grand :(

I am looking for a sporty WHITE car with the same type of look as my favourites: '01 Celica GT, Integra Type-R, RSX, '97 eclipse...

Anyone have any suggestions or know anyone selling in this range?

Thanks :bigpimp:

I dunno, I'd check the Marketplace if I were you. Here's a NA 1990 300ZX with a body kit for $9000:

Not a big fan of that car, but thanks for lookin for sure!

I think I am just going to keep my eyes peeled over at www.hotwheelsauto.com They have some pretty nice cars for about 10.... just not sure how often they get new cars and/or update thier website.

Or just buy a POS, and save up for a little longer

as t-im said, get an integra, and since u initially wanted a type r, try and get a gsr. u could find a 95 and up talon/eclipse in ur range without much hassle, but im not sure wut trim u r looking for. good luck with this, and let us kno how it goes.

That would be the smart thing to do. People told me that when I was 19 too, but I didn't listen. In hindsight, I wish I would have.

I know this is a stupid question... but I am pretty clueless when it comes to buying cars.... :dunno:

Is it possible to buy a 'new' 2001 integra? I believe that's when they stopped making them??? Can I goto an acura dealership and get one or did they just flat out, stop making them?
If I can get one, how much do they typically start at?

Thanks, sorry im retarded

hahahaha if u could wouldnt it be a 2005 integra then. its common sense u can not get a brand new 2001 integra

I dont mean straight outta the factory new... i mean unused 2001's if there are any? Like maybe sitting at a dealership or something... just curious?

if a dealer had leftover inventory from that long ago..then technically yes. The possibility of that happening for a car like a Integra - not likely

Get an old school Volvo station wagon for say a grand or so and then fix it up. This way you have a car to haul your friends and you won't get raped on insurance (well, not as much). That or an old 510.

I am 19 and was just about to start a new thread that involved me looking for a new used car for around 10k... weird...
In the same trouble as I am. Although it looks like Hot Wheels has some good deals... none that i want right now but I wont be buying till around August or so, so it works out.
I was looking at the newer model Jettas. But I have heard mixed feelings on their elctrical and reliability problems.
