hmmm, just a question..

[lammer]

okay guys say you have aprox. 30ish grand to spend on a new car. which one would you get??

im still in look of a car but i dont know what to get..hmmm.

[buh_buh]

I'd get a Prelude.... haha. actually, if I had $30k I would put down a downpayment on a s2k and start paying it off. haha.

But I wouldn't spend all the money on a car, I'd spend most of it on the car and the rest of it for mod money.

haha, but then i can't like choose a cheaper car and buy mods, because my parents are helping me with this, ill be paying half the monthly payments and such. and i just wanna get a nice car that will be very reliable and i can mod after once i payed off the car.

oh buh_buh you have pm.

[boi-alien]

throw in an extra 5-10gz and pick up a used s2k and you'll be :bigpimp:in

haha dude man you still know that i can't drive a stick, and ill prolly end up crashing it and hurting myself..im not that crazy haha. hey pm for you too.

[buh_buh]

you can always learn man!
$30k is hard to find a car, because most cars are either $35k+ or like $20k.

[boi-alien]

yea for a new car $30k is kind of an in between number... it's hard to find something in that range... like buhbuh said, they're usually $20-25k then it goes to the $32-35k range

don't you remmeber that video of the guy who was pretending to be some sort of f1 racer in the s2k? and then he crashed it? ooh GG for him haha.

i can maybe talk to my parents about 35+ just means i have to work more hours..you guys have any other suggestions?

[boi-alien]

new, it's hard to find a car in that range.... if you had a little more to work with...

what happened to the CRV?

just opening up my options just incase i back down i don't waste time looking around for a car..im still intrested in the crv but i might hav ea change of mind later.

[boi-alien]

hmmm...

well kevin and them have said it already
for 30, you'll be in the range of a used lude...
used ITR maybe....
rsx base...
celica GT...

[Lo)2enz0]

if I were you I would get either a base rsx or a civic sir. celica gt-s are always nice as well.

Laurier

[4wheeldrift]

Could find a used Impreza RS is that range quite easily too.

[CRXguy]

buy a crx, mod the shit out of it....have some money left over....invest it and buy a house!

done!

:D

[buh_buh]

no man, $30k is BRAND SPANKIN NEW OFF THE LOT.
I heard there's still 1 more EBP Prelude auto at T&T:confused:

[GTS Jeff]

wtf, u wont drive stick cuz u dont know how? how will u ever learn then? fook man, i was testdriving a ton of crxes (all stick) before i even learned how to drive stick....haha

anyway, with 30 grand, id buy an sw20 and blow the rest of the cash on mods.

[three.eighteen.]

with 30 grand, you could buy a nice late s14, drop the sr20 and do s15 cosmetics...:drool:

[2.2vtec]

buy a cheaper car and invest the rest in something and then buy a car

[lammer]

hey guys how much do you think an rx-8 would cost.
Im just asking price range. don't give me bullshit like "oh you can't afford it"

[max_boost]

Ok I don't want to hijack your thread but I will anyway! haha
The question is not what car would you buy right now but rather is this car going to be YOURS? If it is that means you need to purchase insurance, so FULL TIME or PART TIME? and the REAL question is how much do you want to pay for insurance?

I'm telling you right now, if you are going full time by yourself and you buy a Prelude your insurance is going to be $8000, just something for you to think about buddy!

[max_boost]

And for $30K....the list is endless! What are your needs? You want a coupe? Sedan? You want a car for practicality or for looks? Performance? You want to buy new or used? Does brand name matter?

Part time will still run you from $4-5K under your parents name! I know because I was 18 a few years back and was pondering the same thing....I bought a brand new Prelude SH at the time and got JACKED for insurance lol:rofl: Well at least buhbuh knows how I feel haha:thumbsup:

[davidI]

Wait until the STi comes out and pick up a used WRX

[lammer]

Man, why would you tinker with something like that? Are you sure your parents or your insurance or your dealer would be happy with that?:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

For all that labor, why not just buy the Type-S to start with......:confused:

i have no clue man..haha i have no clue..


wait aminute..but then the civic sir is way cheaper than the type s.

i could always drive the sir for a while theni can sell the engine and get the rsx-s one??

[boi-alien]

the rsx-s to sir swap has been done, it'll fit, cause the sir is basically an rsx base motor. but the k-series motors are very expensive right now, because there aren't enough wrecked vehicles... yet :angel:

45-50k....

Same as a 350Z most likely.

[Silencer]

The new mazda RX-8 should be just under $40k for the 6 speed, 250 hp model and closer to $35k for the 210 hp automatic. But they are taking orders now for august delivery.

Of course with the 350Z being priced higher, i'm sure that Mazda will tack on $5K to each.

Wow, MSRP is $5000 cheaper than 350Z and $8000 cheaper than S2000?

[syeve]

you can get a 2002 RSX-S (no kms) for just over 30k at northwest acura right now...just go hassle them, worked for me!

yours is a 2003 though, how much you pay for that?

[4wheeldrift]

I figure the RX-8 will be mid- to high 40's. The RX-7 was close to 40k when they stopped selling them in the early 90's.
