I wouldn't say RWD is useless in the winter, it is simply more challenging

I do have to agree with going with a FWD. I had a 94 Honda Civic Si Coupe before. That was a very nice ride. Unfortunately at that time, there were no power lock or window option. I did have power moonroof though.

As far as the transmission, that's very personal. Have you driven a 5spd before? You'll have to try it out for yourself. It's definately a lot more fun to drive, but it's also (to some people) more of a headache, even though I really don't think so myself.

When buying a used car, see if there are service records to come along with the vehicle. That will tell you if the person took good care of the car. If you can find out whether the previous owner was male or female would be nice too.

Good luck!

I'd just feel safer and more in control of the vehicle driving a FWD in the winter (Or AWD for that matter

).

Plus if your car has a ton of HP and Torque, it's going to take some m4d sk1llz to drive in Winter (Although I am sure people with nice cars such as Supras and RX-7's aren't driving their cars in winter -- I hope).

We've got another high roller on our hands boys!

The QX4 is a beautiful car -- however a good SUV for winter driving will have to wait for me until I am making m4d bling bling

I think a 93 MX3 worth 8,800 better not have more than 90k km on it

yea, im trying to work real hard this summer so i can outfit my self with a car for going back to school. people can laugh and make fun of my ride..if i get one. and they can do all they want but i'll make sure i'll be doing some laughing when i get out of collage and such and be a high roller

and ya i drive my parents van, i like big cars, but i also wanna learn how to use 5spd or any manual transmission cars and even a sports car or two, im trying to gain alot of experience right now because im afraid later on in life i won't be able to have time and help required to drive the other kinds of cars..(low small sports cars against the big vans/suv)

and sorry about all the threads well acually a few threads about cars and such, im tryin to make a good choice right now..i want a car that i can hang on to for a few years then once i make enough money i will get a new one all by my self again.

thanx for everones imput and if you guys have any updates or news or opinions drop a message on here or PM me with what you found. i'd be glad to hear it, especially about those good deals on cars and such! thanx all!

oh ya edit here..anyways and when i get this car i will most likey mod it up a bit just to make it look nicer, and go faster..but anyways thats my idea..and it wouldn't make me look like a poser right? i mean all you guys are like 20+ years im thinking and then here i am 17 years old trying to mod up a car and such...but then again..im here for the same reason you guys are..the love of cars!

anyways this is what im thinking i could mod it up and when im done with it i could just pass it on to my sister or brother because by the time (1-3 years time) im done with it my sister would be able to drive and my brother would have his learners...sorry for taking up alot of space but i never thought buying a car would be so tough...anyways thanks all! its pretty late 4:30 in the morning..just finshed watching some cartoons hehe but ya im out. and i hope when i get my car and such i can acually see you guys at those meets i hear about lots..i always wanted to see your guy's cars and such in real life..never got the chance maybe just a look from the side of the road or something but ya anyways hhe im out now. peace all.

man....i was in the same situation as you, about to buy a car and shit after saving up.......but then yesterday my student loan app got rejected (cuz they say i make too much $).....and i found out my RESP does not mature till next year!!!! That means i have to use all my car cash to pay for University!!
FUCK! man..after working sooo long to buy a car and i get screwed.

Hopefully my parents will help me out with the car situation........but i doubt it as they want me to focus on school and shit.

calgary transit....for another year..

What's an RESP? I have all my money in a GIA that I can take out at anytime I wish and put in money at any time I want.

Can't you apply for some sort of loan at your bank (Your parents could co-sign it).

**dj_honda** · 08-08-2002, 04:40 PM

Registered Education Savings Plan.........its with the gov't
u put down a payment.........it collects interest and whatever u have, the government gives u 20% on top of that.....so u make more $ than a GIA.
The government funds this because u are using it on post-secondary edu for sure.......where as a GIA u can use for anything

the thing is it doesnt mature till next year......i don't really need a loan i guess.....cuz i have enuf cash and scholarships to cover the cost for this year....but the cash is coming from my car savings.

the bank loans take interest, 8.5% if it is under 5000. which means for example on a 2000 loan u pay about 100$

the government loans are way better cuz they pay u....instead of interest. so basically u don't have to pay ALL of it back, jus the designated amount

ah we'll see what happens

**RGAGT** · 08-08-2002, 07:10 PM

Take it to a mazda Dealer and have it Checked out best money you will ever by - The Car is a good Car if it has 96,000km or more make sure they've replaced the timing belt and Remove a Spark plug wire and see if it is covered in oil if yes willl new v/c gaskets replaced as well as plug wires

Just promise you won't slap a giant 'Bliss' logo or something equally stupid and ugly across the car.

haha none of that. i'll probbaly just do minor things like intake, exuast, rims, later on i'll get new kit and paint it all
no stickers.

**Ferio_vti** · 08-08-2002, 10:48 PM

Good man. No beats for you then.
If it comes with that stupid lip, ditch it and get a kit ASAP. I can't stand that thing. For some cheap ass reason, Mazda made it a two piecer.

lammer · 08-08-2002, 11:13 PM

thats if i go for that car, i can still look around hehe

im 17 ,own my own car and fully finance it , and ive done a whole bunch of mods to it

just all depends on when you start working , in my case 12, and when you start saving

all i can say is im damn proud of my ride

Edit.... and if you do inquire into the car make sure you take it to a mazda dealership and get a full inspection , compression tests too, for a full inspection it costs about 75$ but its so worth it in the long run

lammer · 08-09-2002, 04:27 AM

Okay i found a whole line up of cars.

84's -90 RX-7s
88-90's 240SX
88-90 CRX's
92-94 civic hatchback or coupe.
93-95 MX6

and if you guys have any other ideas of cars just let me know!!

oh ya tell me what you think of the cars and why.

**Ferio_vti** · 08-09-2002, 08:45 AM

I'd say RX-7's a bit too high maintainance...

240SX baby!! I've seen a few nice ones on Canadatrader, 92-93 for $9000-10000.

Honda's a naturally good for aftermarket parts. But very run or the mill.

Don't see a lot of MX6s, that'd be a good option for standing out too.

lammer · 08-09-2002, 02:36 PM

oh ya add the older model supras and celicas too !

**Ferio_vti** · 08-09-2002, 02:59 PM

Dude, I saw a used 89 Supra last night for sale, 146Kms asking $12500. Looks like it got a new paint job. 18inch 5 spoke Enkies. Damn sweet. If you want, I'll see if I still have the guy's number

lammer · 08-09-2002, 11:24 PM
