    Default what car to get?

    Looking for a new car, seeing as mine was involved in a serious accident tonight. Have about $6000ish to spend, looking for a RWD import. I know its pretty limited to 240s, AE86s, 300zx, rx7, Dont know what to get. Any advice is appreciated, or if anyone has any cars to sell.

    sure hope you have 6000 cash in hand or "replacement cost insurance" cause you aint gettin 6 from your insurance company unfortunatly. But I would go with the 300z

    while i like the cars you mentioned, and i'm sure you already know this, RWD isn't the greatest in winter...and god knows we have more than our share! but come summer it's a whole different story...point is that if this is your daily driver consider this fact too

    n if u want one dirt cheap
    id suggest lookin for an NA Z, w/ high ass kms and a worn out engine
    so its cheap as shit, like, 7 or something if its got that many kms, its probly leaking oil too, which on either a VG30DE or VG30DETT means may as well replace motor, so u can get em cheap
    and then for another 5500 swap in a fresh TT

    Black book value for the CRX is probably like $1500 or something!!

    we decided to not go through insurance. So he is buying the car off me. If we do go through insurance, he looses his licence. So i have the upper hand here, and will be getting more than what my car is worth, otherwise he gets screwed with his insurance for the next 7 years.
    I know RWD isnt the best in winter, but thats alright. Im prob gonna go with a cheaper AE86 for now, then save up a bit through winter, invest in some funds, then buy something nice in the spring/summer.

    rx-7 all the way....times 3.

    also look into an E30 M3, gorgeous car, awsome handling, and fast as hell.

    see look, clearly everyone thinks that an E30 or rx-7 would be the best bet, so go with one of those.

    Simple, get a 240SX and drop in the SR20DET when you have the $$$. AE86 is good too, very light and nimble but power potential is greater with the others, if that's what you're looking for...
