So you have 4 grand...

[5.9 R/T]

Yes, it's another "what should I buy" thread, arn't they exciting! Anyways, just finished selling the talon, the shitbox (323) will be sold within a month and after all is said and done i'm going to have about 4 grand to spend on a car. I'm only interrested in 4cyl cars perferably with 2 doors. I would like to keep mileage aroud 200 000k so i'll probably be looking at mid-late 80's imports or early 90's domestics. I'm not going to be really picky on this one, but i don't want another ugly car like the 323. Suggestions anyone?

LOL! Actually i'm looking at a 88-91 civ hb right now. I can get a decent one with low mileage for the amount of money I want to spend so they're right at the top of the list. Last year before the 323 I was looking at an MR2, the only concern I have with it is that it's mid engine rwd, and with no weight over the front tires it could be an interresting car once the snow falls. I was also looking at some accords, MX6's, 240's, corolla's, and golfs. That's all i've seen so far that fit my price range and what i'm looking for, but I really can't pick one that I like much more then the others. I would love to get a gen 2 teg but the decent ones are about 2 grand out of my price range, and the 1st gens are about the ugliest cars i've ever seen! I'm not looking for a project car here, this is just a cheap winter car that I will probably end up keeping for a few years (yeah right), but I may end up doing some cheap home depot inspired modifications later on down the road.

hrmm...well if you have $4500 you can buy my Merkur.. If you go to my website you'll find all the info on it there.

BTW the wheels are sold..that's why the price is dropped to 4500.

with 4 grand, you can buy a great shaped one with less than 150,XXX km's, put the other grand into the engine and be into the 13's with ease.
