OK...so I need a nice transportation car for my daughter, that she will supposedly pay me back for. Given past history, there is a 50/50 chance that will happen. Since I might end up owning it, I don't want just anything. I mean it might actually be parked next to a perfect original 914 someday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
I’m thinking in the $2-4K range that is maybe 10-15 years old. Maybe something worth putting a new engine in it if it came to that and is a cool driver. Perhaps a particular year/model Honda civic; maybe a particular Subaru that is fun to drive? Maybe a Volkswagen? I would love to hear all your suggestions. With your suggestion, how many miles will it should run before a new engine is likely? |

You may be able to find a decent YJ Wrangler for 4k, fun and tough as nails, just don't expect comfort (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) 4k would buy a nice Nissan 240sx if you can find one that the drift kids have not ruined yet... I really really enjoy mine. Mazda Protege 5 would be good choice on practical side... I was going to suggest a 240sx aswell. I had an 89 coupe for my first car. Dare I say it was more fun than my 911 even with the stock engine. and there are plenty of awesome engine swap options available |
