| Decent used car for under 12gs?
for some reason I have 12k right now, and would like to invest in a decent used vehicle that can take me to point a and point b. I'll go car shopping tomorrow, but for now I could use some opinions as to what I should get. My requirements are:
fun to drive
preferably manual
under 150k kms
NO domestics
no rebuilts
12k or under. That's 12k for the car, or maybe you guys can recommend a 2-3k shell and 9k in mods that will make the car better. Cheers!
Right now I am leaning towards some used RSX Type S's

Here's my input.
RSX Type S
Civic SiR
ITR
Integra GSR
Mazda 3
Subie Impreza
It all depends on what you want.

RSX-s is a good choice, just too bad it doesn't have an LSD like the 06+ Civic SI's (pretty much share the same drivetrain otherwise)
so is an Audi S4 (circa 2000-ish), if you can turn your own wrenches
B6 A4
IS300
TSX
orrr.....$2500 civic, maxima, [insert other commuter car here] etc. and a 600cc sportbike, and a wallet stuffed with leftover cash?
hope this adds to your list of options, good luck!

The colour is so.... hideous.
01-05 Civics w/ a manual are well under $10k and fantastic cars, plus you'd have some extra cash for nice wheels, sound system, coil overs or whatever else interests you.
