$14,000 Budget. Looking for Import car
 

Hi,

looking for an import car for up to $14,000.
Buying in the next 2 weeks.

Looking especially for:


Acura TSX/ TL (6speed only)
Lexus IS
2002 Or newer miata (except 10 year Anniversary model)
s2000
2006 + Civic Si (6speed only)

Open to offer, import only, no accident please.

you'll be lucky to get any of the above for that money in any kind of good condition

i have an 06 civic si in great shape for $17,500 - i would be willing to work on the price, but certainly nowhere near $14K (again, good luck finding a no accident 06 si for anything less than $16,000)

This fellow is about 990 away from my budget.

but i am checking what i can get with the price...

Civic Si..?

how about my integra type R...? ;D it'd be under 14 for sure.

that posting got deleted.. i'm just saying - you will not likely find good cars in good condition for that money - and don't phone up someone who is asking going rate and offer them $14K, that's just cheap and annoying

you'd likely have to get a rebuild title or uber high mileage vehicle to get in your price range

You won't find those cars at $14K (unless they are high mileage or rebuilt). Get a S14.

I believe there are 2-3 in that price range (clean as hell) too

i will go lower because of small cosmetic... http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...748678262.html

dont think u will find much for that price

s2k is the oldest car on that list and u prob wont find one for less than 16ish?

Go check craigslist buddy. I saw a couple of s2ks going for under $14k.

interested in an left hand drive 93 rx7 fd?

ya, buddy (sarcasm doesn't come accross on teh internet, but the term 'buddy' is so trashy and really doesn't help your point here)

240K kms & a US car - this car is worthless

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...760589228.html
another US import with >100k kms and still $2800 more than he's looking

this thread is a waste of time - the kids just going to phone up all the cars in teh $16-20K range and offer them $14K & to 'help me out on teh taxes'

waste of time

^ thx

I was wondering if he actually even looked at any of the posting or if he just wanted to let everyone know his e-penis is huge

i have a 02 infiniti G20 sport 5spd, pearl white... you can get it for 1/2 your budget.

IMO shell out a little bit more if u have to, and get one thats good condition.

in the long run it will/may save you a lot of headache

I have a widebody s14 with sr20det swapped if your intrested

I got an '07 Speed 6 in great shape that I'm letting go cheap(got Rearended in December, no frame damage, just panels, glass, paint. Anyone interested in a wicked deal on a fun car let me know.

i'm curious to know why us imports are bad to car buyers
yes they generally have higher milage but that's because they also do quite a bit of highway driving..and it's not like the safety and emissions dont meet canadian standards. The only plausible factor that may 'hurt' resale value that i could think of is the imperial units on the dash.

how about a 03 Mini S? pm if u are interested.

I have a 1996 mercedes c-class for $3000 and you can pocket $11000 lol. pm if interested.

a lot of the s2ks in the 14k range are pos...it took me half a year to find one that is in decent condition and not messed around with...
don't forget, the older the car the higher the possibility that the seller isn't the original owner and services and maintenance just gets forgotten down the road. Also note that the lower the price the higher the mileage it will have. For the s2k, this will mean you will start having to replace suspension parts (hubs, axles, diffs) and that costs quite a bit of money. so just keep in mind that even though the car is cheap, it is an old car with a long history and that will result in some unexpected maintenance that will cost you a shiny penny.

^ Well under $14,000

I'm planning to get a used s2k in 4 years time! Hopefully there will be some good condition under $10k by then :)

As for a used import under $14k now, would you consider JDM RHD's? Skyline GT-R 32 or 33s!

i'd get this one

I have an Evo II (RHD) with two sets of ultra high performance tires (winter and summer) you can have for $9000. It's an amazing car already, with $5000 left in your budget you'd have a beast if you dropped that into it. PM me if interested.

2003 Nissan 350Z 85,XXX kms, pm me
