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

e36 M3

intergra type r ?

2000-2003 acura tl type s

Yeah wish I could find one of those. That would be perfect.

First one is a rebuilt though. But I'm sure you can find ITR's for about ~12k. Take a look at the buy/sell section; there's a few DC2s for sale there.

Nawww...no way. :fullofwin: :troll:

good game ,

with evo 7 mod 8,500! hope he still has the car!

^lol at that rsx

hmm, interested in the rebuilt. but I am wondering what the extent of that "rebuilt" is. 2nd one, lol good luck getting 14000 "OBO no wiggle room", wtf?

tsx is suspiciously cheap. That RSX looks HORRIBLE. The Accords look nice though.

LOL ya i know hahaha

the 2003 accord is a good choice if u thinking about it, becuz thats something i would get with a 12k budget

heres another tsx

If you had a bit over 12k you could maybe get this prelude, it's pretty nice.

Ahh no way dude. I am not a fan of preludes, but this car also has over 300km on the body, and I'd prefer a stock car to a modded car. Plus, it's probably been driven to hell and back.

2003 and up honda accord is perfect
or rsx

Yeah, totally leaning towards RSX. Or maybe a cheap ass EK9 hatchback and pop a type R engine into it :D.

Get a camry.

And lol at "invest"

type s a spec

oh baby!

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? :D

hope this adds to your list of options, good luck!

Here you go. Quality car.

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.
