$5000, what should i get?
 

Hey Car Know-It-All's :)

i really dont know much.
up until recently i thought nissan skline was really kewl.
then i went with my 24 year old bro to some car park on a thrusday night, where everybody shows off thier cars.
and i got in a conversation about cars...
they were saying how good holden commodore is,
why do they have to be boxes? lol...

i like smooth, curvey..
and skyline sounds good to me :D
and i think girls who dont know much would like skline as well.

help me out, what do you think i could get for $4000-$6000?

Where do you live?

What type cars do you like? Ricers, V8 musclecars?
You looking for straight line speed or handling.
5 grand will not get you very much but answer my questions for a start.

5grand will get a nice FOX body Mustang GT/LX. They are great to MOD. Cheap parts and very fast.

Could also buy a old muscle car like a Chevelle, Camaro etc.. of course it will need a lot of work.

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

im not even 18 yet..
and i havent been working 6months ^^

i dont think i want a *muscle car. :/

i live in Queensland, Australia.

and i really dont know about cars
all my experience is from PS2games.. (Midnight Club3)

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

Ok...
How about a Honda CRX or Civic?
You ned to work with me here

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

You can't go wrong with a Mini IMO, they handle pretty well, they are very light, and are quite cheap to run, also modding is not expensive and not too difficult either. You can fit a 1600cc or 1800cc Honda VTEC in a Mini or Clubman with a bit of work, if you really wanted too of course.

Another great thing about Mini's is that girls love 'em :D (well they do here anyway).

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

The equivelent of a late 80's Honda Civic or CRX like Beef said. I personally like the 1989 Honda Civic Si. I'm not sure about the availability of Civic in Australia.

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

If you want a skyline...the best you are going to get is probably a 1988 or so Skyline GTS...or soemthing like that, maybe type-S. :clueless:

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

hmmm
hard choice.

maybe i will try save up till i acually get my P's.

that will be in about a year...

so i will have mabye $12000 saved...

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

skyline for 8 g's

better one for 10


UGLY one for 4

MORE

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

Don't get too excited about Skylines etc just yet... they'll cost a packet to insure (unless you're loaded then just ignore my boring old voice of reason :) )

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

i dont think skylines are the best.
they just look and sound good to people who dont know about cars :)
*most girls ^^

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

im no expert on cars.
i say save it for the car you really want, like me i was a Dodge Dual cab 1500 or 2500 with a Hami !

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

Some girls will surprise you ;)

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

I have no idea what the market down there is like for them, but I'm going to hav eto toss out... a Corvair.

Odd, but not exactly ugly. Rather the red-headed stepchild of GM's '60s fleet, and quite cheap my modern standards because of it. And now that I've gone and said my bit of lunacy, I'll return this thread to those who'd like to discuss the relative merits of Skylines, CRXes and whatever girls happen to find most appealing.

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

u should get a nice car and keep saving up money to customize it by putting stuff like front bumpers and whatever you want

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

Just don't rice it up with a ton of plastic, 5 inch fart can exhaust tips... followed by 2 inch pipes :lol: , park bench wings on a FWD car :lol: , NOS stickers and whatnot.
Ricers make Jesus cry

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

a nice peugot 206/ 306 second or first hand, there a nice driver but pokey

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

Why do you care? I mean if you're not driving the car, and lets say you're sitting in your oversized heavy V8 bucket... what does it matter to you what some other dude is doing to his/her car?

Just wondering. :D

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

dude, minis start at $20,000, and used, the cheapest i've seen is $15,000. unless you mean the old austin mini's, then that would need work depending on how much you pay for it. they'd be hard to find parts for is you live in the US.

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

What should you get?



More money.

Re: $5000, what should i get?
 

:agreed

A decent Porsche 914 can be found for $5,000.
