Question $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
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.

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 (well they do here anyway).

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.

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.

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 )
