OK. Im about to turn 17 in less than half a year. And, I've been looking for my 1st car for a while. I want a EG coupe/hatch or del sol manual is a must, for under 2000. Is that too low of a price. Because I want a car in GOOD shape. Is this a realistic hope.
I'm very confused lately, tryin to figure out if I wanna have a car right now and just get my motorcycle sooner.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

id say that you should try to find a HB that did not run. you'll get a great deal. then just fix it. you can learn a lot and by the time your 17 it should be running.. dont think you'll get much with 2000. unless it dont run.

Find a nice shell with a blown engine if you can, shouldn't be more than a grand. Then swap in a jdm d15b off Hmotorsonline for about $800 shipped. Problem solved.

Thats the thing. It has to run. That is a requirement made by my dad. If I were allowsed to buy cars that didnt run and fix them i could've had a badass 1991 rx7 turbo n have it fixxed by now. So it has to run.

yea im diggin the D15B sohc vtec. that is the engine i plan on gettin once i buy the car. n do alil engine work and prepare it 4 turbo. soo, i can brag that i beat some1 in a sohc d-series turbo car.

I dont think you'll find a hatch in good condition unless it has like 150,000 miles on it. Maybe save 2 more grand.

Yah, 2 grand is almost impossible to find anything you want that doesn't have an outrageous amount of miles.

try to save some more money.

tel l your Dad you need a father son project. and that your still to young to drive. and that time is on your side. lol worked for me when i was 16

you could probably find a coupe or hatch for around 2,000 or less. it would be hard to find a del sol for that price.

i bought my 93 si with 183xxx on it for 2050, decent condition for the miles and the z6 spun like a top. he was a prof at three different colleges and put 800mi a week on it for like 2 years before i got it. same one in my avatar minus the b16

EGdriva

y would i be a tool tht. that is an accomplishment. its the same as sayin "haha I have a 4cylinder and beat your v8". am i right or am i wrong. seems like the same concept to me.

rota power

you would be a ghetto toolbag because it sounds like you would be racing random people on the street and having an attitude like 80 % of the ricers/honda owners

maybe if you take it to the track and beat some wrx's or s2000s that would be an accomplishment

EGdriva

but, im soo far froom a ricer. trust me. stock body 4 me, bodykits=trash/extra weight, rotas. and, no random races for me. i actualli hate it when i race, b/c of the fear of getting caught. but, its just soo much of a rush. n ill go to the track on weekends wen time permites. closest track is about 45mins away. nashville motor speedway.

get a EF9 yeahz you would need a little extra money unless someone is willing to actually to give up there EH coupe for a good deal . .

EGdriva

EF arent realli my style. But, I'm starting to lean towards gettin a bike and slowly saving 4 a car.
