no offense but you cant really afford any of those cars, not a nice one any ways. In reallity you would only have $9K to spend because you are still going to have to pay tax and licensing which will be close to $1K on $9K.

Maybe a dirty title R? The other 2 are either going to have a million miles or also be dirty title/hammered on for you budget

Op never said what he was using the car for, so im gonna asume that it will be for looks and maybe a couple of street races Like someone uptop said you wont find a type RRR that is clean as hell for 10k ( i might be wrong tho) the rsx models are ok cars when they are done right. dont know much about s2ks exept that they are really good track cars. Either way good luck with what ever you get

if you are looking to modify the car, then the cheaper you buy the actual car for, the more you can spend on upgrades. a stock rsx or s2k, or a sick modified dc2. its up to you.

I think you wont find any of these cars with less than 125k miles for around $10k, if you're needing a new daily driver and you see snow at all throughout the year, RSX for sure. S2Ks are the sex but not practical in snow/severe weather and if you got a type r that you're gonna cruise through the same than you'd just be ruining it. B like everyone else and buy a civic, k swap it and toss on some suspension and wheels and break even on ur original $10k budget.

Just my 2 pennies.

Sorry just saw u live in Cal so go S2000 but shop ur *** off and get one with low mileage and good luck with insurance!

if i was you i would go with an s2k if i found it for 10k and it was in good shape. that is not thinking about anyone but myself. for example, s2k is a two seater, also daily commute, where you live, things like that...but overall s2k all the way!!

like everyone stated; 10k is good money, but unless you plan on getting a rebuilt title'd R or a rebuilt titled s2k or a clean title'd one with a crap load of miles, i think your gonna end up just with a dc2 and dump money into it.

Obviously you have never bought a more expensive car before because if he trys to say he paid $500 for an 04 S2K the state will just go off of what they deem the value of the car to be. You have to get a writen state ment from the seller stating WHY the car was only $500 if you choose to co that route and any of those cars better have been in just short of a fire to be valued at $500. Besides if you cant afford the taxes on a car you shouldnt be buying it any way.


To any one saying they can find an S2k or RSX in good shape, clean title and low miles for under $9K LMK and I will cash it out.
