the time is comming, new car......
 

my car is about done im afraid to say, its about 142k, and ive got to spend at least a grand on it to get it running right, then after that.......what next? that, and im tired of such a big car. so i want to get somthing newer, smaller and sportier.

Im starting took really hard at eclipse's. i know what you'll all say, but the 97-99's are dead sexy. its just so hard to find a GSX, there all GST's (i want the awd/5speed turbo). im also looking at a 2000+ eclipse GT, 5 speed of course - only in black. the one thing im worried about on these is insurance, im afraid it will rape me

what else do you guys think? i want somthing a little smaller, sportier, and potential. SSEI's are to big, i do like 2 door GTP's, but somthing about the interiors, i like foreign interiors more.

i may get somthing nice like these, under 12,000, but i may just somthing cheap, like less than 5,000 which is the better choice sense ill be moving out soon, but i dont know what to get.

We'll have to hook up before you get rid of that. My car was under $4k ya know....

Performance, reliability, milage, comfort, features? What's important to you?

Keep in mind, those GS-T's will not be the strongest in the drivetrain dept though. Not bad at all, and it's not rice at all if done right.

Mikey are you selling the car as is?

not as is, ill fix the radiator, fix the bumper and im going to bring it into a suspension shop soon, it may sit in my garage over the winter while its being fixed

i know ill never get what i put into it, which is why the amps, rims, and possibly other audio stuff are comming out for stock stuff. i may have a a resonator put on to make it quieter, in addition possible the oem exhaust tips put back on, all depends

i really want a gsx, almost as bad as a 350z. right now, i think ill get somthing cheaper, like a 98-99 monte z34?? kind of bland cars, but drop them, gfx and there pretty sharp, if i can score a black on black one with 60k for a good price (6-6.5k)

3000GTs, all the turbos come with a stick, f-body maybe?

f body's and 3000gt's are too sporty, i just dont see myself driving one. im going to take a look at

98-99 z34's
4 door alero (ive seen a couple nice ones)
4 door grandam GT (always liked the exterior, not sure on the interior)
98+ regal GS (seem a little overpriced around here though) - fast, but kinda got that grampa image....


looks like i might be sticking domestic, since i cant afford the foreign cars i really want, i want somthing newer, low mileage and reliable, for a decent price, which those are all of.

my buddy just bought a 93 gsx with 60,000 miles that was posted on there for $4,400... and it runs 12.9's...

You can find older DSM's for 2k if you do it right.

Regals are my favorite 4 door 3800, but if I could have any, i'd get a Riv. Good styling, but it's two doors. :wink: A lil lower and wider looking, and sportier looking.

if i got a dsm, id do it right, 97-99 2nd gen, gsx, 5 speed, no point in getting a car "close" to what i want, like a 95 gst, when id just want to replace it

regal gs's are nice, but they seem a little high in this area, but that l67 is SOO tempting, so fast for so little, and torque...hmmmm maybe a drop and some rims will get rid of that grandpa image.

They can be pretty badass. Check out Your ride within the last month for my Midwest GP meet gallery.
