This winter, I should start to recieve student loans, and ----..and I was gonna try to pull a few dollars and get a new ride. Im going to wyoming tech, but im from indiana. -lots of road trips, plus me and my wife wanna try to see some of the sights that are out that way, while there...

Im wanting to get a new car, something reliable, and something to just drive, and comfortable for the road trips, while im in school. then when school is out, mod it.-but i want something that is somewhat fast...and has a decent look to it. my budget is about $4500

my list so far...in this order
88-95 civic with a B16 in it
RX7 turbo2
camaro Z-28 with the 6 speed tranny
maybe a mustang?-im not a mustang fan, but i could tolerate one, if it were the right one.
an older cummins deisel crew cab truck

what would you put on the list?

 

a nice clean eg with an lsvtec, i would boost it it has to be a 'dependable' daily driver, although, i drive my car more than 100 miles a day, so what do i know :P

$4,000
this is what im thinking right now. its my buddys B16 hatch, I/H/E....pretty much everything on its been rebuilt to OEM spes.

 

Looks clean. That would be good for $4,000 if it is in as good mechanical condition. At least in MN, you don't have to pay sales tax on it if it is 10yrs+. So that is a bonus also.

 

I know Mazda lost their shirts on warranty claims on RX7s; if you want something reliable and you're deciding between a RX7 and a Honda i'd say stick with Honda. :P

 

thats wierd ive had to that went to 130k while on th bottle for the last 15-20k..hmm my buddies went to 220k on stock motor.

 

yeah, its in pretty decent mechanical condition. pretty much everything on the car is fully rebuilt or new.

any other sugestions?

 

buy s 90-94 eclipse gsx or tsi talon.

 

You selling your old car mang? :P

I say an 88 CRX Hf with a B16, I/H/E. Some nice rims and lowered, and a decent sound system.

 

I have one at 160k still running fine. and it was raced for last 5 years. People just like to think they are unrelable.
