Hey guys,
I recently got a 2001 Chevy Impala, 80K miles, good shape and although I like the car, I'm looking for something a little different, a little more 'fun'
Keep in mind I am going to school and don't have 20k sitting around to spend. My parents are buying the Impala from me for ~5000.
I'd like a nimble car, something pretty light and low to the ground. Think Z3, Del Sol, S2000, Miata, Porsche 944, etc.
I'd reaaaally like an S2000. I've seen some go for ~8000 with a salvage title and others in good shape go for 10-11k and I can't convince myself to spend that when it really should be going towards school.
So I'm opening it up for your thoughts.
$5-8k, light, nimble, manual tranny, 80-140k miles (140 is pushing it), decent gas mileage (no V8's), plain just enjoyable to drive.
