You could get a used....MR2, integra, Mustang, Camaro, Civic, Accord, Celica, Supra(?), BMW 3 series, can't think of any others right now...

A used BMW 3-series for under $7,000? Ha! Maybe a '94 model with 120,000 miles on it, but don't expect anything newer than that.

Anyway, the rest of the list is pretty good. I'm not sure if I'd consider a Civic or an Accord "sporty", but they are nice cars. You might also want to consider a Mercury Cougar or a Ford Probe, if you like domestic sports cars.

Thanks everyone, these are exactly the kind of replies I was looking for. I think a 93-95 Integra may fit the bill, but gonna check out everything else that was listed.

early to mid ninety's Grand Marquis. You could buy three or four of them for 7 grand, and then you wouldn't have to worry about repairs (damn, my car broke down . . . lets just use one of the other three, then)

WTF? Did you even read his first post? The Grand Marquis in no shape or form resembles what he was asking for.

Yeah, the grand marquis seems more like the bonneville out at the street rather than what I want. Again, thanks everyone.
