YACT: Used sporty stick shift car for <=10k

[illusion88]

A 200 integra wouldn't be a bad find either.

yeah I can't find a civvie SI for under 10k anywhere. Everyone's looking for 11-12k. One more car I thought of. My friend just recently purchased a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. I rode with him in it and it's got great acceleration (at least compared to the other cars i've driven). It isn't quite as small and nimble as I prefer but it's def. got plenty of power. Anyone have opinions on this vehicle? It seems I can find some with around 70-80k miles for about 10k

Yeah looking back at your requirement, it might be tough.
Finding a SI under 60K miles for $10K might not be possible but it should be close.
Be patience and look harder.

Milage shouldn't be a main priority since a Civic will last you forever.

I have yet to find a Mazdaspeed Protege for $10K unless it has a salvage title.

This car with 78K for $10.3K and you can surely get it close to $9K.

WOW, heres a really nice one with 57K miles for only $10K.
Actually, I will be calling them in the morning for this car.

God don't get a civic...i love my '99 civic, but after driving a WRX it just feels so...inadequate.

But hey, at least it looks good.

The miata seems like a good idea for you. There are tons of accessories you can buy for them and they have a very loyal following. Check out this site...

It has nothing to do with price..it's just torqueless fwd versus insane awd + turbo. I dunno, I personally think the WRX is today what the civic used to be yesterday. And unless I got a steal, i'd personally stay away from used WRX's (gotta love their tranny issues).

Nice find dude. Unfortunately, I live in Jersey which seems to be the overpriced car capitol of the US I'd prefer to get a car in a location that I can drive to within a few hours to a) test drive it and b) avoid any transportation costs.

Connoisseur, i'm in NJ and considering selling my civic (not sure yet..I mean I love my car, but as you can tell I really want a WRX ). I bought this sucker in TX 7 months ago (the guy i bought it from is still listing it on autotrader)..interested?

 

[jaedaliu]

still shopping?

used civic, doesn't matter what type, throw a turbo on there, run low(er) boost to avoid excessive wear on the engine.

I drive a 98 maxima, it's great, but not exactly the most nimble car if you don't throw some money down for struts/springs.
