Car shopping....

I need some help/direction...I'm in the market for a new vehicle, I'm about to sell the accord, I just cant stand it anymore. I don't really know what I want to buy though. I've been looking at everything from integra gsr's to police interceptor crown vics (not quite a sport compact) all i know is I would like to spend about 4k, it needs to be a manual this time around, and hopefully around 120k on the odometer...I would like everyones input on this, oh its going to be driven daily also so no true project cars! So what would you buy?

Here's what I have been doing and it's worked wonders.

Since you are local get on the following sites and make WTB threads. Search their classifieds and PM people like crazy.

www.tampaforums.com or www.tamparacing.com

www.importatlanta.com

www.driven2modify.com

www.forums.racingpensacola.com

www.fighters-garage.com/forums

Also, use the obvious like:

www.autotrader.com

www.mautofied.com

www.craigslist.com

www.cars.com

www.ebaymotors.com



Other than that, look around, man! I finally found one locally after a few months of searching! You've got plenty of options with $4k.

Thanks alot birdy looks like I've got some work to do! Did you ever pick up a 240?

I also forgot to mention I'm looking for something stock.

Yessssir! I am picking it up tomorrow at noon. I would post pictures but with the current wheels and lack of drop, it's not worthy.

Awww Come on lets have a sneak peek at it

Only one:






Annnyway! This isn't my thread so OT: Get on those forums and devour the classifieds. Tampa forums and Import Atlanta are like automotive gold mines.

Heh, I want one...

So get one! I'm paying much less than $4k if you catch my drift. Hah, get it! Drift!
