i paid under 13k for mine used w/ 28k miles... original price was probably around 18+k...

civic si 17+k 160hp
celica gt 18+k 140hp
tc 17+k 160hp

your not going to get another 4banger w/ more power untill you jump up into the 20-25k range, which would include SRT4. but in its price point under 20k there isn't another car that can get 200-250hp & 250-300lbs w/ 1000$ in mods.
