IF I were to find one in good condition I would definatly consider it!

Hmmm.... thats weird, I just looked on autotrader.com and there are atleast 6 on the first page of results within 50 miles of my zip code.... http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/search...lor=&x=111&y=7

Also.... You can rag out mustangs... thats what they are built for, as long as the car hasn't been redlined often, running it hard won't hurt it a bit.

Problem with the while TT thing is it cost about another 1/3 of the price of the car.. in other words, I would love to see it to it just wont be on my car :o

I see ZERO that fit exactly what I was looking for , apparently the teal one sold. again due to my specific circumstances I can not get a car over 25,000.00 on the page you listed there were a few, they were NOT under 25k, i can call on the "unlisted" ones and check but I have a feeling they are a bit more then im looking to spend.

My dream car... 06 RSX Type-S
12-23-2005, 02:35 PM
Vteckidd

newer than 2000
under $25,000

I would choose:
1) S2000
One of the best handling cars ever made. Spirited driving is a must in this car, and it begs to be driven hard. However its cramped space i hear for long driving periods.

2) RSX Type S
Beautifull car, great handling, great looks, great comfort. Very quick car, awesome interior IMO, Honda reliability, Easy to mod and make fast with minimul cost and no sacrifice in reliability.

3) 01 ITR
A legendary car. Very underated for its age. Great handling car, great Honda platform, reasonably priced, very hard to find one with low mileage however. ask any ITR owner, they are great cars. very well BALANCED.

4) 01 Camaro SS
Last year for the production of the camaro. Not a great handling car, but it is FAST. 330hp on tap, easy to mod and make fast, so so interior. You can tell that chevy focused on the engine, and didnt touch the 1985 interior. However, they are very cheap, and have held up pretty well. i have a friend that owns one.

5) FD RX7
I know tyou said newer than 2000 year, but it is one of the best looking and handling, and faster cars of the 90s. even by todays standards, its stil considered a super car. YOu can find them with low mileage and in great shape, due to their loyal following. I would be weary of their track record however. some of them have been known to be maintanence whores. but my uncle has one, and for the last 5 yhears he has had NO PROBLEMS with his what so ever.

other than that, i think the cars i would want are way out of your price range. i dont know what a 2000-2003 Vette goes for, but it might be something to look at if they are within that price range. G35 coupes, i have a hard time believing they are under $25,000, even used. but i could be wrong.

I have always liked the R32 Golfs, but you already have a VW so nevermind.

Edit: i would NEVER by a mustang lol, i respect them, and there are some nice ones out there, but i dont think i would actually buy one ever.

Oh and i forgot:
Subaru WRX- you can get 02-03 base models for under 20K. STIs can be found withing the 25K price range if you look hard.

Mitsubishi EVO-no need to explain

That's false. Last year of the F-Body was '02. That includes Camaro and FireChicken.

Fair enough. So you still want to check mine out tonight?

Lots of cars decent Pre-Owned sport coupes, compacts and luxury sedans fall in that price range.

Good Luck

i would go with a 03-04 cobra or a EVO. matter of fact i know where a 03 EVO is that been taken care of. if your looking for one. the cars never been to the drag strip and has never been launched. if your interested shoot me PM.

03-04 cobras make rediculous (sp) power with little mods. i got a friend that just bought his 4th one yesterday and they all made 450-500 easy.

my friend has an SRT4 and he said that the parts for it are cheap as hell to do stuff to it, so that would be my vote...and it's still a 4 door...

I almost got an S2000 myself last year.

In that price range I'd go Evo or STI personally.

S2000 is great, but only if I were to build the motor for single-turbo.

I would say a decked out S2K looks a heluva lot better than any Evo or STI, though. And LAST YEAR, S2K's with maybe 30k miles were roughly 18k, so an S2K is def. in your price range.
