    Default I need a manual car, that a 16 year old could drive for $3000

    I would like it to be good for insurance on a 16 year old, and I don't care if its a 4 door or two door.

    I would like the car to have some aftermarket support, doesn't really matter though. Please no former project cars, my dad would never let me get them, but maybe a lightly modded one?

    It has to be under 150,000 miles, and the car owner has to let me test drive it first, even though I am not the best at driving a stick, but thats why I need the car.

    I have a 1992 Accord LX Auto Sedan so trades welcome. AIM me at fastboyamin, email me at [email protected], or post up and PM me.

    Anybody that has a car gets +rep even if its crap and its not what I'm looking for.

    Thanks!!

    Friend is selling a 1988 300zx, n/a, 5speed.. it just has high miles... he will let it go for $1800, and if you really wanted to, with the extra money you could drop another VG in it easily (if you really fear the miles, But it runs Awesome)... looks great, runs great, fun to drive.. well maintained... let me know...

    I say start with a civic or integra. Maybe a 94 or 95. If the mileage is high, don't worry man, its a honda. My first car was a 95 accord and I ragged the shit out of it, barely caused me any problems. 120-135k is a good range to buy a car in if you have a budget to stay in. That way you will probably run the car to about 200k and then might want something different. Learn manual on a cheap car and then later it will pay off. Now that I know stick, I'm ready for my s2000

    An Integra will rape me in insurance, but a civic is slightly more viable.
