Thread: What to get for around the 10k figure

This may sound silly but a mate of mine has a r32, so I don't want one. I don't really care for speed that much, more handling and of course looks which I believe the 944 is a key player in.

Don't know how I double posted but I drove one around the other day, and they're fantastic.

Wow you REALLY like the MX5! FWIW it got my vote too.

^^ there is a merc C32 for 15k on carsales right now.... walk away for 13k perhaps?

what about the r32 skyline? 4 pot brakes, reasonable driveline, simple cheap mods will get you 250hp at the rear wheels. infact for around 10k you should easily get one with that power. 944 would need to be a turbo or 3.0l imo so could be out of your price range.

Nissan 300zx, have heard they have issues but not sure whether they're verified stories. Nissan 180sx,...

(For that matter, $10k can get you an E36 coupe these days...)
