Q. I'm looking for a first car but I dont want a normal car or truck or anything typical. i was thinking about a vw 70's beetle, then i saw the karmann ghia. But although reviews are good for the karmann, they have some disadvantages. I still want it though. So are there any sports car types that i can get fairly cheap? $4 or $5 thousand. Or should i go with the Karmann?
Thanks :]
Thanks :]
Answer
70's sports cars:
Triumph Spitfire,TR6, TR7
MG Midget, MGB
Fiat 850, 124 (cheap, and unreliable)
Datsun 240z (not sure on the numbers of the z's)
Mazda RX2 RX3 (hard to find replacement engine parts)
Toyota Celica
Austin Sprite
There were others, these are the low end models. Some nice street worthy ones can be found in this price range. They are referred to as "thirty footers" meaning they look good at a distance but are not show quality. All require more then average maintenance, some are easy to find parts for and others almost impossible to find parts for. Some had a sedan counter part that handles very well, such as the 510 Datsun.

Answer
You have a sufficient budget for a good German sports car.
I would stick with an old model (1999 - 2004) E46 3 series. These cars are light weight, quick and handle amazing. They have a good class and bold appeal to them. If you look hard enough you will be able to find one in good condition and low mileage. Then you may spend your $2000 repair budget on some nice M3 rims and coil overs :D That's just my opinion.
Other than that if you want sport and luxury then an Audi A4. Nice looks, good engine and the 4 wheel drive system makes it handle great in any weather. Again need to look around for a decent condition one.
Finally if non of them suit your taste then I would say JDM. With 8000 you can find a really nice:
Acura RSX
Acura Integra
Toyota Celica
Mazda Miata (already mentioned)
These cars are easy and extremely cheap to buy but BEWARE that you will have to put your $2000 in beefing up the cars so they match the performance of German sports cars. But the good part about JDM is that you can personalize the car any way you like.
Good luck!
