i'm thinking about getting a sports car someday and i would like to know what is a sports car for $17000 or less no more than $20000 probably from 2000 and up but no earlier than 1997:
considering:
mitsubishi eclipse 2001 and up
ford mustang 2005+
corvette z06 any year
camaro any year
mitsu. lancer (or lancer evolution)
toyota celica 2006+
honda accord coupe si (not really a sports car but who cares)
dodge charger
dodge viper (probbaly out of my price range)
grand am, trans am, grand prix (love them even 90s models)
what i'm asking is are these nice cars and are they in my $ range
also i'd llove any suggestions you have too

Answer
First, If you are American you should buy American Sport/Muscle. I will link you to a site that IF you are really into cars...You will most likely be on this site for hours writing numbers down. Perhaps you have a dream car on here.

LINK: http://www.racingjunk.com/category/8/Street_Cars.html
Choose a Make or just scroll down to bottom and click the "view all adds" to see all the great deals.

Did you know that the 2010 Camaro is like $23,000? If I were you I would just save the extra $3,000 and get that.

Now, If you were going for something fast,reliable, & cheap to upgrade(add Horse Power) I would go with ANY year of Camaro V8! The parts are a dime a dozen & they are very nice cars. Just make sure you go with the V8 model!

Please do the rest of the American "sports car enthusiast's" a favor and NOT buy Mitsu,toyota,,honda Or subaru..(Leave that to the 12 year old's.) .Keep this American Muscle/sports car love going.

Personally I'm a truck guy all the way around. But I do plan on getting something like a 1979 Camaro or Trans am. I am in to older Muscle a lot more then newer sport. But I wish you good luck on you car hunt!

Again Good Luck!!!

What is a good sports car around 10k?

Jacob Mart

I'm 17 and I'll be leaving for college after this year and I drive a 1999 ford ranger... I'm going to be getting a new car for college and I really want a sports car. I really like the Subaru WRX but I think it will cost too much. What about camarro mustang 350z? What is a good alternative sports car for around 10k?

Answer
Like the above person said those aren't really sports cars. But 10K can get you a lot of much more interesting real sports cars.
Such as these
The second generation toyota mr2 1989-1999
An early 1980s to 90s Lotus esprit s2 or s3
A pontiac fiero
A chevy corvette c4 1984-1989
An older honda s2000 1999 to 2003
A mitsubishi 3000 gt
A dodge stealth
or even a early 2000s porsche boxster

Of these the lotus is the most exotic, to people who don't know cars it could pass for a lamborghini. And with a top speed of 170 and a 0-60 time of 4.5 or so it drives almost like one too.
Also the more exotic cars on this list, the corvette the lotus etc, were likely somebodys second car, so most for sale will have under 50,000 miles.

What's a fuuel efficient truck/SUV from the 80s/90s?

~Tim~

I'm looking to buy a cheap car this Summer. (will likely be a craigslist buy) I'm looking for something with some muscle/offroading potentia, but cheap and retro from the 80s or 90s.. A couple cars I have in mind would be like a Toyota 4Runner or a Chevy Blazer. I'm not big on cars very much but I'm looking for something like that. I t would primarily be for college so I wouldn't be driving it TOO much, but I would definitely like something more fuel efficient. I realize trucks/SUVs in general aren't big on that, but I just want to know what cars in that category are best when it comes to fuel efficiency. Thanks
As I said, I totally realize that fuel efficiency back then is nothing compared to now. I just want to know which ones are MOST fuel efficient for the time.

Answer
ford ranger
toyota tacoma
ford bronco 2- the small ones
ford explorer sport
1991 honda civic wagon- pretty much like the 80's cr-v's
1987 toyota tercel wagon- pretty much like the 80's rav4's
dodge ram 50
geo tracker
vw fox truck
chevy s10
kia sportage
mazda mpv
nissan pathfinder
el camino

I'm buying a new car?

dodge sports cars 90s image

John B

I just recently moved to Florida and am shopping around for a new car. Something reliable they'll get me from point a to point b.
I have a 2000ish dollar price range (I am a poor college student).
I have been looking at.

Ford Probe
Dodge Stealth
Eagle Falcon
Nissan 200zx/240zx
Honda Prelude
Toyota Supra

Basically what I'm looking for is a sporty 2 door from the 80s-early 90s with a reasonable price tag.

Any other suggestions?

Answer
For $2000, the closest thing you'll get to a 2 door sports car in the early 90s is an integra, mx6, or 200sx.

I have a 2003 Dodge Neon SXT, I want a new car with more HP, but I'm not rich..?

Jake P

First off, I know almost NOTHING about cars. Just some simple stuff. So pardon me if something doesn't make the best of sense.

I currently own a 2003 dodge Neon sxt (Graduation gift) and I wanted to do some things to it to give it more HP. Our family mechanic told me I could get cold air intake, a chip, and if I REALLY wanted to, turbo.

I have the money for all of that, but I was wondering if it would even be worth it doing all that to my Neon, or if it would just be worth having my Neon as my "drive around" car and purchasing another car, possibly one with a bigger stock engine.

Only problem is I can't afford a Viper, Mustang, or any of those incredibly expensive sports cars. I want something subtle, decent, that I can put some money into and get what I want. Speed.

Please help!

Answer
If speed is want you want and you have all the funding to add a turbo to your Neon I say park the Dodge. If you want some speed and major power go for one of the late 80s early 90s model fox body mustangs. Make sure it's a 5.0 and a manual. You can do mods along the way and you definatley won't be dissapointed especially when you get it to where you can stand it up under a red light.

What is a Real Good Car to Buy ?

dodge sports cars 90s image

Truck Stop

That gives little trouble

Answer
If you want a modern car, but a Cadillac CTS Coupe, Wagon, or Sport Sedan, a Chevy Silverado, or a Buick Regal or Lacrosse. It it is an old car, say, the 00s or the 90s, you can buy a Mercury Grand Marquis LS or a Dodge Caravan. Just an opinion.

Who else likes early 90's sports cars?

Saji82NO

Im not some hipster kid who was born in 1990 expressing some unfounded nostalgia for cars older than me just because we were "made" in the same year. Although I am young, I can remember when these cars were new. In my area one could shoe horn into a drivers license at 14 if your parents had the money to insure a 14 year old. So even in junior high I was eye balling cars. I also remember being able to buy VW bugs (before these garbage new versions) for like $250 in running condition when I finally got my license. Now you can barely find them. Of course my family didn't have the means so I didn't get my first car of my own until I was out of high school and saved enough from working in construction. Even since Ive been through my share of used POS cars and have yet to get a really awesome car that I can be proud of. I haven't really made any money since, and finally find myself well employed so Ive been dreaming and surfing the internet looking at all the cars Ive ever wanted to buy over the past 16 years while I save. Im disappointed though, nothing new compares in looks to say early 90s Acura NSX, Ferrari 348, Nissan Z32, Mitsubishi 300GT/dodge stealth(I remember the first commercial I saw for that car), Toyota Supra, Dodge Viper(remember the television show?), and the RX-7 oh and we cant forget the R32 Skyline(hell throw in the R33 too even though late 90's). I know its a wide range of prices but man those cars just look awesome to me and had performance to boot. Now a days "sports" cars are 5 door econo-hatches, inflated "compacts" larger than full size vehicles of the early 90's, or sorry attempts at recreating the 60's styles with modern plastics and 20" rimzz... I remember when 16" wheels were upgrades and 17" was ridiculous and excessive.

bah! maybe I can find one of those cars and rebuild it. That would be awesome. I guess some of those models extended into early 2000's but by now they have been so dramatically changed I dont even care to follow up with the new "improvements"

Answer
I get what you are saying i love the 90's cars,myself i was born in the 70's and saw many great cars through those years and when the R32 Skyline came out in 1989 i feel in love and wanted one,but only being sold in Japan and the cost it was a no go but i had fun with other Japanese cars and owned some rubbish non Japanese cars over those years,but luckily i have since owned a good few great 90's Japanese cars from the R32 Skyline atm i drive an R33 Spec 2 Skyline and before the Skylines an 200/180sx s13 and my friends also drive some great 90's classics from RX7'S Supra's integra's 300zx and gto/3000gt models and so on and on.

I could buy a new shaped car but yet apart from a small amount and a really small amount i love the 90's models better and those tuner engines might drink fuel but they are great fun to drive.

My Skyline parked with one friends Supra.
