Sport Car!!!!!!?

FootballFr

I am 15 and in a couple of months will have my license. Right now I own a 1997 F150, around 250,000 miles, we did give it a new engine about 3 years ago, also it's in a good condition. I am thinking about selling it because I really want something sporty. How much could I get out if it? Also what is a good car or truck, not to expensive and is sporty like I want? I have looked at Camaros, Firebirds and thought about buying a Chevy S10 and sporting it up a little. I really like smaller trucks better. Try to give me a list of cars that might be good. thanks.

Answer
As for the price of your truck, you can check with KBB.com. You can check off all the options (etc.) and it will give you a fairly accurate going rate in your area.

As for buying another truck, you're only 15 so you many not know, but everybody is having trouble paying for gas. If you were to get a truck (or suv) you will have to get a job, just to pay for gas - to get to the job.

I would suggest you think really hard and ask people around you who has trucks and SUV about the cost of paying for gas.


Good Luck...

P.S. My civic gets 41 MPG on the hwy. I ain't hurt'n for gas money.

I'm looking for a first car. I'm seventeen. About the 1000 - 9000 $ limit and under 150 000 miles.
DO you know any helpful sites except e-bay craigslist carmax yahoo and autotrader??? Also if posible do you know where i can find bank owned vehicles?

Can you advice me with what to buy and what not to. I'm looking for a car that can get me at least 4 years.

Answer
If you really want to impress go for a cheap sports car. I found a '91 Camaro for $1000 locally. It had 100,000 miles on it but it ran fine. I got a '94 Mustang GT for my first car. Another option would be to look for a used police car auction. They go really cheap at those and you can usually get a fast, decent car.

If you're going for a more luxurious/economic route, I would suggest a Pontiac Grand Prix. About 25-30 mpg and a decent look. You could definitely get a 2000-2003 for under $9000 (probably looking at 4000ish, depending on mileage) and those are nice cars. Ultimately, go with what suits you.

Why do people say that European sport cars have better fuel economy?

sports cars best mpg image

Steven

The general consensus is that European cars, including their sport cars, have better fuel economy than their competitors (this especially the case when compared to American automobiles). Almost every "Car with the Worst MPG" list (or one with a similar title) almost every sport car on those list are either models of wither Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, and other European models. If these different lists all have these same models in their count then there must be something to these similarities (in this case that these European sports cars have worse fuel economy than those from non-European manufacturers).

So why do people keep stating the opposite of what appears to be the truth in this case? Can someone explain this clearly to mean?

Btw this question is only about sport cars.

Answer
I never heard of people saying that Euro cars are more efficient.

But anyways, look at Porsche. They have some of the cleanest running engines. In big cities, the city air going into the intake is dirtier than the air coming out of the exhaust. So it is like a vacuum cleaner.

And the 480HP+ Porsche 911 Turbo that reaches 193mph and goes from 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds gets 25mpg highway and 18mpg city. There is no competing supercar that comes close to those figures.

What is a good sports car that have good fuel economy?

I wanna buy a nice sports car that looks cool and also have a good fuel economy. Like 25 MPG.

Answer
Depending on how much you want to spend, I'd say that you should look at www.porsche.com and look at whatever suits your taste. Most of the models get between 24 and 27 MPG. But they are quite expensive, so like I said before, it all depends on how much you are willing you spend.

Here are some specs for the basic model of the Porsche Boxter: 255 hp @ 6,400 rpm; 0-60 mph: 5.6 seconds; Top Speed: 163 mph; Fuel Consumption (Highway): 27 mpg (Manual Transmission).

MSRP $ 48,100.00

Porsche also makes a kind of Automatic Transmission that they call "Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)", which can be purchased for $ 51,520.00
