Surely those 90's Integras aren't worth that much US? I suppose if ones in really good condition with low kms...

I would suggest against buying Integras older than the RSX. Good cars, but leave it by urban areas and it's bound to get stolen

within days. I believe the GSR Integra goes for around $2,500 for the mid to late nineties and around $3,500 to $4,500 for the early 2000s.

Spork:

 

Get one of these

 

 

You can't tell me it doesn't look good. And it can back up it's looks too (more in the handling category instead of straightline speed).

 

Most used (in stock form as seen above) go between 6000-8000. And it holds its resale value VERY well.

 

That pretty nice. Excuse my car ignorance, but it is a civic, right?

Honda Si. It's a branch from the model Civic but more power, sport, and the VTEC. :thumbup:

ALOOOOT of people are after Si because of the VTEC but the issue is that the Si only comes

with the coupe style (which may yield higher insurance) and is subject to high theft rates. (Especially

those that are older than 2001)

The craigslist in my hometown has a Ferrari Enzo listed :o it's legit from a dealer, with a video. They even start it up, and it's the best sound I've ever heard. It's listed at just under a million dollars. Everyone pool our money????

[Kaphias]

I'd recommend against the Chevy, as 07 was just before the big three started to ramp up their quality. For anything except the very late 2000s, buy a foreign car. I hate Hondas personally, but a Civic would be a great choice.

For one of the ugliest cars ever made? No thanks.

I like it. There's a nice looking '99 one for sale in my city for $3300. The only disadvantage is it's already got 200,000 km on it. Not that it will still be for sale by the time I can afford it, but would that be a good price? Insurance isn't a big deal (Yay for socialist insurance :P), and I wouuldn't be leaving it anywhere it would be stolen easily.

[Star_Fox]

^ That's a very good deal for an Si. The 99-00 Si are more in demand than newer Si because of tuning and its accessibility

for Turbo.

 

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about mileage on Hondas and Toyotas unless they're like 21+ years old or something. As long as you can afford to

maintain them, you should be fine with high miles. Pretty much any car needs maintenance. [bleep] the silly ads saying otherwise.

Uhh, that blue one is a Civic :P And they're relatively rare compared to the base models, AND about 80% better. Worth the price if you find an unmolested one.

 

 

I believe the GSR Integra goes for around $2,500 for the mid to late nineties and around $3,500 to $4,500 for the early 2000s.

You are correct on the 1992 GS-R Integra, but for the 94-01 GS-R Integra, you're off by about $2500. They're great cars, high theft targets, and (like with the Civic Si) relatively rare compared to base model Integras. But they're better than the 99-00 Civic Si.

Lol, ramp up their quality... My friend's 09 chevy already broke down on the side of the road once and had to have the clutch replaced.. While my 02 Toyota has 300k+ Km, never broke down, and still has the original clutch.

That a stunning sample size you have there.

I really love those wing doors/lambo doors sports cars. Those lamborghini cars look so freaking tight! Wish I had one :(

Just like your dell computer that failed, making dells terrible? I now believe you are hired by a Japanese company to scare people away from American products :P

Of all the Dells I've seen most of them failed. Simple example is out of the 11 brand new computers we had at work, all Dells, 7 of them had parts changed (motherboard for 2 of them) The computers are only 7 months old.

 

And I wonder why you say Japanese, as far as I know Asus is not from Japan.

[Laura]

Just took my top off today! :D It's been so cold and windy here lately and today is the one good day that we've had.

 

Really want to mod my Jeep to look something like this:

 

Or maybe buy one of the old Willy's Jeeps. :P

Here's a teaser of mine:

 

 

Had a "photoshoot" meet with a couple of other Type R owners. Didn't take flashy photos, just regular photos.

What's the point of buying a non utilitarian car?

I've ridden in a Porsche 911, and the novelty of speeding and how cool it looks wore off in like 20 minutes. Also, what's with the aftermarket spoilers? Unless you do some serious street racing, all that does is draw the attention of cops and make you look like a tool.

to stroke your ego

[Iamdan]

I don't get it either. I'd rather a 10 year old hilux over a sports car any day.

What's the point of buying a non utilitarian car?

Loads of reasons, some people like the look of a sports car better than a pickup/people carrier. Others enjoy the act of driving so a small, rear wheel sports car will be more fun to drive than a hefty family estate car.

I know a few people who have a daily driver car, something they use to take the kids to school, go for the shopping etc and a less practical (a TVR, in my friends case) car for taking out at the weekends and going to a track day or taking it on a jaunt across the country.

I've heard of having pride but that's just ridiculous.

For street racers, spoilers control the air flow of the vehicle, giving you better steering at high speeds (like 90-100 mph). On

local speeds, it doesn't really make a difference. I can't picture a middle aged mother having her grocery getter

installed one. They are usually for punk drivers or young naive people thinking spoilers is the "way" for 2 door cars and convertibles.

I find it funny when people put spoilers on cars which are front-wheel driven.
