my price range is <8,000
looking for any car that is fast, decent priced and ofc reliable. I was very close to buy a black on black 2003 eclipse, but did more research into it and figured out there are lawsuits world wide on that car because made cheap and it's a pos if you don't drop another 5k on the car.

currently looking for:
Toyota Celica GT-S 2000/01/03/04 models
Toyota Supra MKIV 1993-2002 ( not looking to import cars from differnt countries lol )
Honda Prelude
suggestions please :)

not going to consider:
Mitsubishi - UNRELIABLE FROM WHAT I READ
Pontiac Firebird ( love this car, but my dad has a '86 Trans Am )
more to come...!

we just picked up a 97 cobra for 4500.
The gts is not fast by any means
the supra you chose actually has the best engine in them.. good luck finding a running one in good shape for that amount of money.
