Buy a dd beater. Save more money... Or use the money as a down payment on something good.

you want something quick you had a srt4 neon and cobalt ss in mind? 14+second cars aren't quick.

get a civic/accord and daily drive it because its barely slower and you don't have to deal with the reliability and maintenance cost of a cheap turbo car.

Wrx.

take that money and apply that to a down payment on a new car...

currently driving a 2001 wolfsburg jetta, I was gonna it and use that for a down payment
its turbo'd

looking for a car faster than that, an srt4 or ss i'm sure will beat my little jetta

I would like a wrx, but I driving 25 miles to the university, 50 back and forth total

doesn't have to be turbod or ss'd, maybe a nice 6 cylinder like a 350z, 300zx, g35

but i feel like that exceeds the 8k

a supercharged cobalt ss can easily be found in the price range in good condition if you change your mind about one and want more info on them feel free to pm me

use that 7k for a down payment on a car.
Assuming you have credit and a job and can afford to make payments.

Buy something for 17k, finance for 10k, its only like $160 a month @ 5 years

Well i don't have have the money to get an sti, I could save up, but i have like 10+ buddies where like 80% of their stis crapped out and are really expensive to fix..

Still open to opinions though! Haha

Do you not wanna make payments on anything and just wanna buy out right?
