i'd save up like $4000.00 more and get the type r better than the rest of those cars

 

None of the cars on your list are luxurious, or fast.

You want luxurious and fast, get a Mercedes E500.

Anyway, among the choices on your list:

I can't stand VWs for numerous reasons I don't feel like going in to.

GSR - good, but kind of annoying to find in all of the used car listings and dunno if you'll find a '99+ for under 10 grand

Swapped hatch - you have to buy the hatch, then you have to buy the motor, then you have to do the swap; "plans" such as these have a way of never getting accomplished

Accord VTEC - pretty much every Accord from '99 up is VTEC; do you mean I4 or V6?

'02 Si - doubt if you'll find one under $10k, they're ugly, but they do drive pretty nice

I'd go looking for GSRs or try to find a Prelude VTEC which is also a pretty nice car and you should be able to find one for a pretty good price.

Is this $10k your total budget you have to pay for other things like insurance, registration, gas, repairs, etc? If that's the case you don't want to spend any more than say, $7500 on the car itself.

 

$14000 Type R? :thinking: Good luck.

 

I'll try to respond to everyone in this post...

1. It has to be a stick, I wanna have fun while I'm young and cruise my automatic when I'm old.

2. All the cars I've listed I have seen on Autotrader for around $10k, most steer towards $11k, but I can bend a little.

3. The Accord 2 door 4 cyl

4. A 99-00 Civic coupe with a swap is a lot more luxurious than what I currently drive, the straight pipe to N1 muffler is like whoa inside the EG.

Thanks for all the responses!!

 

id say prelude. i bought my 97 base 5 speed w/ 57k miles on it in Jan 04... for $10,5. Drives great, interior is comfortable, and its nice looking... mine needs some paint work though.

 

hey there's a type r for sale in the automotive forums for $13,500 go check it out!

 

yeah i saw that. I decided not to put a negative post on his for sale ad.

 

prelude

 

97-99 A4 1.8t - might be a grand or so of fluxiation w/ what you got, but if you looked hard enough, you could be pimpin in class!

 

civic to civic and you want something more? You'll regret it. Sounds to me like you want a little luxury flare.
