Help me find a car

[kungpowchicken]

Hi i was wondering if you would help me find a car. I want a rwd or awd. It has to be around 200hp the more the better. and under 3000 dollars. Thanks

So where exactly do you live? How far will you be willing to go to get a car?

 

[kungpowchicken]

I live in duluth minnesota. it is at the tip of lake superior. I am willing to go about 200 miles in any direction to get it.

 

[Quick_Nick]

All I could find for $3,000 is 10 year old muscle cars with high mileage.

1993 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

1991 Ford Mustang

1991 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

1990 Ford Mustang

1989 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

1988 Ford Mustang

1987 Ford Mustang

1987 Ford Mustang

I dont mind high miles or being 10 years old but is there something not american

 

[retsmah]

200hp, under 3 grand and not American is going to be pretty tough to find

 

[Quick_Nick]

1989 Jaguar XJ-6

1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL

You might be able to find a used mazda RX-7 FC3S for that price.

The 1989-1992 RX-7 turbo has 200 hp. They're very hard to find. Almost impossible to find below $3,000 200 miles from Minnesota.

How about a 3000gt

Good luck.

Heh, heh, the 'White Comet' (from Initial D series), good luck on that! But if you get it, that would be sweet.

You could try a Honda Prelude but that's front-wheel drive, they are still fast cars though. You might also be able to find an old Nissan 300ZX...

It's a non turbo RX-7 with 160 hp. I also doubt you could find a 3000GT or 300ZX for under 3 grand.

 

[ShobThaBob]

Also, the non turbo 3000gt is REALLY heavy with FWD, and the 300zx is pretty heavy as well.

 

[kungpowchicken]

though the prelude is fwd is it a good car anyways

If you're young it is enough power. I have one and it gets me around.

I just got my first speeding ticket. It was in my moms 2004 Legacy L. I was going 61 in a 30 on the ticket. Ithink I was acually going about 65 to 70 though because I saw a cop hit the brakes and saw the needle on 60mph. The fine is $212.00.

 

[Slick6]

It sounds to me like a Geo Metro of Ford Fiesta would be a good car for someone like you. You wouldn't have to worry about speeding tickets then.

I'd suggest a Nissan 240SX. Cheap, very easy to find, and it makes up for it's power shortcomings (160hp) with great handling. If you have the money, swapping in an SR20DET into the 240SX will turn it into a really good performance car for under 10k total.

Well, that's what you get for speeding. I don't reccommend it. 👎 did you ever get a warning?

Dude if you want something with power and rwd go with a pickup or SUV. They have well over 200hp and it would help you on in dulth with it snowing like a mother all winter long.

Even a Metro can get up to 65mph. It's too bad they don't have cars that come with good judgement and responsibility built in.

 

[Quick_Nick]

Yes, but a Geo Metro is American, it has a 55 hp 1,000cc 3 cylinder & it is front wheel drive. Just get buy one of the cool cars that I pointed out to you.

 

[Joey D]

Wow you are limiting your options to crap unless you look at American cars. I still say a truck will suit you best.
