Have a 5000 dollar budget need a car that is fast and sporty looking any ideas?

Question

I want a something like a 97-99 model. I was thinkng of getting a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse, but i need more input on it before i get the car. So if you could help out, I would truly be thankful.

Answer 1

98 Acura CL

98 Ford Mustang V6

98 Subaru Impreza

avoid Mitsubishi very unreliable

  

Answer 2

The Mazda Miata is a very good looking car I have seen some in seattle for good prices.

Answer 3

Buy a cheap 1999 mazda miata, throw a body kit on it, and then save up for some high performance parts for the engine. I spent under 10 grand on mine and it runs 13.3 on a track and looks beautiful... people mistake it for porsche, and other exotic cars.

Answer 4

5000 budget... the car your going to get at that price will probably have alot of miles on it... and things are gonna start going wrong with it. I would suggest saving up some more cash. but you can look at my similar question for some ideas about a fast sporty car on a low budget.. I would suggest looking into older cars, for example, i found a 86' porsche 944 turbo for $3,300... but its red and i dont want a red porsche haha...

Click on my pro and go to my questions .. click on "What kind of car should i get???"

Any input to my question is more than welcome

Answer 5

98 Eclipse great car.

Dodge Stratus ES is fast and sporty looking. thinking of that for my 1st car.

Mustangs are nice, you can get one for less than 5k.

Lexus SC, luxury and muscle.

Nissan Maxima- fast sporty fuel efficient

Honda Civic EX- you could soup it up? it sporty and practical but not neck snapping fast

Answer 6

99 ford contour SVT... look it up. They are hard to find. But, very fast and sporty. They do not look like the typical contour.

I LOVED MINE.

Answer 7

Either a 98-02 pontiac Firebird or Chevy Camaro. Or if you want a V8 get a 93-97 Trans Am or Z28. You may be able to find a cheap 98-02 Trans Am/Z28 in your area with the LS1.  

Answer 8

I bought a 99 Maxima for under $4K,and it drives like a freakin' race car.  With your budget, you might wind up with high miles, so stay away from American cars, and stick with the more reliable Japanese vehicles.

Answer 9

E-Bay Autos.
