2nd car

[Primalzer]

So I have been seriously thinking about getting a second car. I have some expendable income, and I am kind of bored with my current car, but would be stupid to get rid of it and take such a hit. Now my budget is flexible would rather not do payments, but not opposed, would probably want something in the 2-3k range at most. Suggestions? Basically anything goes....except w-bodies.

WTF Mate?

What is your current car? Just so we dont reccomend cars that are similar...

 

[Primalzer]

I have a 2011 Ford fusion with a 2.5 I4 and a 6-speed manual.

 

[TonzKnock-G]

A 3800 powered Toyota?

 

[Jean Ralphio]

GTP

 

[DanJ]

Seems like a second car for 2-3K would be more of a PITA than anything... Unless you wanted a minty 3800.

PT cruiser.
SVO.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Honestly I'd get a motorcycle.


You already have a brand new super reliable car; now you just need something sporty/fast.

 

[Primalzer]

Ive been thinking motorcycle, but I am still not to keen on them.

Was thinking maybe a fox body(maybe svo?) Or an e30

240sx if you can find one in decent shape

Maybe you can get him to come down on the price

Not really into the whole Japanese tuner thing. Maybe a miata but that would be it. I do like the 240 though.

Something I've been keeping in the back of my mind, maybe something to auto x?

 

[SHOmuff]

Buy my SHO.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

What are you looking to do with a second car? Cheap DD, project car, weekend cruiser?

 

[Primalzer]

There is no designation, probably wouldn't be a DD. Something I could drive randomly to work every once in awhile, weekend cruiser, project car.

Why not nick's SVO? that car needs to be properly fixed and driven hard.

just go on craigslist and put in a max of 3700$ in private party and show up with 3k. theres gotta be some cool shit.

I have kind of always assumed that what i was going to do. And I don't think it would be an awful auto x'er

[Yaj Yak]

wow i just did work.

 

[Dasfinc]

5 speed SHO.

modular mustang (96-98 GT's can be had for $3-4K)

4 cylinder pickup (For obvious reasons)

DSM (If you are into that kinda thing?)

Bike

Try and find a non-trashed Integra GSR (extremely good drivers cars, huge aftermarket, etc, etc)

the last generation of MR2's are getting fairly affordable for the non-turbo ones.

Miata (again, if thats your kinda thing)
