Help!
 

I want to buy a car with a manual. What is a good car with a manual for about 10k

urm...where do you live and what is the currency?

hahahaha! i think thats the most random post i've seen! :lol:
your meant to think about things before they hit the keyboard. :wink:
if your anywhere outside of Australia, which it seems you are, i have no idea..

10K? which currency? US? British pounds?

He lives in the US, I doubt he will pay his car in Swiss Francs or Yen :P

It's an international car forum, so i just had to ask. Hehe. I suddenly feel like a stooge.

10k US would work out to about....6K pounds?

The e30 M3 is about the best car I can think of. It's the best drivers
machine that BMW has ever made and you know that if it's the best
drivers machine that BMW has ever made it just has to be the best
drivers machine ever(with the exception of some supercars) and it
sounds as if you are looking for a real drivers car. It's probably gonna
cost you about $12k and upkeep and repaires will be higher than you
may want, but you will get one heck of a road car.

Get an AWD DSM (eclipse/talon). You wont be disappointed. I'd say its your best bang for the buck. Plus, you should have some extra money left over.

10k US is about 6-7k my money,for cars that are here for that money i would go for maybe a corrado VR6,havent a couple k left for some nice mods.thinkin bout it insurance is a killer here so limits a lot of cars,but for that could get maybe a 200SX turbo.

but i agree with sp00ln,your in the US,for that money you could get a DSM,they arent available here,but if i had that money to spend were u live thats the car i would buy

wow you love old DSM don't you. if you look hard enough you can find pretty much any used car with a manual, so find a car you like and just start searching.

Dammit, im such a dumb american :( I was excited at the time because a guy I know offered to teach me stick, and I was elated. I'm already prepping for my first manual car. Thanks for the clarification on my country TT. I wasn't thinking.

Well.... he wants a fast car, right?

there are other fast cars out there, dont be so close minded

oh my god, i better save you from these tiny engine sports car wannabee's!!! PAY them little heed you d be amazed how fast you can go on the track with these --------->
for 10,000 us, and you live in Pennsylvania, go with an 1993 mustang cobra. it only had 240hp, and weighed in at a sleek 2300lbs... VERY VERY EASY TO BUILD UP, very cheap to build up. just get the saleen body skirts, and drive that Beast to 200mph under street legal conditions... (the aftermarket will push you somewher around 17000 all said and done id guess) but its an amazing car stock!!!!!
other then that, Camaro z28, firebird formula, or Trans am
or else, go with a dodge stealth/mitsu 3000gt, a decent one ranges about that area too

Im not. Im assuming this kid doesnt have the BEST funds in the world. So, if he wants a clean, good looking car that responds really well to modifications for <10k, I think a DSM would be the best bet. Name something thats better?
