Ok, I am getting my liscense very soon, and I need a car for next semester. Heres my criteria, please give suggestions:

1. It MUST be Rear-Wheel-Drive
2. It MUST be under $5000 Canadian
3. It should be fairly easy to find one in Canada
4. Preferably a car thats fairly easy on insurrance
5. Preferably a car that can be modded (engine mods) cheaply and easily

Thanx, please give me some input!

or you could always try to get an old cop car those are usually pretty good

chevey caprice would be better than a crown vic
atleast w/ the caprice you could turn it into an impala ss

I will deffinitely get a 5.0L stang if I can afford the insurrance, but I am positive it will be about $10,000 a year if its under my name, so I have to find out how much it will be if its under my parents names and im an occasional driver on it. Thats why im trying to find more options. Caprices and crown vics arent bad, but they're kinda big. What about BMW 318s, and 325s? around 1990... I saw some of those for under 5k, any good? or dont go for them?

i would go for a bmw used, 320 would be ok, those shits pull fucking crazy dude, get the bmw

1989 Pontiac Trans Am, Black.

240SX
MR2
Camaro
Trans-Am
BMW 318/320/325
Porsche 924/944

Caddilac STS
Monte Carlo
Caprice/Crown Vic
Miata
or Other

I would suggest an early year mitsubishi 3000gt, but that is just me. Maybe not the best bang for the buck, but I am totally in love with that car.

[hemi_fan]

3000GTs are far out of my price range. im looking for cheaper stuff. on Auto-trader, theres a 64 caddilac for $2000. That thing is so HUGE, i should buy it just so I can own the road. lol

Contour SVT, i had one, very good car

[coloradosilver]

I had an SVT Contour also, but he'll never find one in his price range. Hey, get a V6 f-body (firebird or Camaro) The last generations of those cars you can pick up pretty cheap. The insurance compane doesn't donsider them to be sports cars since they're only a V6, but they can be moded as far as you want. These make for great 1st cars.

[DeMoN]

Hey hemi, you should call up a small ensurance agency and ask for the price of ensuring certain cars. The small companies usually have no work, so they will be as kind as possible! I will do this soon too. I have adquired my targets (car and ensurance company).
