Hey anons, I'm a poorfag looking for a project car.
What I'd like
>under 5k
>manual
>RWD
>preferably with a mostly intact interior
I'm making this thread to post things I find and hopefully get feedback from anons about it.
On the subject of things I can't afford while I look for more shit -

Check out this sick Suzuki!

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5916495180.html
I like the sound of that but I doubt I could pick it up for 5k.
How much should I offer the guy for this 240?
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/5919029283.html
A 240 was honestly what I was looking for but I can't find one that's not beat to shit.

>2.5RS
Is the rust & transmission worth dealing with? I figure the undercarriage is probably rusted to shit too.
>tfw it's literally the only Impreza RS for sale in my area

Holy shit nice.
That 200SX is shit FYI, I looked at it last week. Engine is -fucked-.
Guy wanted to do a initial budget build.
>>16468281
well fucking buy the Miata then, obv check it out first just to make sure everything is fine.
>>16468283
Whoa dude relax
I could probably make my money back parting it out and selling those BBS separate if all goes to shit.
But yeah, thanks, definitely checking that out.
>>16468285
>I could probably make my money back parting it out and selling those BBS separate if all goes to shit.
why would it "all go to shit"?
and those BBS' arent as valuable as you think, why would you even part it out in the first place?
>>16468291
Because this isn't a realiable daily I'm looking for, I'm looking for something fast out of the box or that can be made fast for cheap(er than the competition). Cheap is good.
Besides, pretty sure I could easily get 700-1k off the wheels alone based on the buy/sell/trade groups I'm in.
>>16468302
and to clarify, when you build shit to go fast, it has a chance of going to shit. Everyone cuts corners, not everyone cuts the right corners, dig?
>>16468302
the supra is probably the fastest out of the box out of those cars I listed. the miata is a reliable, quick, and agile car that is also very fun to drive.
since you are in texas you are probably one of those highway cucks so stick to the Supra pham.
>>16468310
I actually prefer to run two-lane county roads which are often shitty enough to qualify as a dangerous touge.
I drive a FWD Honda daily, so highway pulls are my least favorite thing to do.
How am I supposed to out apex someone on a sweeper that is basically a giant apex?
>>16468310
>>16468317
tho, after reading the ad if I had 5k more to throw I'd buy the LS swap kit with the Supra just to cause such massive asshurt at TX2k, judging how they reacted to a local shop's honda (F?) engine swapped into a MKIV a few years ago.
>>16468265
at this point, FUCK NO. Undercarriage is probably rotten worse. Please don't buy it anon.
>>16468218
i failed my driving test and can't buy the car I want off craigslist/kijiji until a month later.
how fast do listings go usually?
>>16471064
Depends. I've had some listings in my local area that have been there since I got my first vehicle 6 months ago. Most of the ones I personally look for end up gone within two weeks.
General rule is if you can't pick it up that week don't intend on it still being there
>>16471104
i am worried now. This looked like such a clean car for a winter salt hell

Cop or not? It seems like a good car to hoon around in, and I love me a nice, compact little convertible. Trying to hunt for something sub $15K
