I've only driven pick ups and SUVs in my time of driving, so I want my second car to be something fun to drive. I got a budget of around 13k for a sportscar. Must be rear wheel drive (or 4) and manual. Importing is an option.
Could you guys recommend me some? I really like Porsche 924s, 944s, and 968s so would any of those be good buys?

If you really want a Porsche, don't be a hipster and buy an 80's or early 90's FR model. Get a Boxter.

nah cuz if ur gonna get a porsche get a reeel supercar like a 911 turbo

This. Specifically a 996 turbo which is an unbelievable bargain right now. If you can't afford that you can't really afford to own a 9>>17669481

i second this, get a boxster that has its IMS/RMS issue taken care of

In my area they're around 40-50k. I have the money but I don't really want to spend all that much. If I find a really good deal for one I will consider it but for now, 13k is a pretty good stepping stone.
Seems like there is overwhelming support for the boxter.

Why not buy an RX-7 and LS swap it? They make for incredibly well handing, good looking, powerful an reliable cars.

That was one of the main reasons why I liked the 924 and 944. I heard they're easy to swap and they don't require a lot of work to get one to fit.

I think you'd be hard pressed to have a nice rx7 and swap it all for under $13k. That is unless you have a good home garage, good fab skills, and a lot of free time. Most engine swaps end up costing a lot more money than you'd think.

Samefag here. That is of course unless you want like a drift missle/ track toy with no niceties or comfort. Then just buy a shitty manual FC or 924 and go to town. Probably could do the whole dealio for less than $10k including the price of the car

What the fuck are those gay as fuck colours?

Considering the price savings and the failure rate being fairly low (5-10%, depending on who you ask) you might be better off with the savings of risking it too, depending on the price difference. on the other hand it being done is also a sign of the owner taking care of the car

Awesome my man, you are headed in the right direction! 944 is shows some serious taste.
