You could get a REALLY nice 89-91 Turbo2 RX7 for about $8k. Insurance is really liberal and the cars are great. More reliable, stock for stock, against an FD in my opinion.

i say get a 2000 si. decent cars. or if you can convince you parents that the 1996-2000 civic hatchbacks are all basically the same car, buy a 96-98 hatchback with a swap. you could probably find one easily for under 10k. ask EEK

yeah...cars usage averages around 12-15,000 per year. and 90,000 miles is triple that figure ...

I say get a year old Spec V but of course I'm biased to Sentra's. But out of your choices I say go with a SI.

when looking at most foreign cars, miles doesn't mean much. i bought my gti with around 110,000 miles on it and its a 97. it still runs very strong. it was mostly highway mileage though (which is better than city mileage). personally i wouldn't buy from one of those little dealers. to me they are there to screw you over but thats just my opinion. get a car from a private seller.

what you need to do is go test drive the cars that you have in mind. who knows you might not like one of those 3 cars. your the one that will be driving it, so its all up to you.

i say get one of the vw's. good luck

that GTi on autotrader has a hell of a lot of miles for being 3 years old. my 92 civic has 130000 and its 11 years old.
