Whta do I do.....
 

Hey,

I'm 17 an work at eckerds an make 515 an hour an have 2500 saved I want a import I can mod alittle Im a quater japanese. What kind of car shoulld I get? I was thinkin about a 92 an up civic. But tell me what yall think.
Thanx

What does being 1/4 Japanese have anything to do with this? Get what you want, regardless of race and/or ethnic background.

Good luck with your choice

get the 240sx and start saving for the ever popular swap RB26DETT :yes: ;)

1/4 Japanese eh? Just throwin that little tidbit out for general knowledge eh? Im Irish and German, myself.

What do you want to do with the car? Lets start at that. Goals? Expectations? ....that dumb fast and furious stuff?

92 Civic CX or other hatchback


then get a swap and JDM it out.

Dammit, I'm going to have to sell my Honda now because I don't have any Japanese in me :rolleyes: :D

Anyway, what are your plans for whatever car you get? What do you want it for? Drag, autox, etc.

^you too? man looks like I'll have to get an AMG or something...or a horse and buggy...whichever comes first
;)

i dunno man...those ****ing horses are pretty expensive...

Get an integra i have one for sale :) J/k but if u do take it serious im me i do have one for sale.

If it were me having $2500 at my disposal and making a whopping $5.15/hour I would consider a few things...
1. What expenses do you have? Seeing that you are 17, you are probably still living with parents and going to high skool. You are going to want to figure out how much you have to pay for and if you can afford a car.
2. Are you going to get any help financially if the car breaks? 5.15 isn't a whole lot to be making and if you are paying your own mechanical bills, a 5.15/hr wage will quickly catch up with you. And I see that you are wanting an import, which traditionally aren't cheap to fix. Also you can easily buy a dud at $2500.

And well, those are all of the examples I can think of off the top of my head to keep in mind in terms of money. You do have to keep in mind though, that a 2500 dollar import is going to be relatively slow and with 5.15/hr, mods are going to come very slowly with long gaps in between. If I were you I would try to wait until you had more money for the car and more to put into it, or if you need a car badly, don't look so much at modifying it and get something that will work decently until you can afford something better.

And if I had 2500 to spend on a car with no worries on it breaking or to pay for insurance, or any of that jazz, I would look for a Probe GT (about a 93), Celica GT (about a 91), or an older integra (about a 91). My top pick would be the probe just because of the decently quick v6.

RB25DET

isn't minimal wage like 6 these days....damn...i cant remember the last time i got paid that little....11/hr for me...only summer though

Pretty much what he said. ^^^ :)

But I'd keep that Civic on the list cuz it'll be a reliable car. Maybe slow, but reliable. :yes:
