i was looking at the older models 1993-2001, I have a budget of about 10,000. I was wondering which model would give me the best performance for my $. and what modifications should i do that fit in my under 10,000. appreciate all the help i can get

'99 2.5 RS coupe or '00 to '01 2.5 RS sedan fit in your budget.

What are you buying the car for?

My advice on mods is start with the handling - suspension struts, sway bars, tower braces. Once you've done these then worry about what's under the hood.
Engine mods - start with the exhaust and then intake and work from there.

i was looking for mostly a dd but will probably drive it hard, and go to the track on the weekends

Do for a 00-01 2.5RS coupe or sedan. the 98 model has head gasket issues and the 99 model does not have a rear LSD (while the 00 and 01 models do).

I have an 00 2.5 rs and even stock its a very fun peppy dd.
