mileage, N/A or Twin Turbo, condition?

N/A in good condition with ~100k miles = $5-7k depending on area and how much the buyer is willing to pay.

Twin Turbo in good condition ~100k miles = $7-15k depending on mods and once again, how much the buyer is willing to pay.

i wouldnt pay more than $7k for a N/A no matter what. but i think you should be able to find a decently low mileage good condition clean 2+2 for $5k or a little more.

yeah overpriced unless it has extremely low mileage and it spotless. even then, go fetch yourself a nice Twin Turbo $11k.

Re: so i waz thinkin about buying.....

It's always best to get a quote because there is always an oddball exception but yeah, at 17 I would think a Twin Turbo would bring in a steep insurance bill.

very true... from what i head don't expect to purchase a TwinTurbo and not throw money into it on the regular.

insurance depends...my insurance would not have been effected that greatly from a TT to a N/A. i think it was like $15 a month extra...i think it was mostly because of the age of the car but i don't know, i have heard of some people getting raped on insurance upon switching to a Twin Turbo.

Re: so i waz thinkin about buying.....

Well I would imagine insurance is pretty cheap for a car that doesn't move on it's own.

i have paid full coverage on it for a while simply because it has been back and forth from shop to shop so if anything happens to it at a shop and they weasel their way out of paying for it then i will have a back up plan...plus an evil ex-girlfriend that feels that the car was the source of the destruction of our relationship also encourages me to keep insurance on it.

depends on your other bills and expenses...i bought my N/A when i was 17, senior in high school, i was making ~$400-$500 every 2 weeks but i did not spend that much money on the car itself. once the car was paid off which i purchased with cash on the spot except for a small loan from my family which i paid back within a month, i only had my insurance payments. so i had plenty of money to put towards the few mods i did before I changed jobs. an well maintained N/A can be easily maintained by a high school student in my opinion, about the same as any other car. put gas in it, change the oil, sensor, pads, and filter changes here and there and it should stay running pretty good. but then keep in mind, there is always the occasion that a fuel injector does go out and N/A motors do destruct, etc. which are expensive fixes.
