i kno you guys are dsm head strong but come on, im looking at other possibilities, besides it has to be 2000 or newer preff from dealer...

Try a honda, or I mean if I was you and I had 8k I would try to find a camaro ss.

But you could look at maybe a nice Tacoma, Hmm,

Can't you pick up an older SRT-4 for that?

$8k 2000 or newer leaves you with domestic eco boxes. Cavs, focus, neons, escorts etc.

I'm about to make a move on a 2000 Jetta VR-6

My friend can build me a 240sx with s13 ( I like this ) or s14, even s15, it all my choice, for 3k that include the car 92-94 model and new paint job. But I walk away cause I love turbo dsm so much, and that my goal is to get one.
