If I trade in my Cavy....
Ok, I'm finally becoming fed up with my 94 Cavy. I'm going to sell it and get what I can out of it (probably about $500) and save up the rest for a down payment. I'm leaning more toward either a Camaro or a 94-96 Prelude. But I want to get suggestions on any other cars that are good that you'd be able to find on a smaller lot. neons, nissans, hondas, etc.
Something that is fix-upable.

Re: If I trade in my Cavy....
How about a later model Cavalier? Parts are cheap, initial cost is low and they are reliable.

Personally, I would get either an Eclipse or a Del Sol. Eclipses have good engines and can be built up good. There is a turbo AWD (GSX), turbo FWD (GST) or non turbo FWD (GS or RS). A GSX is usually around 10 grand, a GST you could get for around 7, and GS or RS's can be pretty cheap. If you dont want a DSM, I would go for a Del Sol with the b16a2. Its pretty fast for a 1.6 VTEC and it redlines at 8000 rpms. Also, I think 240sx's, Civics, and 6th gen Celicas are pretty cool too.

If I trade in my Cavy....
yeah I like a lot of different things as far as body styling goes, but my Cavy went almost 7 yrs b4 the engine gave up and I had it replaced. I'm trying to get another that will do me the same way (last for a long time). Honestly, I'm not into racing or anything and almost care less for having an engine that can do 0 - 60 in 2 sec. I do like the 240s but automatics in them are few and far between. If at all possible, I'm going to try my best to get the Prelude I've always wanted; or I saw a 98 Celica GS Convertible (cherry red) online last week. Hmmmm...just maybe.

Re: If I trade in my Cavy....
Hmm... Domestic vs. Import again.
I would love to have a Prelude myself, but I couldn't afford it if I wanted to, parts are more, insurance is more, mileage and resale value are better though. I would rather have the Cavy or a Camaro, as I am an American! Just my opinion... All though I hate Fords, the Probe has a damn sexy body and a Mazda motor, which is the only reason I would drive one. The GT V6 has a beautiful exhaust tone! I would take all the Ford emblems off and put Mazda logos on it though, hehehe!

I've had a lot of ppl tell me that Probes are POSs. I dunno, never had one. If ppl had told me 8 yrs ago that Cavaliers were trash, then I may have never gotten one. But my mom helped me get it (R.I.P. Grand Am) and she asked me if there were any particular cars that I liked that I would want, and since I knew someone with a Cavalier, I liked the styling (nothing else) and so I got one. It was 3 yrs old at the time. Damn, my car needs to retire already! Hence, the reason I'm asking for advice.

If you are saying eclipses don't forget the Talon TSI AWD Turbo, the 100% EXACT same car as the eclipse.
as for del Sol do not get one without a B16 motor, mine gives me a huge boner, but I race del Sols without B16s and they are slower than 2.2 OHV cavalier.

Re: If I trade in my Cavy....
I would have to say a 1g or 2g GST or GSX Eclspe or TSI Talon or even a 2g or 3g 240sx. If you go with the 240 do a engine swap to the SR20DETT or the RB26DETT motor.

Like I said b4, I'm don't really care about being the fastest in town, so engine specs mean nothing 2 me  . All I really want is a good dependable car that looks decent, and I can find mods for. Something good off the line(production line)
