Re: 1995-1999 Gsx

Why you get all your knowledge and everything from your GS, and then consider a gsx later. You dont need one right now. Learn basics and how to drive, then move on to something better like that. Got to start somewhere.

Re: 1995-1999 Gsx

your right, it just sucks so bad having an underpowered car, so if i see one for a good price im sure as hell im gonna get it. so wat do you guys think 5 to 6 grand more or less? o and about learning how to drive, ive been driving manual trans since i was ten so i pretty sure i got the driving thing down.

4500-6000 for a 95-95 gsx, more for a 97, but mileage, condition, location, and all sorts of other things come into play too.

Re: 1995-1999 Gsx

Yeah GSX's or TSI AWD's are pretty hard to come by in good shape...It took me about a good 6 months of real hard searching to find mine...I also agree with maybe waiting a while before you jump into it...Do you have another vehicle that you are going to keep or is it going to be your daily driver?

Re: 1995-1999 Gsx

I agree with Killa....if you are going to mod your new car I would seriously consider keeping your GS...I wish I would have kept my RS for daily driving now....

Re: 1995-1999 Gsx

well i was gonna sell the gs to some stupid kid that just got his license or something for like 5000, they are easy to find around here. Rich kids think if it looks fast it is fast, o and if its manual they think they can beat any1.lol
so that would get me most of the money for the new car, you know what im sayin?

Re: 1995-1999 Gsx

there is a lot more to driving than shifting a manual transmission. Make sure you get a stock gsx, then read, read, and read some more. Autocross it, learn the limits, do all the maintenance, then start modding.

dont get me wrong, i dont think just because someone can drive stick they can drive. If i were to get it i would definatly autocross it just to get a feel for the car. And as far as the reading and maintainance goes, that is a no-brainer, thats the same with any car, you have to read up about it and get a tune up before all else.

Well if you can get that for it, then I'd sell it, just make sure you find a semi-unmolested turbo so you can get a good, slow start to things.

Nice find Ned, it looks like it's in good shape, the only thing is that it's modded already and you've been around here long enough to know that those aren't always the best cars, but you already knew that. The price seems decent though, you could probably talk him down to around $7k though if you're good.
