A)put most the money into the car and drive it like so
b)spend little on the car and get an engine swap
c)rebuild

That's all kind of circumstantial and depends on the car you're going to be making a decision on. Find the car you want, list its pros, cons, and price, and then I think we can help you out a bit better.

 

Exactly, you can find a car for abotu $5000 in good condition with a brand new motor in it, or with a few thousand miles on it. However, if you do that, be sure that the cosmetics on the car are perfect too. I'm also looking for a TII (10ae) and most cars I find are perfect mechanically, but cosmetically are reasonably bad. It all depends what you want really. It also depends on if you want to mod the car or not.

 

well i do plan to make mods. and mainly i want to do as much as possible by my self. Prefferably i want a turbo version.

 

white_seven i like your car i am currently going through your site know ill probably have some questions for you after

For 5 grand you should be able to get a very good condition, low mileage S5 TII. (89-91). Don't even think about spending that much on an S4. They shouldn't sell for more than 4 grand unless they are almost brand new, never driven. Have fun finding a good car. They are few and far between...

 

God if that isnt ever the truth, especially an S5TII. People either dont want to get off of them or they want a big chunk of change (like 6G US). You CAN though, find some sitting in the yard and things for like well under a grand and then put a rebuilt engine in them. That to me is the way to go. While you have the engine out you can put a good SP on it and do a few mods here and there and clean it up real nice. Good luck my man.

 

I have a 91 TII that needs an engine I want $4,000 obo for it. It has all listed below and then some stuff I have in boxes. E-mail me if you are seriously interested.

 

Incase you wondering I have about $7,000 in mods and parts that I havent put on yet. The best time before it blew up was a 13.8@101mph (clutch slipping all the way down the track). It has all new Falken 245/45 FK451's all the way around. Oh and I paid $10,000 for it stock when I bought it last year in March.

 

$10000? That seems like a very large amount. I hope it was in pristine condition with low low low mileage.

 

nm, it sold yesterday... *edit*
