2 Sweet Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Those Impala SS's really hold their value. A 5k one would be a royal hunk of shit. And LS1 F-body at that price is pushing into problem territory/very high miles. Could get a decent LT1 car for that. Yeah the Impalas do hold their value really well, but occasionally you can find a decent one for cheap that only needs minor work. Someone on CR got one for pretty much nothing and it didn't need a whole lot. The Trans Am in the corral on here is under $5k and doesn't seem like it needs much, just an example. Although you are correct, the miles certainly aren't low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestions: - Porsche 944 - Toyota MR2 944's are OK, but make sure the timing belt has been done recently, holy shit are they expensive. The water pump alone was like $400 plus for the part. The cost is way higher, although they handle like a mid engine car.

Xyster101 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 +1 for the MR2 91-93 years. Might get a turbo for that price. I have a friend selling a '71 Datsun 240z in ok shape for 40 years for $3500.

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 i would recommend a GTP or a bonneville, but you already have that, so I can't offer anything, except maybe go for a scubby and have AWD fun in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Just don't be in a hurry. Deals will come along. I spent 6 months looking for my Impala SS. She's not perfect, but the price was right and she's getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
