I have 6 grand to spend on a car. I have no idea what to get, i live in Ohio and its not that great here. I'm into modifying whatever i get, and thats where whatever money i make is going to go. Im thinking a used jetta, 1995 mercedes c280, maybe an eclipse if its a year 2000+, and older Bmw, a subaru legacy, etc...any ideas?

my buddy has an older mercedes and it's a bitch to fix he said; but super sick. beamers will last forever but are expensive to fix. Eclipses... I'm just not a fan so I can't help with that.

When you say an older BMW do you mean the squarish ones?

BMW 3 series or Nissan 240sx if you're into modifying.

bmws and benzs are expwensive for parts and fixing, not to mention modding. If youa re gonna go DSM get either the AWD+Turbo eclipse/talon. Subies are nice, but im not a huge fan of them unless its the 2 door imprezes.

I don't know about that. My sister owns a stock 01 impreza and it gets 30 mpg if she's lucky. I have a 220 hp outback and it gets around 22 mpg. If you're going to get a subaru to modify you'll have to get an impreza or a legacy GT.

get a golf TDI they have shit loads of torque, are easy to modify, can run up to 400K miles and average 50+ mpg on the highway. my bro just got a 2001 for 9grand so you'd easily be able to a late 90's in your price range. plus with 4doors and a folding back seat youd easily be able to fit all your shit and your buds for a weekend of skiing.

unless he is going to dump thousands of dollars into a civic or integra i wouldnt get one . ricers are the stupidest fucking thing in the world. but hey if you want to go buy a civic for 4 grand put a fartcan , some aftermarket stickers and some gay ass aftermarket taillights on it then go ahead. wherever you go though people will laught at you

I'm going to look at a blue 2000 Eclipse. Unfortunatly its only a 4cylinder(blah) but at least its manual. Its got 100k miles, leather, all power, and its gunna cost 5.5k. Best deal ive found yet. What do you think? Heres the pic.

Heres the wing id buy, and the Razzi body kit is a maybe. The wheels are pimp, but are gunna cost way to much for me. Im thinking about spending only a few grand on extras, im more for show than go. But i'd still buy a cold air, exhaust, and some other small engine mods.

overall im probably gunna end up spending like 8 or 9 grand on it.

a 2000 gs with 100k miles?  for 5k? i dont know man, that seems like a good deal but they are sooooooooo fucking slow. even with all that shit you listed AND a fuckn turbo it wouldnt be much faster then a stock gt. but i guess go for it. 100k miles is huge though

I guess I never really told you what car on my last post.... so go with the Jetta. But, if your modifying, DO NOT, buy a coffee can shitty ass $80.00 muffler. Buy a REAL exhaust system. I think it's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better if you drop a grand on a real EXHAUST SYSTEM. Not any of that dumb coffee can muffler shit. 95% of ppl see those things and just say gay gay gay gay and GAY! But that's my advice.
