Help me pick a car...

Check into the Focus ST. Or maybe you could find a Dodge Neon SRT4 for a good price. What is your limit?

15,000 Canadian. So like 14,000 USD?

Well then that will be a little harder with the cars that have been mentioned. Check into the Scion Tc's or the Scion xB's if you like a box of a vechichle. Good reliable rides, plus good on gas, which is always a bonus nowadays.

Scion XB's are 20+ thousand used and 25-28 thousand new here... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Not sure how much the TC's are here, but i'd imagine around the same.

Ah, no, no they are not! They go for around 14000 at my local dealer.

There is the website, so check it out. Our dealers around here sell them cheaper for some reason. Cause I almost bought a Scion Tc and changed my mind for the Focus.

Even if it was 28000 new(Candian) then I dont see how it could be that high. Wouldnt that still be over 20000 USD?

Woot for 3 posts, //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

In Canada everything costs more. Dealerships obviously don't pay to much attention the the exchange rates.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Look up Scions on http://www.trader.ca

Cheapest new one is around 24 grand. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I think some one mentioned SRT-4 you can get one of those for around same price as those other cars. But I am guessing your really not into the racing world just getting a car that drives and puts a system in it so... Id say either lancer or Mazda 3..

I'd like to have some fun at the track in the near future. SRT-4 would **** me on insurance. Like 400 dollars a month for insurance on an SRT-4..

I plan on doing mods to the Lancer if that's what I get.

Ontario. Under 25 for turboed cars is nuts on insurance.

srt4's are gayer then aids, just another domestic ricer. that much power + fwd = horrible handling. i drove a turbo'd honda for awhile. im much happier with my rwd vehciles.

get the car with the highest actual cash value, or highest resale with the options you want...the cav/sunfire are horrid, one of the worst cars ever produced, worth nothing, same as the neon...i mean from a car guy/insruance point of view...
