So I'm selling my Nissan 300ZX because the guy who sold it to me turned out to be not as good of a friend as i thought.(lesson well learned though, always take car to mechanic before buying, whether from a friend or not).
long story short, he told me a few minor things that were wrong with it, i bought it, turned out it basically need a whole new engine, or engine rebuild. he said he'd help out with the cost because he felt bad. I figured he'd go like half and half with me, so i'd end up putting about 3.5k total into buying this car after it's fixed, well he only said he could put 300 toward the 3k rebuild instead of my hopeful 1.5k so i have to sell the car because i can't afford to do all that work to it.
So i'm looking for an older car. Preferably RWD, Fast stock but with potential. t-tops and or convertible would be a plus. Since i drive my 79 beetle convert. 7 months out of the year with the top down, i hate driving inside a car with no convert. now.
and when i say fast i don't mean like 10 second car. just something that's fast enough to have fun with, and bring it out to the strip every now and then.
i have about 6k to work with. any ideas?
the only way i really want to stay domestic, is if it's an older 'cool' car or a 94-96 Caprice. I was looking at a 77' Cadillac Deville the other day and I really liked it, but it was just under 8k, so i want to check my other options first...
