Also, forgot to add. Don't go with the Grand Am, they have a very bad failure rate, and cost quite a bit of $$$ to get back to good running shape, once one thing goes, 11 more things go with it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif Which is why I'm starting to dislike my **** GA.

An Acura Legend if you can find one, great cars, great sound stage, and with proper build, they get LOUD!

good cars.

Wouldnt go w/ any of those cars, but since it is not me and if I had to choose, I would go w/ the Accord being they seem to last forever! Are you like doing major competing w/ the car or something? That would be the only reason I would buy a car just to get a loud vechichle. Just get a CRX and call it a day. If you dont get the cord, then the Eclispe would be my choice, although I smoked my 2002 Eclispe GTS w/ my Focus ST, LOL! Half the reason why I sold the mitz. Is a lot heavier IIRC than the year you are looking at though. I dont like to buy used turbo cars w/ over 100k on them though.

Search for a maxima for that price range, you wont regret it, walks circles around those cars for the price, reliable, powerful, roomy, etc

If you're going to get a Celica, do yourself a favor and go with a 6th gen (94-99).

Tell me that does not look sexy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

These cars are VERY hard to find because they are so reliable...nobody wants to sell them. I found a 1994 with like 115Kmiles on it for $3000, but it wasnt the hatch model, and it was the disgusting baby blue color. I actually found one about a year ago...it was a 1992 with only 34K miles on it!!!!, but it was basically the same car I was just talkin about...baby blue, no hatch....

As far as the eclipse goes...I agree with the over 100K and has a turbo=chance of failure soon....im lettin go.

As far as the maxima....I can not find one within my price range with decent miles on it...all of em have over 150K in my price range... I wont touch anything with over 120K.

No I am not going to be in compeitions, but I want the car to have the potential to get as loud as a comp. car.... I really planned on puttin 2 15's in whatever car I get.... so I need a huge hatch like the celica, or fold down back seats in a sedan

UPDATE!!!!!!!!

I dont know how to change the poll options, but after doin some more research I have some new options....

Still lookin at the 98 Accord with 100Kmiles for $5450

or 1999 Nissan Maxima with 90Kmiles for $6500

2000 VW Jetta Black with 80Kmiles for $7000

1998 3000GT with 100Kmiles for $7200

Unfortunately the best deal was an accord, but its white, and I dont want a white car.. DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW MUCH A BASIC MAACO PAINT JOB COSTS??!! or ballpark.... I found a 1997 Honda Accord with 70K miles for $5900!!! And I can probably get it down a few more
