Buying A Second Gen
#14
so this board is about fifty fifty on the car. well then what would you say is worst condition youd buy a 7 in? Example if the car needs new everything then its gonna costs thousands more were as if the car only need a new engine the body can be saved. Whats the worst condition you would buy??
Has anyone done anything similar to this other than mazdaenthused??

If you've got 5k to blow now, and a couple more to help mod, and are new to the scene, I'd recommend buying one that is close to stock with a good body, and maybe a newer motor so you can (hopefully) avoid any major problems until you can get more experience with the car.
Good luck!

here's what i did:
i knew i wanted more power than my crappy 86NA, and i knew i wanted a standard. enter TII. so i wanted a turbo in either black, grey, or white and i wanted to eventually put 17" rims on it, rebuild the engine for reliability, and get some nice S5 rear lights, and find one with a decent interior (no cracks on dash). i looked all summer and found one for $3000 with a blown engine. it even had the rims, exhaust, and S5 lights already put on.
my mechanic rebuild the engine in my S4 na, so i knew he could do a good job. i went to him, and now i have one of the pimpest cars i can think of...all for under $9000
what else could you get for $9000? a kia
