I've been searching for days and cant find a thing I like. Im looking mid 90's or earlier, something where i wont have a payment again. Moneys tight only will have about 2500. But i got no ideas. Currently ive been loking at pickups(house needs a lot of work so it would help out) and jeeps. whats some fun cars out there though?

Old Chevy or Ford pick-up, pretty easy to maintain and not much off the top to start with

not sure of the validity of the rumor but i heard there was a recall on the earlier ones due to some engine issue and some needed the entire engine replaced. as always make sure they took it in for all of the services and recal

buy a 2001-2003 740IL BMW, you can buy em here for 2500-3500, although about half went in the clunker program. its a TON of car for the dollar..



they didn't make fun cars in the 90's... they just made stupid boring mobile check engine lights

just about every car is like that.... the only engine failures in the rx8's occur to rx8 forum readers, everyone else is trouble free.
