Just in case, first gen dsm's are not *usually* reliable. At all. They've all been used and abused and treated like garbage and some of them make you realize the advantages a car with an underpowered motor that you can swap have, for example, the fact that you replace all the shit that's gone wrong at once, instead of when something breaks once every week or two. There are DSM's that haven't been abused, they're just really hard to find.

Just thought I'd make sure that was clear.

 

I have a civic i might let go of for 2500 pm me if you want the details

 

Buy my 89 Probe, it has the intake and exhaust done, runs low 16's, only $1500.

 

My boy aussie steve (he's crazy) is selling his 95 ford probe. Great car for driving around town and what not. And I think he's only asking like $2k. PM madom

 

Might not even have to my friend just picked up a MKIII Supra Turbo for $1000 runs great. Supras are good cars

 

I want a car that's really fast,good on gas,reliable, and uh..it has to be really,really,cheap.

As that one guy said, good fucking luck.

 

i found me a 92 240 sx for $700, runs perfectly a/c semi wokrks, some dents, its a 5spd with a oversised intake cone everithing else is stock(as far as i know)
i got it a week ago

 

i was gonna say a 1g dsm. if you are looking for performance and you dont have a lot of money a 1g dsm is the way to go. but if you need a car to be reliable, dont buy a dsm dude. especially for 2500 be cause it would probably have close or over 100, 000 miles on it and shit just breaks down. alternator, starter, trannys get notchy, they tick. they arent a great car to havce unless you are somewhat mechanically skilled. and you will put money into fixing them. i say try to find like and old stock civic or something. very reliable and economical. plus if you ever come across some real money you can always do a nice swap.

 

I think I'm phycic...

 

I've seen some pretty nice second gen Probe GTs around that price. No kidding. Not sure why, as far as I know they are nice, reliable cars, they don't respond well to engine mods though.
