What is he interested in? Just transportation. Maybe a little auto-x, drag racing?

It all depends on what he wants to do with the car.

When I had a little over 3k to spend the choice was quite obvious to me, but we all have our preferences.

He's definately into tuning and wants a quick car. I was also thinking fox-body but I'm not sure if that'll fly with the rents.
