$8500 (I hate these threads)
I have $8500 CASH to spend on a vehicle. This is in-hand no BS. I'm looking for something along the lines of a SRT-4, or S2000. I know it might sound low to those that have no clue about the current economy. I want someone who is realistic. Go to carmax and see what they offer to buy your car for and you'll know where I'm coming from.
I don't want clapped-out crappy cars, and BS offers of how I can spend the rest on blah blah blah. I have cash, and am willing to pay for a nice vehicle. If the transaction needs more on my end I have a brand new Nikon D90, and extras that I can put in on the deal. I have $1500+ in the setup.
