I dunno if you could find any of those cars for 10k unless they had a higher mileage.

Re: 10k for a car need ur help
Don't even think about buying a car that fast at your age. You'll get into big trouble for sure. Try something a little less frenetic, like maybe a '94-'01 Integra GS-R or '95-'98 200SX SE-R. You can find plenty of those for under 10K easily. Any 3000GT VR-4 or 300ZX TT you find for under 10K will probably have at least a few problems.

There was a stealth R/T TT in the paper here for 7,000. I went and looked at it. It was perfect. You might get lucky and find one for that price. But, you should start on something slower. If I was 16 with a TT stealth, I would go godspeed in the bitch. Start on something more..I dunno...Slow. Not to sound like you dont want fast, but starting on fast like that is pretty nuts. I started on a vtec del sol (Was not mine, was my aunts.) It was real fast for a first time driving...Dont live by numbers, drive it first. Make sure you can handle it.

Oh really? Do you want to end up wrapped around a lightpole with your head disconnected from your body and your back broken in ten places? Because if you try to learn the basic fundamentals of driving on an all-out sports car like the ones you have listed, there's a good chance that will happen. But, in case you decide not to listen to me or others who will tell you the same thing (very likely), go with the 300ZX TT.

The stealth I looked at was a 92. It was about a month ago. it has to be gone by now. I woulda baught it if I had saved my money instead of getting my alltrac. If you insist on a fast car for under 10, I also think the 300zx would be good. No major problems. Stealth's/3000gt's (Same car) have a few tranny problems if im not mistaken. Any of these will be fast enough for you. You'll see that it might be to much for you. If you have to buy one and crash to find out, thats your problem

It's quite simple really. You're a new driver, so you don't have the experience, and therefore the presence of mind, to control a car at the limit. The cars you're talking about here are very fast, and much more prone than other cars to get to the limit. If you get a 300ZX TT, Supra TT, or VR-4, you're going to drive it too fast, lose control of it, not know how to save it, and crash it. I've seen it many times, and so have others. There's a reason that insurance companies charge young people through the roof for driving a sports car.

Re: 10k for a car need ur help
the VR4/Stealth TT aren't THAT hard to drive, they basically handle like an AWD Sedan, they just happen to have a 320 hp kick in the pants when you stand on it.
