WTB: nice, quick car for around 6k

[3_Series]

I have 5-6k to spent on new vehicle and want to see if anyone on here has any suggestions. Here are the requirements:

-Manual
-As little rust as possible
-Good interior condition
-100k miles or less
-Relatively good power, if Honda, DOHC VTEC if possible, or at least DOHC
-Power mods welcome: intake, header, exhaust, etc...
-Good all-year capability (fwd, awd)
-Good mix of options: ABS, Cruise, etc...

This would be my DD and I would have to sell the pickup, so keep that in mind.

All opinions welcome!

Although RWD, this Supra meets most of my requirements, opinions?

Not sure if he's sold it yet, but this looks like it would meet your requirements. Pretty pimp car for $6k.

Yeah, I went to look at it on Tuesday. Nice car but too much rust/paint bubbling, needs a lot of body work. I do believe he just recently sold it anyway.

Jim, he said 6k. I think yours will be just a wee-bit outa that price range.

Too expensive, sorry Jim. Very nice car though, I see it all the time when I'm heading down to Woodlawn.

how much? looks very nice.

[PSiedTSi]

i guarantee its a good deal...i sold my 92 talon with the exact same setup for $9k and it needed body work and the interior wasnt complete....

[Stormwalker]

I have a VR6 that pretty much exceeds your criteria, though it has 135K on the odometer.

I think it should meet your "power" requirement. understatement

Anyways, PM sent.

I think I found what I was looking for! A little more than I wanted to spend but still an awesome deal for the condition its in.

[Erik]

Purchase that car. Then engine swap and/or turbo.

[3_Series]

I am purchasing the car and will get it this weekend! My plans are (since the engine is in great condition as is) is to go turbo. Any opinions or suggestions as to which kit to go with or should I part it together?
