Well I'm buying another car. I'm looking at a 3000-5000 price range, will be my daily driver.

Things I'm looking for: RWD/AWD, 2/4 door, Manual, Sun roof, Leather seats, good on gas. (remind you of any car? )

Thanks.

You're basically looking for the same set of cars that every other buyer is looking for?

Sounds like you should get the Scion, Matrix or Element... but those are priced too high.

90 mustang it is then..

If RWD wasn't the big issue I'd immediately call Sentra/200SX SE-R...

Impreza? (not sure if you can get leather here though, and in a daily, I wouldn't want leather... hot sun=burned ***...)

I believe he was trying to imply he was looking for a 240... S13 would def be in that price range, but it wont be in as good shape, and good luck finding leather. An S14 you MIGHT be able to get in the upper edge of that price range, which you may be able to find leather, but it will probably push it over your price range.

1st Gen VR-4.

You can find one for 5k...it'll be hard, but it can be done.

Impreza's are fwd or awd depending on the trim level.Maxima would be an awesome choice (if you don't mind fwd), look into an older Q as well.

I vote '90 Mustang. : biggrin:

if he's really lucky, he might be able to find a '96 Cobra that's gonna be in kinda crappy shape...the motors are pretty damn tough though.

Suggestions: Miata - best handling car for the money, evar! Also has an option for a hardtop.

Old N/A FC or something

One of the old AWD DSM's - ~200hp/200tq, AWD, pretty cool.

N/A MR2 - Makes me somewhat nervous to state what I said in my first suggestion.
