Preferable Car?

Hey everyone, I'm new, don't know if this is the right section, and this isn't a wanted add. So anyways I'm wondering what preferences you would have for a new car. I'm looking for a tuner car in the mid '90s but I cannot decide. I've seen a really nice Acura Integra, 1994, for $6,500, but alas this will be my first vehical and I want to make it last. So if you have any suggestions let em buck.

Thanks
Brendon

Ok

Umm, I am looking for more of a tuner car, 2 door, and have a body kit on it, i want it to be a fun first car, last a good time, and make me popular hehe. I have to pay for the car, no help from parents. So i want it worth it.

If you found the car online please provide a link.

Thanks
Brendon

With a name like Farmboy and from a town (village?) in Sask I've never heard of, I'm guessing you're a small-town kinda guy looking to be a little different Driving a kitted-out import in small town Sask will definitely make you different lol Keep in mind the amount of gravel roads, dust and winter driving that your car might see. Body kits don't hold up too well in -20 temperatures when snagging a frozen snow drift. Dark colors are a total maintenance nightmare too on the prairies. I like mid-90s Tegs. Might as well find a GSR for the extra power. I wouldn't put a body kit on it, but maybe drop it an inch or 1 1/2" max, some tasteful rims, keep it clean and subtle and people will like it. Putting on a combat body kit, fart can, vinyls, 2+" drop and 18" rims will make you look like a farmboy wanna-be ricer who's in the wrong part of the country. Plus it will just get beat to crap pretty soon anyway.

Just from the top of my head.....

- 89-92 Nissen 240SX -- there are tons of bolt on goodies you could get for these cars. PDM Racing

- 86-? Mazda RX-7 Turbo -- other then replacing the seals on those rotors, they're a nice car.

- 91 Toyota Supra Turbo -- lots of HP parts bolt on available. (like from HKS etc)

Well, Yes, i totally understand the winter times, and other things that will effect my car, But, I would not drive it in the winter time(I got my old farm truck, only bad thing is that it's a gas guzzler). And i was wanting to get some after marker spring, But instead of having spring i was looking into some air shocks. But i don't know if my budget can afford it. I only have to drive 2 miles on a gravel road which is well taken care of, until i get to a highway. If you want to know where Lajord is, go to google maps, and search Lajord Saskatchewan. And no, I do not live in it, why would my name be Farmboy?

Yes, I'm looking for a car that will make me stand out. And for the Gravel roads, i would be looking into air shocks, so i can compress them, and raise the car, but at the same time have a bumpy ride, but what you going to do ? And i would be washing it every day after school(I've gotten very fast at it, and i kind of enjoy washing vehicles) And I'm looking for a brighter color, Maybe a bright blue, or a Orange, but my preference would be a champagne color, and then have a sweet gold colored stereo(Amp, Subs, Speakers)

Hehe, thanks anyways. But, i would like to have a truck, but i cannot afford to have the gas, that is why I'm looking for a tuner(not always good on gas), And I'm looking for great gas efficiency.
