What car would you buy for $4000?

[freakstatus]

I'm looking for another car to split driving time with the Marauder. I would use it to and from work.

My stipulations are: has to be domestic, have a V8 or supercharged 6 or 4. Can be any years model but should be ready to drive and gas mileage is not an issue. Budget is $4000 (wife).

So far I've been looking at SN95 5L Mustangs and 80's G body muscle.

Thanks.

Fox body notchback
G-body
F-body m6
Firts gen lightning
Bronco

Crown Vic P71.

Guess the GTO didn't work out. too bad. How about a Focus? Lotsa go fast mods available.

[skeptikal]

Another vote for P71.

[ctrlraven]

I'd also go P71 if no to the bike. lol

[snigalfriz]

I like big cars, I would look for a CV P71

[slickster]

86-93 5.0 trunk 5spd. If you want a every day beater and cheap and easy to work on that gets 50 mpg get a 90-92 geo metro

Actually, I was looking for an 87 or 88 Turbocoupe. They are definitely getting rarer these days.

I wanted one BAD when I got out of school, but too expensive at the time.

Volvo 240 - get a 91-93 and add a turbocharger to it.

That doesn't meet your own "requirements". It's a plain 6cyl...& FWD!!:eek:

With $4k, it's gonna be tough to find something decent. I'd look for 85-87 442, Regal T-Type; 84-88 Monte SS, Z28; 86-93 Mustang GT/LX 5.0.
Good luck!!

Its a supercharged 6. Not too crazy about the FWD though.

[MercNasty]

well looking at gas prices I would have to say a 2002-2003 Taurus

[EMAS]

Mark VIII or for another Panther forget the P71 and find a HPP equipped Civilian CV or GM.

[yjmud]

crown vic lots and lots of used parts available

[Jolly Roger]

+1 on the 88 Turbo Coupe but make sure it's the 5 speed.

[chazman]

2003 0r newer p71

[de minimus]

Not an "old man" Lincoln like mine.

[Motorhead350]

Manual? That's a rare one, but it has Jag parts. Could be costly in the long run.
