I need help with a budget car.

SO here's the deal.  Two of my friends just got 92 Eagle Talon tsi's.  We've always had a little rivalry between us and I don't know too much about cars.  I do know that I am under a budget.  I just need some ideas about what I should get. I was thinking maybe a 3000gt vr4 or a subaru wrx.  Any ideas??

I expect you have not had too many replies b/c your request is perplexing.  Who considers Eagle Talons and WRX's to be budget cars?  I opened your post expecting to recomend a Toyota Yaris as a budget car.  After reading your post, it really means you want the cheapest sport car possible.  My recomendation?  Buy a civic Si, through on a spoiler, and hood scoop.  Get an intake and exahst system and be happy.

Well, a 3000GT VR4 or a WRX will spank your friends' Eagle Talons in pretty much any measurable performance.  

But what's you're budget?  VR4s are available all the way back to 1990, but do you want a turbocharged sports car that's been driven hard for 17 years?  

WRXs are available from 2001 (or is it 2000? I can't remember), but they hold their value well, and a low-mileage example will be much more expensive than a '92 talon.  

Without knowing what your budget is, It's hard to suggest high performance bargains, since "bargain" is relative.

Hi there! I used to have the same dilemma and since I was a first time car owner, I decided to browse through numerous websites, asked my friends which car is the best. Considering the budget and the quality of cars available out there, can buy from Japan auctionsdiscounts guaranteed! You see, auctions is not only limited to ebay but you can buy cars from Japan directly even online. So why not browse through the pages of net? You might something that interests you and best of all, the auto suits your budget.

It's kind of like old people complaining about being on a "fixed" income. It's not being fixed that is a problem, it's the fact that it's low. I'd love to be on a high  fixed income and then my budget could include more luxurius and powerful cars.
