Have you got 7k in total to buy,insure and run...or have you got 7k to buy with a few grand put away to maintain,insure and run??? a big difference and needed to run a performance car...i saw a bargain on ebay the other day that i can highly recommend and was tempted myself,a impreza type ra with a start price of £2750 and finished with no bids,car was good as well...stage 3 cosworth acceleration up to 100mph with better handling

regards mark

MAD EVO 4

I have to spend ro buy the car and have the rest for insurance and maintain

Is the car going to be driven everyday for commuting or a weekend fun time car?

Does the car have to take you to Tescos?

MAD EVO 4

no car does not have to be used for tescos but will get used around 4 days a week

7K can get you a pretty decent WRX STi. Might even get one of the limited editions possibly an RB5 or dare I say a P1.

If you want something newer I suppose you could go for an Audi A3 1.8T or 2.0T quattro or Golf V6 4motion.

Theres a golf V6 a few doors away from me and it sounds fucking amazing and goes like fuck as well

Thats my 2p worth. I know some people will probably laugh at those but

a saph cossie will swallow ur 7k mate and then some !!! They are very old now sadly


as mentioned ul get a crackin scooby etc for the money and it will be more reliable and better handling

MAD EVO 4

finding it hard to get a good insurance quote on any imported car

spend £3500 on a saff and use the other £3500 to keep it on the road for the next 6 months!!

Dave_YD

98 spec integra type r not as quick as some other suggestions but they do handle well and will be reliable

Ad4m RST

Been said but deffo a R32 GT-R imo, best bang for that kinda buck

RobL

id be looking at civic type Rs, integra type Rs or maybe the clio 182 if it were to be an everyday car

DANNY-B

TBH if i was going out to spend 7 grand cash on a performance car it would have to be an e36 M3 convertible, i had one before, they're fantastic cars. Just make sure the historys with it. If not then walk away!!

Sukhy RS

Stage 1 (350-400bhp) Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R for me hands down

MAD EVO 4

went out and viewed a few cars today, came back with putting a deposit down on a Evo 4 with lots of history and the owner is fitting 4 new tyres and timing belt.

Misses had a drive aswell and loved it ( she drives a colt czt )

Rich_w

Different. Wouldnt be my 1st choice, but a massively capable car.

MAD EVO 4

Redkop

I bet.... you want to become an MLR member now and get access to all the workshop manuals and other stuff regarding the Evo 4 and group buys

Red16

Nice car you got there, in fairness i think i wouldve made the same choice if i was in your boat

Ive got my Evo5 insured through A-Plan... they were the cheapest quote i had out of the 30 or so companies i tried sorry i dont have the number to hand tho.

Looks like it's been a well cared for car. I think you've got it at a good price too.

Yep the last owner was in his 40's and loved it, he is a mitsubishi tech so that helps.

Never been in a 4. How do they compare to say a 6 or 8? Are the engines/power as good?

SOunds like guy was up for negotiation so hope you chapped him doen from £6500

MAD EVO 4

I paid the asking price but he through in and fitted 4 new tyres and is doing the timing belt plus full tank of fuel
