Looking to buy a cheap sports car?

Question

I'm 18 buying my first car. I'm looking for something cheap under 2500 that looks nice and I could pimp out. I only need it to last like a year or so. I'm looking into something like a honda prelude. What other sports cars are there that I can get good for cheap? I want it to be later than a 90. I dont want a hyundai or any crap like that.

I'm looking for a place to buy it, i want a suggestion on what car to get.

Answer 2

Suggestion - stop taking or drinking whatever it is that you are on. The sporty versions of the cars that you mention will cost £10000 a year plus at 18 to insure and some may well be uninsurable at 18. It may interest you to know that the Assocition of British Insurers has recently released the results of a survey that says the average insurance for an 18 year old on a small engined small car is £4300

Answer 3

I would suggest you purchase a two door civic with a manual transmission in good condition. The car won't have power stock but it has a lot of potential for modifications. You can over time change things like air intake, exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, and suspension and get pretty good power. Try your local newspaper or craigslist.
