Heh ya my vote goes towards the MK2. If you can dish out some extra cash, then i would suggest the MK3. I would have suggested a 80s Corolla GT-S, but stupid initial d tax came in. :mad: |

all yer gonna get for "advice" here is different people opinions about different cars, and it will more then likely flame when someone says you should buy a car someone else think's is shit...
better plan:
Step one) Goto www.canadatrader.com
Step Two) Search in Edmonton and area for Cars
Step Three) Set Max price to $5000
Step Four) Look at options.. and repeat as nesecary
If you find something you like, then maybe visit a forum dedicated to that car... i garuntee you will find one.
Those people will know the car best... look to see if there are common problems that owners run into... yadda yadaa....
have fun! :) |

this is the other thing i knew was gonna happen :p
7 of the 10 people who made suggestions for cars, OWNED the cars they suggested...
you can't deny the biasness in those kinds of responses, i would imidiatly disregard them :p
The ones that made suggestions of cars they didn't own, did so probaly cause the cars they DO own would run more then $5000.
just something to think about... :bthumbup:
i know i know.. i'm being a jerk. :D |

hmmm.. since v8's are out the question i would say anything with a turbo. Turbo mopars can be picked up cheap and can be made fast; out of the box they're not really that great. However, throw in a manual boost controler along with some supporting mods like exhaust and it's a different story. A wealth of information is avaliable on the net and there are many fast turbo mopars even in edmonton. Plus, you can pretty much find hundreds of parts cars at pick n' pull :)
If you wanna go the turbo mopar route get one equiped with the turbo II as they already come intercooled and i beleive have a more efficient head and better turbo ( a little rusty on turbo mopars tho :) ) |
