IDW Full Member  Group: Members Posts: 40 Member No.: 267 Joined: Feb 23rd 2003 Location: Melbourne Fl (& Nice S. France) | Hi all When i will come back from my hollidays in France, In August, I will have approx 5000$ to spent for a car I will use 2 years at most. I have 3 very different models in mind, but i can't really pick one out yet  SO can you please tell me which one you would choose if YOU were ME, and why would you choose this one, rather than another... THe 3 cars I have in mind are : - 95 Mitsubishi Eclipse - 94 or 95 Honda Del Sol - 94 Ford mustang convertible or convertible GT. Ps: it is not sure yet but i really plan to spent 1000 to 1500 $ for 17' rims and lowering springs... Any advices are welcommed if you know a really cool car for 5000, but i do love the 3 above... thanks. |

*insert derogatory adjective here* Group: Advanced Members Posts: 518 Member No.: 385 Joined: Apr 28th 2003 Location: Update Profile | If the '94 Mustang is a GT, get it...'94 was the last year they made the 5.0L pushrod V8 used in the last-gen Fox-Body 'Stangs, and the best engine IMHO Ford has made, aside from the Winsor 351 and 427...If it's not a GT, don't bother... Close second would be the Eclipse, and the Del Sol for third. Especially if the Eclipse is a GSX...I'd only pick the Del Sol if I wanted the most money left over, since I usually find them cheaper than Eclipse's anyway... |

IDW Posts A Freaking LOT Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 10,554 Member No.: 32 Joined: Sep 26th 2002 Location: Orlando, FL | Okay, here's the skinny. Mustang ONLY if it's a 5.0. Eclipse ONLY if it's a GSX (even a TSI, it should be cheaper) Del sol ONLY if it's an SI I'd say del sol if your only gonna have it for a year or two. I'm gonna get one this summer myself  |

IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 40 Member No.: 267 Joined: Feb 23rd 2003 Location: Melbourne Fl (& Nice S. France) | Thank you very much for your answers... Actually, yes, I saw one month ago a red Eclipse "RS" for 4900 $. In january I almost bought a '94 del sol SI for 4200 (but i don't remember the mileage, but it was quite heavy IIRC ) And finally I often see Mustangs even convertibles or GT between 4000 and 6000 $ ... Is an eclipse RS so bad compared to a GSX or TSI ? the problem is that RS are common whereas GSX and TSI are not... (Which one is AWD ?) and what is an FD ? an RX-7 ? can i found a used one for about 5000 $ ?  |

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 607 Member No.: 275 Joined: Feb 25th 2003 Location: Sayreville, NJ | If your gonna go with one of the 3 go with the stang... (as much as it pains me to say that) 94 with the 302 and 5 speed. Then you have RWD to play with, plenty of power on tap, and ease of matinence. And as Far as the above goes. Look at the car carefully. The LXC is usually a better deal, same suspension and engine/gears without all the weight the GT body crap adds. The racer goes LX the imposters go GT. |
