You'll need more money for something in great shape. Dont' buy something cheap. It may be more work than it's worth.

Bullsh*t...you can get a nice 1G AWD for that money. You may have to wait and look around for a little while, but you should be able to get a good-looking, good running car for around $2500. Or you can spend at the lower end of your limit and get one that might need a little work. -------------------- '90 Talon TSi AWD

You can find something dude. I got my 91 TSi AWD for $2700. It has the 6bolt\4bolt combo and the motor had 34K on the bottom end, and 15K on the top end. The tranny shifts (or used to when I got it) fine, and it had plenty of mods. 3" turbo back exhaust, MBC@16PSI, ported EVOIII O2 housing, Ported turbine housing on a new 14B turbo with an enlarged wastegate flapper, yadda, yadda. The body is a bit rusty, but it runs good, and im very happy with it.

Blue book on this one is about $2500... dealer would want like 6k for it. That's just what I feel it's worth. Always open to offers... -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

That's ALL I'm saying...you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a good one. resalturbo, shop around and you'll get what you're looking for: a good car at a good price. There's at least 4 on the trader right now for $2500 or less that would be worth looking into. And don't be afraid to negotiate price...just because a car has recently had a timing belt change (for example) DOES NOT mean it's worth $500 over Blue Book value. I would want to redo it myself, anyway, just to make sure it's actually been done, and done right. -------------------- '90 Talon TSi AWD

Not sure the guy wants to drive to Utah or Florida to pick up a car that won't or *might* make it home... Guys, I've owned 11 of these things, you get what you pay for. You get all excited over a $1500 deal, only to find out that it needs $2000 worth of work... been there, done that a few times.
My suggestions - #1 Keep it local... It's a lot better when you don't have to drive 8 hours to pick up a car, I've done that.... not worth it. #2 Take someone who really knows their stuff along.... There's a lot of us who would be more than willing to tag along and make sure you won't take it up the tailpipe when you get the thing home. Good luck in your search, and I'll keep my eyes out for you....

For a car that's not local, of course you would need to get pictures and talk with the seller on the phone (but that's really true of any major purchase you make). Maybe even run a Carfax check on it. Be smart and do everything you can not to get screwed over.
Are you under the impression that you can't "get it up the tailpipe" locally? That's a rather naive attitude. If you only look locally, you're severely limiting your options. If you really want one of these cars, you just MAY have to work a little to get it. -------------------- '90 Talon TSi AWD

the 237hp at the wheels is good but what really amazed me was the torque. Didn't it throw down like 268 pound/feet of torque or something?

If your patient and prompt when the target is found, you can get a good deal with some knowledge and bardering skills. I personally wouldn't disregard 'good deals' because of travel time either. As IC said you have to do your homework and be prepaired to walk if it's not what you want.
