too bad i didnt see this sooner I just gave away my 90 celica gt it still ran and stuff but it needed work.
Help me pick a cheap Daily Driver! - 6G Celicas Forums
If cargo space is not an issue, I would say N/A MKII MR2. They are very reliable and you can get nice looking ones for about 3k if you look hard. Plus they are one of the most beautiful cars ever designed.
If cargo space is an issue, I say get a CRX. You can definitely fine those for cheap and they have more cargo space than most 4 doors. I had one when I was in college and it was perfect. There is nothing more reliable than a civic (which a CRX is) but it is more unique and looks better.

Some good words, what i fortgot to mention above^ was that if i bought either an old supra or MR2 i would be getting an N/A one. That way i don't have to worry about reliablity issues with a turb set-up and i can always swap later if desired...
After thinking some.. here is a new twist that i thought i need to throw out there.. i live in New England... and if i do a lot of work to the celi.. I am not going to want to drive it in the snow/winter at all...
I know i'll be "ok" with one of the other cars i was talking about but should i think more practical and go for something like an early 90's jeep wrangler as a winter car? i could drive it how i intend now, and then use it as a winter car/beater when the celi is back..
EDIT: part of my motivation is, for the time being, i want something that is nice and open in the summer.. targa top, t-tops, jeep with no doors etc.
ideas, thoughts?

UPDATED:
So my step sister just told me she is going to be selling her Scoobie in the next month or two.
Subaru Impreza, Coupe (2dr) L (not the RS)
Its a 98' with 85k on it. 5 spd, white, AWD (obviously).
Its in good shape, and she said she would sell it to me for 2,200$ which i think is a fair price.
I know this is a stupid question but is there a strong aftermarket for the coupes? i know the sti's and wrx's have good markets but i know nothing about subaru impreza coupes etc.
PS: this fits my needs for a reliable car that i can trust and maybe mod down the road. Also its a good car to have for the winter since it is AWD.
