what car would you get? (7-10k price range)

im selling my TL and im gonna buy a cheaper car

my budget range is anything up to 10k, but i prefer something a little nice

it NEEDS to be a 5SPD and hopefully have good mileage above 20mpg cus i'll be commuting

my first choices are

97-98 240sx
91-92 240sx and mod the hell out of it
98+ integra GSR
97+ z28 but the gas mileage is kinda sketchy


any suggestions??

I bought my 98 CL for under 10k, it's a 5spd, and I regularly get ~28 mpg.

Jetta?

I bought my 01 CL-S for under 10K also. Look for wholesales in your area.

I would look into buying a CL, Accord, Integra, or Prelude in that order.

What's the difference between used car dealers and wholesalers? Like how can I tell it's a wholesaler?

When it comes to used, Nissans older cars seem to lead the way as far as getting a lower mileage car for a decent price.

But, with that said, if I had my pick it would be the gsr or prelude only if I could find one with reasonable miles/quality/price/content which may end up being not that easy.

The z28 will get 30+mpg on the highway with the manual, and I'm sure it would top the fun list to drive. Wouldn't mind picking up a z with t-tops to mod and cruise around in with that v8, probably be able to pick a manual up for 10k w/ 75k miles in great shape.

In that price I'd get a '98/99 Maxima SE 5MT.
