phhh, i would buy a geo metro before a spec-v, or a golf 1.8t, they are cheap cars, if you want something decent, not too much, find you a nissan 240 or 300zx, ur the one with the cash so you decide, me i would get a 300zx with the vg30dett, or get a 240 with the ka24de, either drop a sr20 in it or build up original motor, the stock ka24de has the potential for over 800hp on the stock block because it is cast iron, the sr20 downfall is it has an aluminum block, or go all out and slap a skyline motor in it. which there are diff rb's to be had for the skyline. all can be done for less than 10g's and you will have a 10 sec car or less. if you know how to drive.
