So I got word today that my car is a total loss.....So I need another car. I have decided that the next car I purchase will not be financed. Im 22 years old and ready to graduate so its time to start saving for a house and with no car payment I should be able to mod the car I get a little. So what do you guys think I should get. Im looking for a reliable dd that I can work on myself/learn from that I can buy for 7k or less so I dont have to finance anything.

How much damage did you have? I would say get a beater and buy your car back from the ins. company and save the money to fix it if you think it`s worth it. They total soo many fixable cars these days it`s unbelievable.They will sell it back to you for very cheap. Just my .02

buy a beater outright and then get a project car fox/sn, thats what i would do.

+1 on the beater

actually what was the amount of damage? over here in canada the insurance sell it back to you for 1500$ (cnd) must be way cheaper in the states.. plus you find a body shop thats gonna charge youhave the labour and you can work your way there. but just expect to move your car around a lot with a towing, cause your cant drive it...

Buy a Project beater - 94 cobra is the way to go!

I guess you gave up on your other options from an earlier thread...
1.06GT
2.S/C V6
3.GTO
If you buy the GT back from Ins company...what will it need to fix it?
1 newrimis obvious.

Go for a 94 cobra. Still has a 302 but has a newer look. It would be a great platform to start a performance build (if thats what ur wanting). Or try to find a 92-93 notchback and mod the hell out of it.

i say fox, lighter than the sn95. cant beat the look of the foxes. and easy as crap to mod. 1 vote for the fox

From the pics it doesnt seem to be enough body damage to total out the car so I am going to bet the sub-frames are twisted. Go with the foxbody its cheaper and cheaper to mod.
