Here's a brief rundown of my situation. Sold my 5.0, decided to get something more streetable and that can be daily driven. I have about 9k to spend so i've mostly been looking at fairly high mileage 99-00 cars. Talked to my parents today. They said they will give me an early graduation present of some cash to put towards a car. My guess is it'll be ballpark 4k, could be more or less. Here is my thinking.
1. I could probably get a 99 cobra or low mileage 00-02 car.
OR
2. I could buy one of the higher mileage cars i was looking at and i would have money for mods.
Obviously, since i post on this site, i'm not stranger to the 'mod bug'. I like to to maybe buy a 99-00 car and be able to do a nice stereo system and maybe some boost. Car has to remain streetable and i have a tendency to like appearance type mods as much or more than performance, ie rims springs would be a must on whatever i get. Also, i'd like to keep the mods to things that can be taken off the car if i sell, since i can see that happening in a couple years. What would you guys do?
