1997?+ Mercedes ML320 SUV (got bad reviews) 15,000+
1997+ porsche boxster 16,000+
even a used 1996 hummer H1 was for sale for 21,000
plenty of mustangs if thats ur thing

but yea like that other guys said a honda s2000 is a great daily driver, thats what im looking at now, great gas milage, great HP, great fun, never read a bad reivew

wish i woulda looked into my car s little better
stay AWAY FROM A DODGE STEALTH OR A MITSU 3000GT

$700+
got a flat tire... $90
exhaust leak... $200
and the guy i take my car too just told me he has 3 more dodge stealths on a list waiting for new transmissions
2 days later coming home from a superbowl party... my car wont get outa 2nd gear (automatic).... $1200

but yea if she can drive a 6spd...id deff go for the S2000 can pick 2000-2001's up for 15-21k on autotrader with about 30-50,000 miles but hell its a honda take care of it and it will take care of u

another cool car for 10-20k are 93+ Toyota Supras (non-turbo and some single turbos for that price) fun, fast, some having a targa sport roof, back seat, plenty of luggage room, and a toyota

the wimpy sister of the S2000... the new Mr2 spyder, can pick used ones up for less than 20,000...slow but if she doesnt care about that then go for it.

"can we build it? yes we can!"

Basically it has come down to whether or not this girlfriend wants a kit-car or a production-car?

Leo, i assume she is OK with a kitcar since you are posting in a kit-car forum, but i still must ask which of the 2 kinds of cars would she rather have? To better focus the helpful replies of the members.
