Right so I have got 3k to spend. What car shall I buy? I'm looking for something that has got some good power and well rounded performance.

Thoughts...

Little out of your budget, Honda S2000.

[R0B.]

Corrado VR6 or Integra DC2

Seat leon, MX5, Puma, DC2, clio 182, e36 bmw?

Does 3k include insurance?

[3000GT ANT]

mitsubishi gto/3000gt!?

[Rev Limit]

ST205 Celica GT4, Toyota MR2 Turbo, Classic Impreza, Nissan 240SX, E36 of some sort? Might be able to get an M3 if not a 328 would suffice! Seat Leon Cupra/R?

Thoughts on a Lexus is?

[Marf]

Thought you were gonna buy a Z3?

[6potdave]

Scooby WRX?

[George7]

IS200 is nice, but quite slow as it's a heavy car with only 150hp. Good solid car for 3 grand though. How about a Mondeo ST220?

I do like the Z3 but I just want to get a gauge of what else I could potentially look into with a 3k budget

[Benny Saltstein]

Could be yours for £3k - needs an engine, gearbox and other goodies though...

MR2 Turbo Revision 3 would be my choice, but then I am biased.

I had same sort of budget and got a fantastic 99 3000GT, its amazing how much you get for your money with a car like this.

[AceOfHearts]

Mazda RX8?

[S8QUATTRO]

audi a8 4.2 quattro, get a good one for £3k or a quick e39 5 series

[sparks_E39]

Nice 530 Sports are getting to around your budget.

[S8QUATTRO]

530 sports great allround cars, built really solid too. very good value right now
