I've been thinking of getting a car as well as my van with nearly a year. So having broke up with the girlfriend at the weekend, I'm finally decided on doing actually getting off my arse and buying something. Something being the problem... I was thinking of a 200sx but can't really decide. So here goes I'm going to give myself a budget of €10k Engine size or economy doesn't matter so much to me as I have my van for work & I won't do so many miles in the car itself How it looks & drives is more important. So any suggestions....
Thanks in advance

I had my eye on one of these:

280bhp, 4 wheel drive. low insurance. not too obvious.

I heard of a guy in Navan with one of these. 300bhp! for 6.5k. Nice. I reckon scary bills and wallet wilting mpgs though!

In fairness, I wouldnt recomend one, however there was a really tidy 1995 M3 on carzone recently for 9k euro. Its gone now, but if it was me, Id be on the look out for one of those.

Colleague has an identical one. Nice car, although expensive to repair.

If your looking for a 200 look towards the uk and you'l pick up a tourer for under your budget.

There getting a very popular car here at the minute due to drifting taking off so just make sure the car's not been thrashed if your buying private here.

The Galants a nice sleeper tho,likewise a subaru legacy b4rsk saloon if that floats your boat
