Help me pick a cheap Daily Driver!, Subaru Impreza 2dr Coupe 98 Options

[jcbass7]

Ok so the celica is off the road with some big plans for the future. Meanwhile, i am at school in CT and live in MA. Basically i am looking for a cheap DD that i can make into a proect car in the future... but with about 2k maybe 3k to spend i can't find much..

I'm interested mainly in toyota and nissan..

Toyota
celica
mr2

Nissan
240sx

My sister might sell me her mid 90's subaru impreza 2dr or whatever it is.. for 2k, but not sure..

what i really want is a cheap mr2, but for my budget it would be an old one most likely if i can even find a decent one at all..

i wouldn't mind an older celica, like a fastback etc. could be fun

again i also wouldn't mind an s13 or s14, but s14 is most likely out of the budget range..

what i really need is something that runs reliable and passes inspection, the rest doesn't matter at this point..

any ideas?

EDIT:
i don't want to travel far to get it either.

PERSONALLY (and this is ME) but i'd use the money to work on the Celica, Do your research first, know what your doing before you do it, and it wont be off the road for long.

You can surf stickys and other members projects to find out what needs to be done; project wise. (We all share our misteaks so that others dont make them!! )

EDIT: otherwise, surf craigslist.com and your local greensheet...

Thanks for the advice, but trust me it will be off the road for a while and i have done my research, and need a lot more than 2k to get her on the road how i want her to be.

My progress thread touches a bit into the future of my celi. big plans, lots of work, moeny and time. in the mean time i want something reliable to play around with.

thats my progress thread. right now the engine is out and half of it is sold. my situation is intersting.. i'm too lazy to get into details.. but basically 30k to play with in 2010.. and ill put some of that into the celi, send the engine out to MCS possibly try AWD, get it painted, tuck the whole engine bay etc. etc.

until then, i need something to drive a few times a month when i can leave the academy


I'm really leaning towards an first gen MR2 to play around with.
