Vehicle: Hyundai Tiburon FX
Porsche Boxster
1997 Porsche Boxster 5-speed. Price? Under $15,000, $5,000 cheaper than a new Tiburon and 5 times as fast.
Of course I'm not serious, I love the Tibs, but this would so be more worth the money than getting a brand new or even used Tiburon. Plus you drive a Porsche. You can't beat that. Everyone would be wondering where the heck you work but little do they know you can get one for under 20 grand.
My god... I'm sure that if my mechanic found one that was wrecked, fixed it up, he cold sell me one for $10,000-$15,000. Maybe even less than that. Need a new car mom?! hail.gif

hahah i agree, i have to quote you on that! but the insurance would be for my dad as well as under it. i'd be crazy to try to insure that car at 21! It would practically be as much as what he would pay for a brand new Tiburon right? My dad is almost 80 and has a cleeeeaaaaaan record.

dont want to sound crazy but even though it
is a porsche if u did a little bit of visual mods
(porsches dont need many) then the car would
be way different then any other one.
just my thoughts

Only 15 Grand!? I'd be all over that... Regardless of insurance costs fing02.gif
The same car in Australia would set you back around $55,000AUD (roughly $42,000USD).

The $19,000 Tiburon GT V6 lapped just 1.5 seconds behind a $57,000 Porsche Boxster S.

I coulda bought one.... but the inssurance would have killed me... they quoted me at $600 a month!!!!!!! and thats with a fairly clean record (it's cause of my age) so I'll stick with my 117 a month insurance payment and 95 a month car payment
