No way man, if you ever watched The Fast And The Furious, they took a junker Supra and turned it into a 9 second car. All it took was overnight parts from Japan, some kid with ADD to do the design and a lifestyle that is lived at ten seconds at a time.

 

yeah i agree with bullet magnet, id say look for something with a lot of documentation. for instance a car that has been well maintained and has the right amount of mileage for your price range. If your moms a crack ***** then maybe under 10k is good. (im not being serious, just using as an example!) If your mom is rich, tell her to get a 370z . but if shes right in the middle tell her 13-14k should be the right amount.

Be careful though because when i was doing my research on a 350z to buy, i found a lot of dealerships will still charge 13k for a Z with 120k miles...dont be retarded! lol. i bought mine for $12,500 with 78k miles. It had a clean carfax and received a clean bill of health after a pre-purchase inspection.

good luck on your hunt!
