My buddy got an 03 with 55 on the clock for $10K. It's a nice car, but he was disappointed with it's performance. Albeit, he can't drive for ****.
I'm in the same boat though, I need a new car soon. The Accord is pushing 215K, not that it won't run for another 85, but I need to start looking. I have been eying a Fairlady Z; they are relatively cheap.

You like to work on cars, and no muscle cars were mentioned? Feh, Chevelles, Novas, Satellites, Early Camaros and Mustangs, Impalas, Cutlasses, hell, pretty much anything from that era. Find one in poor shape and go to town on it. Couldn't ask for a better hobby vehicle, guaranteed to suck away all the extra time, money and ambition you have. And when all said and done you end up with something alot more worthwhile than just another hopped up riceburner disposable car. Least thats the way I think of it. If you wanna go rice find a wedge model 300zx, circa 90's like
You can get them pretty cheap, they are fast as hell and look nice, but I'd still stick with a musclecar if I could find one.

Get a Mitsubishi Lancer, I loved mine until i hit a bridge!!!
They are affordable as well around 6 to 10k
But there are tons of mods for them and if you get one i can sell
you my Evo carbon fiber hood, 18"wheels with new tires and a carbon
fiber evo wing for a good price too. hehe

Cobalt SS is the worst car ever they have no resale value and they fall apart. I worked at a Chevy dealer for a few years and that was the only car everyone hated selling because we knew we wouldn't get a repeat customer.

My sister bought a new Cobalt. What a piece of $hit. She's had it about a year and the amount of work it's had, both by the dealership and by me to keep it running right has just been rediculous. Who the hell came up with the "Engine Power Reduced" function anyways? Serious POS.
