So I pretty much have a budget of about 5k for a car. As much as I want to I don't think I could afford any BMW to truly enjoy and appreciate it. Right now I am looking a neighbors 1998 Chevy Z28, 1999 Acura CL 3.0 with a manual gearbox, or anything really under 5k. I have driven the Z28 and have fallen in love, but I am afraid of the how do you say "american" in it will have it fall apart within the next 2 years. And as for everyone here not thinking I can drive a stick. I learned how to about 3 years ago on a 1972 Volvo E1800 with a clutch that 20 years old! An automatic is out the question. So any suggestions? THANKS!! :biggrin:

I don't think you can go wrong w/ the Z28 .. had a 2001 SS .... don't let the badge fool you .. in today's world, most american brands have a lot better quality control. The plus is that there are a LOT of aftermarket parts and shops that will work on this car ..
Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with that choice as long as the car has been kept in good condition ..
thanks,
