Yes, srt4 is my first choice, I forgot all about the mazdaspeed but still think I'd choose the srt4 over it.

Lol, that is true. Maybe a deal will pop up over here. Ive got three months.

Well if you don't mind driving to AZ and 116k miles

$14k, 2002, 72k mi, located in NY

$14600, 2002, 71k mi, located in MD

That's just what's on AutoTrader now. If you arrange financing in advance and show up with a check or cash in hand I have no doubt a dealer would sell you one of those 14k cars for 11-12.

Thanks. I'm still really interested in one of these.
I loved my SRT-4 and its the best bang for the buck, but at 25, it doesnt feel very "adult".
Now I just need to research maintenance costs and see what tends to go at aorund this mileage.

true, nowadays most SRT-4's in your price range are mid to high mileage. (like mine)

A bit more and you can have an awesome ITR. And yes, the backseats are big enough.

2002 Mach 1 mustang.

they have a handling upgrade and some power upgrades and run mid to low 13s stock from what I understand.

Might be worth looking into but I dont want to sound like a fanboy.
