Dude I dont think your getting the picture. Listen to the advice above, Dont worry about buying import cars without steady income first. Even a 5K S13 turbo will set you back on transfer fees, petrol (98 octane), insurance, service costs, plus who knows what else!
Just GO THE BUNKY! Put up with drooling over the import cars you see on the street. It will be soo much sweeter owning the car you want when you know you worked your ass off for it and didnt bum the cash of the folks. :headspin:
I owned a $500 corolla for about 3years before i saved up enough cash for my R33, but first day driving it home DAMN!! ---need I say more?
Ohh yeah by the way hate to tell you but an S13 silvia is a pretty small car dude, you say you dont want a little car? S13 = approx 1200- 1300kg id call that little!
