Car Choices
Well, I'm starting to look into the car market because I'm planning on buying a car sometime this summer or earlier if I find an amazing deal. I'm looking for some suggestions in the used car market for the following specs:
-Under 10k when haggled down (maybe a bit more)
-Preferably 6spd manual, 5spd is ok too
-Preferably sedan but coupe would be ok too
-Peppy, kind of sporty, and fun to drive
-Above 25mpg
-Run up to 150,000 miles without major problems (probably Japanese)
-Under 50k miles (need it to last about 7~8yrs more years)
-Not older than 2000 model year
So far I've found that and 04 Sentra SE-R Spec V matches what I want but I'm just not sure about the 150k miles part. Does anybody have any other suggestions for cars to look into? If I don't find anything I like or if I fall in love with the xD, I'm planning on buying that and just financing it.

well, you didn't specify whether or not the car was nice looking, but the dodge neon r/t puts out like 150 hp which is okay, and the ford focus svt has 170 hp, 6 spd manual, xenon headlights, you can get them in 3 or 5 door body styles.
also, a new subaru impreza base is lik $18k, and so was the lancer ralliart, which is about what a nissan sentra se-r spec v costs new also right? the vw was kinda fluffer because i don't feel like they have good longevity.

I don't want a Neon or a Focus because they are Dodge and Ford and I said I want it to last 150k miles. That number may be pushing it but I need at least 120k out of it and both of those will give me problems. Impreza and Ralliart will both still be high above the $13.7 I can get a spec V for. When I looked into the impreza, I had to go up to some pretty high mileages to get it in my price range. As for my original $10k price requirment, that is if the car is actually used, meaning like over 30k miles and older than an 05. If he car is almost new I 'm willing to go up to like $14.5.
