I want a second car as a fun alternative to my daily and I've been looking at financing a ~10k car to build my credit (looking at putting 3-5k down immediately on it for low rates) and paying double or triple payments so it's payed off. No, this isn't the best way to build credit, but considering how little I spend my money it'll be a better fit than another credit card. Car I'm currently looking at is a 1st gen Mazdaspeed3 >FWD Yep, but it's also got a 0-60 in under 6 seconds, which isn't bad >4 cyl Only 8 cyls I could finance in this price range are 2006-09 mustangs, and I really do not want those. 2010 at minimum. >why not get a Miata I also wanted 4 doors and a hardtop. pic semi related.
Kinda worries me, it's been in Nevada and I know Nevada uses road salt. Don't these occasionally have issues with rust? It's listed for 9,995, and MS3's don't pop up often enough for me to really get a gauge on price.

2008+ V6 models all have 280hp

Out of curiosity when I look for specs you have two different 08 Accord V6's pop up with the same HP/TQ ratings, one about 100 lbs heavier, but the heavier one has a recorded 5.9 0-60 and the lighter has a 6.1? It's not a very big difference but one is faster than the MS3 and one is slower lel.

The coupe is about 80lbs lighter than the 4dr. It's a midsize while the Mazda3 is a compact.

But i mean both are listed as "coupe" they just have different styling, IE has a grille with horizontal lines across it and the other has mesh. I know the JDM/USDM styling was different so I'm wondering if the faster one was JDM only.
