Default WTB: Fun daily driver

Looking for a fun daily driver under $9k

Prefer it to be within about 300 miles of Philly, PA area.
Must have clear title
If I can't drive it home I'm not interested.

Late-model Honda Prelude, I'd recommend. The only fun awd cars I can think of are turbocharged, and I can't imagine one selling for under $9k and being in good condition.

Sorry, this wasn't a suggestion thread. I was looking for people w/actual cars for sale.

I'm assuming you already checked Autotrader and Craigslist sites?

Keep your eyes peeled. You never know what you might find on here. A few years back I bought a '97 Honda Accord EX with only 40k miles on it off here for $5,000.

My vote goes to an AP1 S2000 with higher miles (highway) to get the price where you want it.

They are quality, and lots of fun.

The Marauder you listed isn't even the same type of car. It's a crown-vic with a stiffer suspension and a 32V motor. Slow, wallows through the corners, etc.
It's anything but "fun" unless pretending you are an undercover unit gives you a woody.
