car quality info image
Dylan
I am planning in the future to attend a rally car racing school. It would be neat to become a professional rally car driver. What vehicles from the 1990s (maybe early 2000s) are durable and tough enough to withstand specific driving requirements? My friends have suggested a 1995 Suburu Impreza. Are there any other vehicles that would be a possibility?
As far as the money goes, in the near future I wil have around 7-8 grand. I am just completing college right now. Thank you in advance!
Answer
If you are planning to actually compete in rallies or other motorsports events, do not just pick a car because you think it will be good... consult the rule book for the series! Without this knowledge you are most likely to get a car, that well fun or even quick, is most likely one that will not be competitive in the class you will run (small chance you may just be lucky to pick one that is, but larger chance you'll completely miss).
Once you understand the rules, take a look at the possible classes where you will run and find one that best fits your budget... with $7-8k, you will really be able to spend almost $3k on a car (about one third of your budget for the car, another third to prep the car for it's class and for safety requirements, and another third to cover the costs of equipment and competing your first season).
Once you have a class picked out, look at the results for that class from previous events... most likely you will see only a one or two different models that are competitive in that class. Those are the cars you have to pick from!
So while any variety of car can be a decent choice, if you want one that will actually be good for the intended purpose, you will need info on that purpse first.

How much would it cost to fix the fender of this car?
Mike
I got a car donated to me from a friend, but the right fender is pretty much smashed in.
It's not horrible but, its definitely noticeable.
How much would it cost to get the fender fixed? No paint job. Just getting it pushed back out. Its nearly the entire right fender being smashed in. This also has caused a gap in the passenger door.
People have told me 300 dollars. But ive also heard people say 1000-2000. I'd rather just get a new car having saved that 1k-2k.
Answer
I search relevant products on Ebay, price of fender is between $100 and $300 too. If you want to get more accurate budget on cost to fix the fender of your car, you may call some of your local auto shops to check.
Go to Yahoo Local to search auto shops. Search results should contain contact info and comments of auto shops. Then call them to check the final price.
By the way, an advice for protecting your new car.
Better prepare a quality car cover for protection. When you park your car outdoor, it will keep your car against rain, dust, scratches from pets, tree branches and slight collision, bird droppings and so on.
