Default Help me out here

Should I buy a '93 LX hatch with 77k for 5,000? It looks immaculate but it's an auto.
Or should I get a '90 GT hatch with 55k for 5,000? It's not quite as clean and has a few scrapes, but it's a 5-speed with better mileage.

I'd go for the GT if it were up to me.

an auto can be reall really fun with a stall, 4.10's and a shift kit........ just with the shift kit its more fun imo than a 5 speed....

Get the LX Hatch.... there lighter, and an auto is better for racing at the track, throw a lentech valve body, stall, and 3.90 gears and your all set for the 1/4 mile. The GT is a heavier car but I am just partial to LX's .... either way good luck... it is up to you and your taste and intentions.

Depends on what kind of driving you want to do. The auto is good on the strip but manual is good on a road course. But if you are getting it to have a quick car and driving everyday get the auto.... Its your choice just plan for the future. You dont want to do a swap that takes time and money later on.

They are both really good deals. Get whatever one is more appealing to you.
