Someone offered me about 4x what I had in to my GL-10 Turbo wagon, so I let it go. Now I need another car, stat.

I'm looking for something around Ft.Collins and the only real requirements are:

it's interesting (has jalop cred)

Less than $5k (flexible if requirement below is well met)

It's a bargin (or at least not overpriced)

I strongly prefer a turbo, manual, hatch/wagon, but I am ready to branch out and try something new, too.

I'm not sure what Mazdaspeed3 goes for but that's my suggestion. WRXs might be a little harder to come by in FL and will likely be overpriced.

Mazdaspeeed 3 is way out of my price range, and although there are plently of WRXs here in Colorado, right after the first snow, they are absurdly overpriced (and also way out of my price range)

OppositeLock's number one Miata that isn't a Miata.

I like where your head is at, but it got down to -7F this week and I drive about 2,000 miles a month. Also I'm not nearly enough of a badass to drive a rock crawler down I-25 in a blizzard, though I sometimes wish I was.

Interesting. I might look in to that one. I can't believe I didn't think of an actual Miata. They should be really cheap this time of year.

Used first gen Outback. Dirt cheap, reliable, manual offered, and I'm sure you can find a turbo that'll fit on one.

If you put a topper on it, it's a wagon...

There's also this one. It's an extended cab with a topper (that doesn't match the color), but pretty high mileage.

From autotrader...

2004 Jetta GLS 1.8T Wagon with a manual... though it might be a little far since it's in Denver:

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/…

And if you want a diesel, here's a 2001 New Beetle. A New Beetle isn't very Jalop, except this one is a manual TDI...

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/…

From Ebay classifieds:

Jetta TDI for only $3000

http://denver.ebayclassifieds.com/cars/fort-coll…

2005 PT Cruiser... though I think $5000 is a little pricey for a 2005 non-turbo PT:

http://denver.ebayclassifieds.com/cars/greeley/2…

And for two 'out in left field' picks...

Toyota Previa:

http://denver.ebayclassifieds.com/cars/fort-coll…

Lexus SC300:

I didn't bother checking Craigslist since others have already done that.

Already deleted that ad, but the winner was a '95 1.8L Impreza for $1500. Tires are ruined, and hood is crumpled, but needs must. Short wheelbase will be a nice change.
