my friend is getting a loan and he is wondering what he should get , around or below 10k ,newer than 03,less than 100k miles, awd , rwd prefered , needs a backseat , he has a 240sx as a project car... so this would be his dd but he still wants it to be fun.

Took the words (letters?) right out of my mouth.
You might be able to stretch and get a good deal on an early GTO...

A quick search on Autotrader.com (manual, AWD, <100K, <$10K) turned up a number of choices: Many Subarus of various styles, Audi's aplenty, and a few Jag X-Types.

Plugging his criteria into Naples, FL autotrader returns either a '03 Mustang V8 convertible or an '03 MB 230c Kompressor hatchback.

I'd look into the GTO's:

he should get rid of the loan.
yeh, he wants rx8 or wrx , he's into jap, manual so it narrows a few things for him...
First though RX-8, second, GTO.

I used jaxed.com
There were others under 10K, but I narrowed it down to FL.
LS2's were considerably higher....but an *LS1 would deifinitely be worthy.
*EDIT...that is, if he were looking for a GTO.
