Hey...

i looked for some used cars... (mostly at www.mobile.de)
u can get a '90 e30 w/ about 60k miles for 3000$,
a 87 supra w/ 30k miles is only about 1500$, a '87 rx7 70k miles 2000$ and a '83 944 70k miles 2000$.
so what would u recommend to buy? Can I drift any of these cars more or less stock at the beginning?

FOERST make sure none of the cars are rustbuckets and that they run properly with no real issues. any small issue it may have when you buy it will only worsen once you start swinging the car around unless you can completely fix the issue. make sure to check the vehicles history too. mileage is always a defining factor unless you are planning an engine swap. so make sure to get the chassis mileage and the engine mileage (engines get rebuilt;typically a chassis does not).
then find out what cars you can easily find replacement parts and aftermarket parts for? make sure you can find things like swaybars, VLSD or LSD, coilovers, other suspension pieces (different for most cars), and of course power goodies. those will be some of the FOERST mods you will want. after searching for parts if you still have a couple cars left look at insurance costs and regular service costs. sometimes they can differ greatly from one model car to the next.
otherwise the rotarty engine tends to be finicky and likes alot of attention....this is all from what i have heard.....but a factor none the less.
