Having delimmas picking a car

[MWAKU]

Ok if you know my story my parents are buying my car, and they are forking out cash, and i am forking out cash. But since they are paying for a majority, they will only buy my automatic, since my red Ps are auto. I could get a manual, but that would be like March next year, which isn't that long, but i don't want to wait. The budget is 10k.

I am planning to sell the car in a few years to get myself a DC2R. So basically i don't really care if the car is auto or manual anymore, its just my daily. And it has to be 1998+

1996 Silver EJ8 55,000Kms w/ log books - 9200$ (its under 98 so its kind of a :| with my dad)

Or get an Integra, or a tiptronic prelude. Can't decide, i'd rather get an Integra or a Prelude, respectively.

Prelude i haven't ever really thought about until now, its tiptronic, VTiR.. trying to pick one up for around 9-10k.

I have one Integra in my eyes, been about for a month now, i tried to organize an inspection, but it always got canceled, either i was or he was busy. Now his taken the car off for a bit, until his ready 2 sell again. I want it, but how long is a few weeks. The Integra is obviously GSi.

The Prelude, wells i can live with it, though i want someone to take me for a spin see how it feels lol. If i can, trying to pick up a VTiR for around 10k, or probably just end up with a Si.

The EJ8 VTi, i don't know, at first i really wanted it, now i am having second thoughts, though it would be the best on fuel i guess, and parking. But then again, i don't know. Preludes stretches my budget a bit, but i think about be a better car. And integra fits snuggly with everything, just nothings for sale thats worth it, only one is the one I've got my eye on, but his not selling atm.

I think i am a bigger fan for the Integra, and the prelude.. but ughhh, i don't know how to split the cake. Zzzz such a long post :S
