		 All the speed you can get for 5500?  Look used and look domestic - they lose value faster and can be had for cheaper. 
 
Other suggestions:  
- '98 Impreza RS.  Nice drive, good reviews when they came out, but might be tough to find one for 5500 in Cali. 
- '96 GTI.  Drove a vr6 recently (maybe it was a '95).  Nice and torquey, and the body style should be more practical than the celica or 240 for a daily driver.
