Well.. If your here, your here to get some advice on the game.
 

~ Firstly, don't go straight to a car dealership and buy a car, you should try the Arcade Mode first and get used to some of the cars it has to offer. It will need some getting used to but when you do get the hang of those cars (many, many, many hours of practice) you shouldn't jump to a dealership immediately. Try go for your B and A license, for that is the key to this game. Without the licenses, you can only race the single race which gives very little money. So when you've passed the A & B license tests, head off to a dealership and buy a second hand car. I recommend the Toyota Supra MA70 Turbo( Not the twin Turbo), it has power, speed, and average handling. Since this is a rear wheel drive vehicle, you initiates will be spinning from here to kingdom come, so if you can find a used 4WD vehicle in your price range, grab it. The 4WD vehicles have better acceleration ( 4 tyres gripping the road instead of 2 ), better handling, but you may lack in speed what you gain in acceleration.

The rest is yours to discover.

Have fun !!!
