Another one of those threads...

[403Gemini]

Well im happy to announce i quit TD canada trust. HAH take that TD... and found a new job. a new steady job. a new steady job that pays me enough money for me to be happy ;) (40k a yr actually hah not TOO bad for being 23 yr old!)

So of course right away im going to clear off my student line of credit and visa. that should take a couple months...

2nd... im looking for a new(ish) car. around the 20k mark.

Ive essentially tossed up a couple options...

97+ prelude
02+ type S
3rd gen integra (gsr)
01+ gts celica
97+ mustang gt
srt-4
1999 BMW 323

looking for something sporty, 2 door (4dr if it has enough power to back it up haha), and has ENOUGH (heh when does that word every really have meaning in the car scene ;) ) hp to make me happy... also keep in mind im coming from a 124 hp saturn so im sure mostly any of those will keep me happy

also if theres any other car you'd like to add, lemme know and why :D

yes i plan on driving some of these ahead of time to get a feel for what its like (mostly at dealerships cause i dont want to waste private sellers time and just test drive their rides)

So lets start another one of these threads :D

thanks guys

edit: #1, added srt-4 :D totally forgot about it!

edit: #2, added 323 bmw (found some nice ones for 20k, 99

Lets not?
You don't even know what you're looking for..... and you're not going to be buying for another 6 months. Couldn't you have looked at the other bajillion "what do i buy" threads? The cars you listed have been compared to death.
At least it's better than your old thread with the 5 year plan....

congrats on the new job :thumbsup: where are you working now if you dont mind me asking?


btw: 20K ---> buy a used BMW, you wont regret it :)

Hmm I think he knows what he is looking for....
:rolleyes:

I also say buy a used Beemer.
Coupe Hondas and toyotas and all those other Japanese cars are mostly for kids, if you know what I mean.
Move up to a bit more class, comfort, and luxury.

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Used BMW or Jaguar. Lots of power and much nicer than an RSX or whatever.

[CryoCarnage]

almost all those cars are wrogn wheel drive so.... Mustang FTW! oh and youd have lots of fun with a stang. i sure do :D

i dont agree with the mustang part but I do agree with the wrong wheel drive list!

get a nice rwd car that will handle properly or get a nice AWD car that with launch like it should :)

[403Gemini]

hmm never really investigated bmw's much. what you guys recommend ? just like a 325i? what year would i be looking at for 20k?
(and arent repairs expensive?! :eek: )

[Weapon_R]

For under 20k you will probably get a late model E36 (323 or 328) or you might be able to squeeze a higher mileage E46 (323 most likely).
