Looking for a vehicle ~ $30000 Advice please

[liueorama]

Hey all,

Been thinking of getting vehicle around $20000-$30000 not including tax or options and just needed some opinions if there are any cars out there that can fit within my budget (preferably brand new vehicles) Been looking at the Mazda 3 speed/acura csx any other options out there?

Also found couple 2nd hand vehicles on the listing like a 2003 G35 coupe so confused about wheather I should go for a fresh out of the dealer car or a 2nd hand car.:dunno:

Looking for a lease of 48 months, prefer manual but auto is fine. And coupe or sedan makes no difference to me.

how long are you looking at leasing it...does it have to be auto or four-door:confused:

wow this is only like the 34th time this has been asked this week

Well. I am going to assume it can be standard as the Mazda 3 speed only comes standard.

But it depends on what your looking for. but cars on your list is fine, but if you want AWD you should consider the Subaru Impreza or spend a little more and get the WRX

used Subaru WRX?

yeah really going towards the mazda speed 3 but acura csx is tempting as well. Audi A4 2007 is hands down sexy but starting off at 35000$ is a little harsh on my wallet.

I have an auto G35 coupe that may be in your range with only 35,000 kms. Why spend the money on a mazda 3 when you can have a real 285HP ride.

You would be able to buy The latest model (06) for around 30 grand.

I highly doubt you can find a G35 for 30 grand especially 06. It also depends on if you want the coupe or sedan. and lets say its the base sedan, no one would take a 13-15g hit in less then 1 year.

But yes. G35's are nice if your getting a used one. But my previous comments where to brand new.

I was saying you could get a 2006 wrx for around 30 grand.

You would be surprised how many people take much larger hits than that in the forst year of depreciation. Much, much, larger.

Btw, why can nobody make a fucking decision around here. I'm all for helping someone who has done some research and shopping on their own and has narrowed the choices down to a couple specific examples. But how can this guy be taken seriously... he has abosolutely no criteria for a vehicle, other than a price range. Infact, there have been too many posts lately where someone has nothing but a price range... sometime I wonder if they think they're bragging - "I've got $30gs to spend... look at me!"

Idiots.

Just buy a fucking car, it's not like there is some mighty shaman on Beyond that can predict exactly what you want. You will get better information on a car research site than you will from a bunch of brainwashed teenagers.

I'm not saying there aren't people on here that can help, it's just that they need something, anything to work with. IF someone was to come here with a concise list of questions comparing an 03 G35 coupe and an 02 BMW 540 M-Sport (for example), then you could get some pertinent information. When someone comes in asking "how do I spend $30k on motorized transport?", it leaves alot open.

I can't take anyone seriously that says 03 G35 coupe and 06 X-Trail in the same breath... everyone is providing their two cents, but it isn't going to accomplish anything if the buyer is all over the map.
