Best car to buy up to 25,000???

[2.2vtec]

What would you guys consider is the best kind of car for under 25,000. Keep in mind one with very low kms(not more then 3 years old), very good speed, nice options, and has some class??

[max_boost]

VSMsir should post up a thread what t-shirt should I buy for under $25 that is used but still has class

Isn't this a car forum used to talk about cars???? If I wanted to post best t-shirt for 25 bucks dont' worry I won't ask you!:rofl:

[max_boost]

Don't you think this topic has been over killed? Every week there are multiple threads on what car to buy. The responses are the exact same. If you add a couple more $$$ you can get this etc.

And like you don't know what car is good for $25000, if you don't, are you really an enthusiast?

[2.2vtec]

I haven't driven many of the cars out there and was simply directing the question to people who has had personal experieces from the car. Reading reviews is sometimes biased.

I haven't really been reading the other threads on this topic. I'll just do a search instead!!

Or go and test drive a bunch of cars and decide what one u like best not what other people like.

:thumbsup:

I think that you will find people are VERY biased towards their car (me included) You dont want to buy a car that other people think is cool...you have to buy a car that you like and serves your needs...with 25k and the fact that you dont need a brand new car you options are about a mile long. Go for a test drive marathon...its more fun than hearing us bitch about other cars and about how cool our cars are!

BTW...buy an RSX they are the best car EVER :tongue:

What type of vehicle are you looking at? Sedan/Sport Sedan/Couple/Hatch/

for 25K I'd test drive:

Sentra Spec V
Focus SVT
Civic SIR
Integra Type R / GSR if you can find one
GTI VR6/1.8T
Jetta VR6/1.8T

That's just some compacts of the top of my head.

He's just looking for some info on a car, who said anything about being an enthusiast? now that I think about it... what is an enthusiast?

why do you guys always point to me to have a jackass comment, damn guys tyhe pressure, well iam off to take a shit, just thought id keep yeah all informed

[rice_eater]

SRT-4

[Weapon_R]

For a classy car, get a Jetta 1.8T. The 2002's can be had for less than $25,000 with leather. Low km's on a 1 year old car, and a really nice car. Interior could use some serious work, but otherwise a good value.

Although I can't agree with you on the leather. I can't stand vw/audi leather, stiff german masochistic torture seats IMO :rofl:

Well your daddy of all ricers, just tryin to be like you:rofl:

Getting this thread back on topic.......







Do you have any preferences to make or country of origin?
If not there are a good few cars to be had for under $25k.
I'd look for a third gen Integra GS-R if you're goin' for a Japanese car. If German then maybe a GTI would be my pick.

Hope that helps :)

For 25,000, I have an impreza you could have. It's a sweet ride.

[Dope Dealer]

RSX Basemodel.

[mad_psyentist]

How about buy a used (insert car here) for $10-15K, and save the rest for a rainy day (eg. swapping, tuning, etc...)

[ae1969]

HOw about a FOrd Pinto........... with optional roof rack.

[rice_eater]

how about a first gen neon for $4000 and 21000 in mods!!! That would decimate everything! No but really...why not an SRT-4! Has what you need: Low kms(it's new), very good power (nothing in that price range comes close) all the options you need, and if that thing doesn't look/sound mean i dont know what does...of course that'll mean that you wont be able to drive any of the oh so popular/loved rice machines...errr...imports :D

I was thinkin' more along the lines of 'Nissan Micra, but even better.

[That.Guy.S30]

subaru impreza!! hah
a jeep tj if your into camping and shit
the jetta's are awsome but damn seats have to go.
i would rather buy a new car than a used one. less problems

[Ben]

what the hell is with you people complaining about VW Leather seats?

Is it the fact they actually have support and dont give you back problems? or is everyone such a soft ass that needs nuturing :rolleyes: :rofl: The Leather seats are not bad! Mind you this coming myself who has Factory Recaros ;) They Own.

BTW, this is a great buy!

Sunfire yes, Cavalier, no. I made the unfortunate mistake of renting a '03 Cavalier, and the damn thing nearly beat the stuffin' out of me. No head room (the door jam is RIGHT above your head) so the ride went: bump 'Ow' - bump 'Ow' - bump 'OW', the doors don't open all the way, so they come back and Tanya Harding you in the chins. Ugh..

Neon's are good, tho. Nimble little things. I know they're not Ford, but If I had to buy Domesic, I'd go for the Neon.
