    Default Another one of those threads...

    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

    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

    thanks guys

    edit: #1, added srt-4 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....

    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.

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

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

    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).
