$50K-$55K Car

[pinoyhero]

I'm getting the damn itch again. I have been leaning towards the 2004 S4 but would like some other ideas...what would you buy within my price range. Not overly intersted in spending 40 then dropping 10K into the car, i rather just get more car right off the bat. What else should i be looking at?

Infiniti M35/45 seems to get excellent reviews all the time.
You'd probably have to go 1-2 years old on these IIRC.

[?????]

Looking for used only or brand new too?

[gcycheun]

spend $9k more and get the new 335i coupe, I love the car

Or are you thinking practical?

A little large and old manish for me, but i agree they get dope ass reviews.

Starting to really feel the 2004 545i as well now...

Prefer used, more car for the money and no as much depriciation as i seem to only hold for a year or 2 at most.

Can't justify the depriciation on new cars.

Need to be a bit more practical with this one, the impractical one's gonna be a 2005 350 slk.

Audi TT the new one is fuckin wicked. Not sure on the price though

If I were u I would go with something a little different from everything else, different and well respected obviously. I would go with a Saab 9-3 Aero, or even a 9-5 aero, awesome cars with awesome performance. Forget the beemers everyone seems to have one these days.

With winter around the corner, how about a slightly used STi. And during winter you can mod the STi for summer

01-03 M5, 04 545, etc.

i personally riding a boxster, great car!!!!
BUt carrera is even better.

if u get a chance, try to purchase at Van, they re cheaper and more reliable.

He said he doesn't like depreciation...

SAABs are horrible for resale. They are different though.

Yeah I've been thinking about a 911 but Im kinda worriedabout getting a 5 year old car with no warranty, and i'm assuming these things are expensive if there are any issues....

2002-2004 M3 coupe

Buy a 2004 S4, or a 01-03 E39 M5, or perhaps a E46 M3. But your going to get the most car with the S4 or M5. I would really suggest the S4, you get AWD and IMO the nicest interior in the business and the newest car of the bunch.
