gettin a new car

[RoyalFlush]

hey guys, im getting out of the 240 game and purchasing a new car, i just need a more reliable car.

im looking at not spending more than 20k, and i want it to be at least as new as 2005

im thinking between a subie wrx, unfortunately not the sti b/c its too expensive, an audi a4, or an older g35

any recommendations or suggestions?

thanks in advance for any input!

eff that. just get an s-chassis and don't modify the engine. there. reliability. done.
if i was in your shoes tho, i'd be looking at legacy sedans. so i could make it look like these. (hope nobody from nasioc minds me jacking photos from them :bigok: )

I jumped into the legacy water... I don't regret it so far. Stay far far away from audi and vw if you want reliability and affordable maintenance.

[RoyalFlush]

yeah ive heard that about the audi, and moddin gthem is supposed to be a bitch, i really wanted an older m3 but i just cant pay 15k for a almost ten year old car

Exactly what I was thinking.

[womenbeshoppin]

honda fits are sick, slow as fuck, but sick.....

[Kaizen.]

My boy bought a 06 Legacy GT brand new for 28 out the door. Foor doors, 5spd, fast, and a fat trunk. Shits sick. He loves it.

[exitspeed]

For the price you looking I'd go with the new Astra.

Or a civic or new corolla.

[Daniel.]

new civic or corolla ftw

[RiversideS13]

i think it is all depends on what you are looking for. but try to stay away from european cars.

get a used rsx type S, it is pretty fun to drive
or used IS300 5mt

[shmiddy]

i like the cts prett expensive but a beautiful car

by the way whatcha doing with ur 240 (if you dont mind me asking)

how are they sick?

Economical yes.

sick no

[lovely240]

thats what i wanted to do, i sold my 240 and am saving up for a STI, i have a 03 f150...so i live in the mnt and was coming down today, we hit a STUPID ASS rock and now the front diff. is messed and the frame is bent on the truck...GREAT!!
so now i gotta get back into the 240 game...just so i can have another damn car!
im pretty pissed...
anyone got a nice 240 that runs?? PM PPLEASE!!

[womenbeshoppin]

how are they sick?

Economical yes.

sick no
ok fine, sick no. but cute YES! if i was a chick it would be my #1 choice

[Anto]

Get an S2k.

or a fit

[Yuri]

i really wanted an older m3 but i just cant pay 15k for a almost ten year old car

Yeah, you should do what I did, and pay $17k for a 10 year old car.
What's really sweet is the utter sexiness combined with total lack of reliability.
But hey, buy what you want.

If I were you I would get:
1. Brand new Saturn Astra.
2. Mazdaspeed Miata
3. E46 BMW.

[02BRB20]

03 M45

Altima
IS300
TSX
some american car

[Unholy S14]

you can get a 05 GTO for around 20k now

a 04 for less. I love the car and its a blast to drive.. Dont let the pontiac badge bother you because its not a pontiac lol. Sure it has the badges buts far from it.

cant beat a 350 to 400hp V8 car, RWD, LSD, 6speed, etc for 20k

[Frosty_spl]

In a couple years, im going to have to give back my mercedes lease, and Im going to get a 91 911 with low miles. Then prey my modded 240 won't get stolen as a daily driver.

I must have a 911.:bigok:

[xkamikazestormx]

AWD - legacy (those are sick!)
RWD - s2000
FWD - new civic si

[status:one]

350z or G35c

[ByeByeSti]

New cars and your looking at audi and subie.

either an a4 1.8t awd or an s4 ftw!!!

or subie.. newer legacy 2.5gt spec

[silviaguy240]

BWAHAHA sorry, DO NOT get an Astra. THEY ARE SLOW AS BALLLLLLSSSSSS! maybe with some after market help, or maybing throwing the super charger from the Cobalt SS or doing a motor swap they are definately not worth it for doing basic i/h/e combo, your looking at something that will be just as fast as a 240 but FWD. yea the 3 dr's look pretty good, thats about all they have going for them. seeing they have a 1.8l 138hp 125ftlb tq 4 banger ecotec...

they have shitty rear visibility, just about the same or less rear passenger room as a 240 and probably less trunk space. oh and another thing, your looking at ~19,100 for the 3dr astra xr with nothing on it as at this time they only come in the XR trim level,

and you only have 5 options for the car


4-speed automatic transmission $1,325.00


Advanced Audio Package $595.00
Includes AM/FM stereo with 6-disc CD changer, MP3 playback and 7-band equalizer, enhanced information display and 7-speaker premium audio system.

Premium Trim Package $745.00
Includes leather seat surfaces, premium door trim, front high-sport seats, door pocket lighting, 3-spoke sport leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and Driver Information center controls, driver manual lumbar seat adjuster, and heated front seats.

18-inch star-spoke machined alloy wheels(2) $495.00

Heated cloth front seats $250.00
