09 WRX is money for the price..to bad I think it looks bland

holson · 01-21-2009, 12:03 PM

2009 Mustang GT - base.. with discounts and the 2010 model coming it might even be less than $25k

For:
+ good looks
+ awesome sound
+ decent interior
+ VALUE

If you get a used one it's even less than $20k

330Ci 6mt (if you could push it to 30k you could find a nice e46 M3)

S2000

Used 350Z (facelifted model)

+1 to all of them

i loved my G35 coupe. the mazdaspeed 3 and the cobalt ss have been getting great reviews too.

Take half your money. put it in your pocket.

Then buy a e36 M3 for under $10k.

NEGATIVE.

that 10k is going to cost you a lot of main fees.

Not a bad idea. I have had two G35's. I liked them both but do not really want to go back to one. I like the thought of a SRT8, but not sure what it would be like driving an SUV around everyday. No much talk about Audi or Lexus. Both come in AWD which I think is important. Thanks guys. Still not sure if I am getting rid of the 335xi but just in case. Appreciate the ideas!!

I just saw a 2007 335i Sedan, auto, dinan chip, with 12k miles (I believe) asking $24,999. It was on autotrader.

Are you looking to lease or finance?

If you want to lease, what payments are you looking at?

You could get a new A4 really nicely loaded for under 500/mo with nothing down...

Beautiful, drive great and AWD.

That's exactly what I'm doing. Cosmos Black/Black leather, MT coupe with $95K miles in great condition, all service records including oil change every 5K miles since "birth", no accidents for $8.2K. I had a higher budget but I decided to save some money for when the economy, inevitably, will sink further.

"The night is darkest before the dawn." I want to have that extra cash as my flashlight.

Really? I have yet to sit down with anyone but I am a big fan of the new A4. Would like payments around $500, that would be great.
