New*ish car Purchase Advice.

[filthiestek]

Well, I finally sold the Hatch. Now I'm looking for something new. I'm tired of building civic's and Integra's and I'm looking to kinda move up in the world.
Here are my requirements for the new Purchase.
1. Under 75,000 Miles
2. Somewhat Sport Somewhat Luxury.
3. Under $15,000
4. Must be able to be Financed through the bank.. ( So something like a Supra or like is out of the question)
5. Will be somewhat Modded. So considering aftermarket parts price.(Intake, Exhaust, Suspension, And some deep wheels)

I think that is it.

Now what I have been considering but definitely not limited to if you have other opinions.

1. 04+ Acura TL
2. 00+ Honda S2000 (Not to luxury but I do like the Interior.)
3. 03+ Infinity G35

Had considered a Audi A4 02+ but aftermarket world is a little pricey. But will consider other models if you guys have any other suggestions.

you dont have kids so enjoy a sports car. good power , rwd , fun to drive. a s2k stanced with a hardtop is my vote.

I love how we go between the same forums.... Haha were having this exact same conversation currently on another as well. I hear you bro. I am leaning a little this way as well... Only downfall I see is I wish the interior was a little more luxurious.

Hummm, my suggestions, Lexus GS300, a Maxima, or maybe a old M3.

[anthonyisd3ad]

try looking into is300's as well. the lexus community is a great one and the is300 is sporty, fun, rwd, and moddable. i sold mine and i regret it

s2k's are to inconvenient for me. my friend has one and it is an awesome car but if u only plan on having 2 ppl in the car max. he dailys a camry so if its snowing, raining or he has 3 ppl with him hell just take the camry

g35's are awesome cars as well. lots of fun and lots of power but if you are in an area that has a good amount of now i would reconsider the a4. they are fantastic cars. awd, 4cyl turbo and a good amount of aftermarket. also the ppl on the audi forums are friendly

Lexus IS300. 2JZ, RWD and luxury. Also you can find for under 15k.

Im on my second one. :)

dude i sold my is300 in perfect condition with all my goodies for 9500. my friend andy just sold his is300 with a little under 80k miles for 6000 and all it needed was 2 new o2 sensors. you can get them for pretty cheap and still be able to mod it nicely

[DRedman45]

audi or porsche imo...it looks like you want something jdm though

Holy shit 6k for 80k miles. That seems really low?!?

i still say the grapejelly tl is sooo effin dope!

[filthiestek]

Ive looked around at IS' but the majority of the ones I have seen under 15k are all pretty high milage. Or higher than I am interested in.

E30 ftw :D

Bought mine for 900 and have been putting work in to it and it turns more heads than both my integras plus best of all... No car payment.

Yea there are even harder to find if you want a 5speed. Just got to take you time. I flew 500 miles to get my first one.

Also I would recomend a tsx, with a k24 and a turbo you cant go wrong. Or even a TL

it was alittle under 80k. it had a few imperfections like it was keyed from quarter panel to passenger door but it was silver so you could only tell if you were looking for it, the headlights needs tlc because they were filthy and scratched up, and the front and rear bumper needed to be repainted being that we live in queens ny. but the guy came down, looked at the car, handed him 6k with no questions asked and left with the IS.

Still sounds like a really good deal if that was all that was wrong.

[mshriver]

I vote infiniti.... The only other cars I can think of that havnt been mentioned are 05+ legacy GT limited, e46 Bimmers, and v6 accord coupes

[filthiestek]

Still trying to decide. Kinda leaning a little more toward the G35 right now. Definitely going to be looking into the BMW a little more. Lexus just doesn't seem like exactly what I might be looking for anymore. I like the cars but I would like the Manual Trans, and the milage just really isn't there.

[NINE]

Pick up anything yet?

I thought about a BMW but man parts and repaires are alot higher then on a honda...

TL!!!! Ha
