What Would You Get With $18k?

[Rossim22]

That's about my price range. I am willing to pay about $200 a month for a payment, could afford more, but choose not to.... mainly because I'm still working at outback.

REQUIREMENTS


Has to be a car, no trucks or suvs.
Either 2-door or 4-door.
Less than $18k.
Quick but classy.
Manual.
Prefer RWD/AWD, but not 100% against FWD.
Prefer minimal modding.



My ideal car so far is a 2000-2003 E46 M3. Many can be found in my price range, they are sporty, fun, quick enough, yet classy and clean. The higher parts and maintenance don't scare me... mainly because most older guys/gals with bimmers don't think to look on forums for parts or help.

evo 8?

[stevieg]

+1 EVO 9 or any LSX car

[Jeffie ON JUICE]

03/04 cobra
Semi classy with power
I C u said no truck but maybe a Harley Davidson F-150 4 door with the Lightning motor
remember insurance and all the other shit in this factory, parts, up grades, bolt ons.

[Slide89]

twin turbo is300 fully built 17k

[Rossim22]

Only problem with EVO's is that I'm then thrown back into the tuner y0 scene lol.

[Slide89]

that is300 was pushing 865rwhp fucking great

[stevieg]

LSX car

The cobra is definitely an option, as long as I can find one that appears not to have been beaten to death. Insurance on my SRT was $200/mo, I got quoted $140/mo for an 01 M3.

[Rossim22]

I just added to the requirements, that I prefer minimal modding... no tt built is300s for me lol.

If you can get your own financing I can see about getting you this 05 STI w/40k miles for 18k probably less.

[Slide89]

I will have $8k+ to put down and my dad with very good-excellent credit would most likely co-sign with me.

The 05 STi's aren't my favorite, but I love 06's lol.

[Jeffie ON JUICE]

Just go take a look at BRITs STI its worth it man,
That means the caddy is coming back

[Rossim22]

I'm looking for something quick when its stock... because being a busser/host at any restaurant is nothing to boast about, so I won't have much money to mod. Therefore, I want something a little more upscale since I don't have to worry about going for all-out quickness.

[Slide89]

so you need something good on gas right??

[Rossim22]

so you need something good on gas right??

Well I guess not terrible.. ? Lol. I don't have a long commute to anywhere. I was alright with the M3's 16/33mpg rating lol.

[bimmershark]

well for you could probably find a decent non modded e39 m5 at 18 k or slightly more but the maintenience would be killer for a busser.

I was looking at them, but they really don't look very good to me. What about the maintenance is so expensive? If there's no warranty on the car, then I don't have to go to BMW to do anything. Oil changes are oil changes. Brake pads are brake pads. Nothing BMW specific.

[Slide89]

dude you can get a g35 or s2k or 350z a wrx and you can get these a lil modded to my boi got a s2k with 6okmiles for 10k

[Rossim22]

Not interested in s2k's.... for sure. They're sick little cars, but not what I'm looking for.

[Jeffie ON JUICE]

Brake pads aren't brake pads, there a ceramic pad so u go get it done at a FireStone,Tire Kingdom, Tires PLus u are gonna spend atleast over $225.00, its everything is more $$$$$$ when your buying a name, shit breaks and needs to be replaced and when that happens its no so cheap.

[frank]

The Sti Brits got on the lot is clean man, Just go take a look at it.

Yeah, I will. Not in a huge hurry to get anything done right now, just looking for ideas. Have to sell the bike and car first anyways lol.

However.... it could be a lot faster if he takes a trade in for what I owe on the accord... :ugh2:

01 Accord Ex Coupe with 118k miles. :thumbup:

a bunch of hookers

[metalhead131]

Maybe a nice c5 vette. Their nice cars, reasonably quick, and with little mods they make good power. Plus you'll have somewhat of a decent gas mileage.

That's a sick car bro. Definitely looking into it.

18k after the 8k down? i assume since you said 200 a month

for me evo 8/9 or brits sti. you can get a ctsv a c5 vette or even a cobra.theres a ton of choices depending on what you want out of it should determine what your choice is

Yeah, the loan should be about $10k max.

[BoostedK]

The price is negotiable on that 350z.. offer them like 13k :)

[Acuracy]

Acura TL lol. A 2004-2005 can be had for that price range right now. Not as fast as most of the vehicles listed though, it only manages mid-low 14's and high 13's with bolt-ons but for luxury it's hard to beat. Major problem for most people would be that it's FWD, and I doubt you'd be interested. I may be a bit biased :P

[ISMELLRICE]

yeah that 350z is nice...
way too many on fmr lol...

[pdexta]

A 15k C5 vette and 3k in mods. Nothing will touch a vette when it comes to price, handling, reliability, response to mods, IMO.

I agree that corvettes are pretty sweet, but not what I'm looking for. And definitely no auto.
