Default New Car

Well, as im getting closer on having the stang paid off... Ive been really considering trading it in for another car... Im hoping to get around 9-10k for my car 02 gt with 40k miles on it... and I was looking to get a subaru wrx STI and havent seen one with decent miles for under 25k... and If i were going to spend that type of money I would buy a BMW or a Mercedes... Im looking to spend around 20k including my trade in with the stang... what other cars do you guys suggest in that price range... Ive been looking at bmw 3 series and mercedes c-class... also lookin for somethin that rides nice and also good on gas...

Well... since you were looking at the STI if you can swing about 6k more I would go with the 2009 Mitsu RalliArt. Its pretty much the same as the EVO but a different turbo and a more conservative tune...

A buddy of mine has the 08 Lancer and its really nice inside I was very impressed.

Well what are you looking for? Something that's driveable year round or another summer car? Because you're looking well in the price range of a Termy. 26k for Lance's haha.

if you get a bimmer make sure its a bi-turbo V6 those things are monsters. i love a BMW 335i even though i seen a million and 1 onf those a day i still like the way they look. i heard that the new 135i has the same engine but has a cheaper price tag!


if you want better GAS MPG than a STi is not where its at. those ***** get around 20 MPG's

the 335i is expensive as hell for a 20year old (i think that's how old stan is)
