What car to get?

[01ULEVTW]

i would get something reliable if its a DD, something relatively inexpensive to fix and cheap to maintain >>6G sedan w/5spd<<

you would also have a little left over with the amount you listed to do maintenance and make sure the car is in top shape.

-cargo room

-safety (self-explanatory)

-reliability

not just because your on a 6gen forum, you know

I myself had a 6th gen V6 coupe, and after mine got totaled, i searched around for another car, and couldn't find something i like that was as well balanced as a 6th gen sedan...so i got one.

/love story

Glad your ok and hope everything works out for you man.

we start with:

probably $7k-8k

Naw it's cool. I'm thinking of RWD or AWD.

and come up with:

get a subby preferably a wagon! wrx wagons are so BA!

TL!!!!!!!

used MS3 (mazdaspeed 3)

yup...and its FWD nubcakes.

i might get one down the road though...i like em.

01 Audi A4

Mk III GTI...

1999.5-2005.5 vw products

MK3 gti is what i'm looking for...but it's also FWD so it fails in this thread

SC300!

Mk III GTI...

He said "reliable"...

 

[FlipStylie]

He said "reliable"...

No, the OP said $7-8K

and prefers AWD/RWD


Thanks for your contribution though...

BTW,

You can get a good mileage Audi A4 b5 Quattro for $8K easy. I doubt there's anything really worth buying that's RWD and $7-$8K except an abused 240, maybe an older 3-series, or even a mustang if you are so inclined. If it were me though, I'd get a mk3 GTI since you can get one in pretty damn good shape for the price, and I think it's a classy pick.

All things considered, give up your awd/rwd ambitions and just buy one of the 6th gens for sale on the forum.

SC300!

I would love to get one. But they are so hard to find in manual trans.
