Need advice, which car should I get??
 
Alright guys it is car buying time and I want to make a good decision. I can't go above the $32,000 mark and I don't want FF, a Honda, or nothing more than 12 years old.
Here are the ones I was thinking about:
RX-8
Mitsu Evo
Subi STI
350Z
G35 coupe
RX-7 (3rd gen)

I am open to many other ideas. Any opinions would be appreciated. :D

EVO period no questions

mit5005 09-28-2004 07:58 PM

Yea the MR looks really nice and the performance is awesome. That is one of my top picks right now for sure.

Well of course I want a sporty car with good handling and some good pick up. I also like the AWD that the 2 rally cars have. Looks is not that important because I like how all of those look. I am just wondering which is the best for the money when it comes to handling and performance, etc.

Best performance for the money--I would drive what ever feels the best--check out a '93-'94 Viper I have seen some nice ones go for $30,000 with low miles.

How about Supra?

Are you serious? the insurance and upkeep on that car would be a bit much especially for an 18 year old male.

If you want AWD and versatility with 4 doors and 4 passangers along with trunk space get the EVO unless you want a car that litteraly begs for attention and doesn't even havea radio standard.

If you want a Small Sports car I would go for a G35
Personally I think the Rotary cars aren't all they are made out to be.

Many more choices available to you than that. What about a Z06? you'll not get much more 'pick up' than that for $32000 lol

What about a 993? or an M3?

The advantage with the japanese cars you've mentioned though is that you will get brand new, or nearly new with remaining years warranty. On the flip side you will lose a lot in depreciation.

Yes I am serious, mit5005 never said insurance was a factor. If you want something hot you might as well go all out; if you want to play you gotta pay.

I would go with the STI. It is practical and really fun. Very fast too.

From the cars listed i think the Lancer Evo is the best one, but i would also consider the very competent WRX.

Except there are many cars that will run rings around the 93-94 viper for its age and price.

Hands down the hardest hitter in this price range (as suggested by TA2001) is a 2001 Z06. (some '02's are also getting to the low $30'Ks)

This is of course only important if performance is the number 1 criteria.

The needs of winter driving, 4 doors and 4 passenger space would require you look elsewhere.

So - how serious are you about going, stopping and turning at super car levels....? ;)

RX-8 RX-8 RX-8 RX-8 RX-8 RX-8 RX-8 RX-8 !!!!!!!! :D I may have a basis :roll:

It'd have to be the 350Z for me. Great looks, good engine and good chassis.
