T Rex Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Prefrences: Less than 12k RWD or AWD Manual Decent performance, doesn't have to be mind blowing. Reliable! Thats really about it... Kinda broad but I keep going back and forth on things. I have been looking at IS300's, CTS's (only the V's can't really find in my price range though), I found a few s4's in that range but not sure how reliable they are. All luxury cars.. pretty expensive with high mileage :/. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I wonder if the G35s have dropped into that price range yet? I don't know anything about them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1725749789.html fapfapfap ad says 10,200. They also probably don't know shit about the car because they listed it as a v6, and didnt list any of the other key features. Haggle away.

6 Speed S4 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 S4 if you got money for maintenance. If not... ummm G35 coupe or maybe an is300 5 speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 GTI??? I know one for $7,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 CTS, WRX, maybe an Audi or BMW or something. Can you get a Charger/300C SRT-8 in a manual? Although even if you can, they are probably out of your price range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I was looking at IS300's and was just about to get one, but I took out an B6(02-05) A4 1.8t 5-speed Quattro and it was over after that. The IS look great stock, but I was looking at major upgrades to make it as nice inside and out as the Audi. Plus right now you can find them from 7-12K depending if you want higher miles, lower miles, USP, FWD(don't think about it), Nav, sport, or 1.8t or 3.Slow. Anything over 60K make sure the Timing belt has been door or have it done asap. So if this will be also the winter DD the Quattro will really be something to look into.

Mr. Jones Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 That is what sold me, the first drive. When I bought my C5 A6, I was out driving everything for weeks. Drove the A6 and fell in love. Everythign felt right, and it ended up being the only car I went back and drove 3 times. Been sold every since... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downingracing Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Honda S2000. Can buy them for $10-12k in great condition. They are reliable (honda) and fun to drive. Plenty of power (240hp) and top down fun to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVRINGS Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I also was looking at the 325, but it was a little slow for me. I was looking at the x but that was even slower with the AWD system. If you can find a good 330 you get the power of the M without all the insureace. Also like Aaron said try to find a 6-speed, but in that budget it might be hard. My 5-speed does good, but a little high in the RPM's on the highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 325i can be sluggish from time to time but you have to floor it to open up both throttle bodies and then it really gets going. 325is is a fun car for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but a CTS or something is a lot more practical and daily driveable than an s2000. My daily my Z28 from April thru October, but fuck driving it in the snow. I drove my '92 Camaro all last winter and it was a pain in the ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
