I will be going to my credit union in a few weeks to talk with them about a car loan. I am doing this, pretty much solely because i need to get some established credit.
I would like to stay between 20 - 30k. no trucks or SUV's, and I want something classy aka not a camry or some other every day vehicle.
possible choices i have been thinking about are:
- Audi A5/S5
- BMW 335i (twin turbo model)
- BRZ/FRS
Ready, set, go!
What do you have in terms of cars now? What are your priorities (reliability, speed, mileage, cost, comfort, seating capacity, etc)? Do you get much snow?
i have the vr4 and i dd a mazda 6. in my past i had a lifted and built jeep wrangler and a $400 1990 POS corolla.
i want something fun and reliable. fun doesnt mean fast (take the FRS for instance). cost is obviously important hence the pricing i gave... otherwise i am up for whatever.
i gave example cars so you can see kind of what im after. and ky doesnt get much snow.
You're looking for class, BMW/Audi is my vote.
i told you... An LX Sport crown vic, 2003.
I wouldnt own a german car w/o a warranty.
So that leaves the Toybaru cars.

I have a repair shop...and I HATE phucking European cars. They're absolutely horrendous to work on/own/maintain...the people who have em, really pay the premium for the name. The engineering is backwards as hell and so overcomplicated its stupid.
Finance an EVO...8/9 wont dissapoint..;)
Only problem with that is..if you start modding it, you might loose interest in your VR-4...:D
another vote for evo.
although, i think the frs isn't bad. probably a bit pricey, but not bad looking, and it's rwd, right?
can you use sti/ wrx pieces for the frs motor? if not, evo all the way. if so. hmmmm. i'm still a mitsubishi fan boy.

ediT: i do have a friend with a 330whatever twin turbo beezmer, and it's a good looking car, with lots of stupid toys.
FRS, Euro cars usually have a maintenance tag on them that no one wants. Google BMW cooling system problems for giggles. Every BMW I have ever worked on has oil leaks as well. Happy shopping!

I really like the brz/frs, but throw the Hyundai genesis coupe into consideration. It is only very slightly bigger which you'll notice when you're inside and has 76 more hp with the 4 cyl turbo. I think the package is called r-spec that gets you brakes, suspension, and wheels. The 13 year model as redesigned and looks a lot better than the outgoing model imho. All this for around 28k iirc, it's been a little while since I looked it up.
Good luck!
