looking for a new car

[domokun]

well, time to get another car. Evo is turning into a dedicated TT car so now its not street legal

what can I get as a good DD, decent gas mileage ( I dont drive that much, maybe 1-2 a week since I walk to work and walk to everything else )

what I plan on doing with the car is daily drive it, and auto X it ( light mods )

what I want
manual
RWD or AWD
handles well
PREFER forced induction
PREFER 4door
decent gas mileage
something newer than 2002
under 20k ( prefer under 15 )
under 30k miles ( hopefully )

options that I would like, HID's, leather, moonroof forsure

let me know what you can think of

[Deggy]

How much are you looking to spend?

[Mr. Brett]

How about a Quick GTP?

[CobraSnake]

ummm i'll look later

[Deggy]

How about a Quick GTP?

He is looking for RWD.

[WhatsADSM]

IMO with current gas prices you should just get a civic and call it a day.

Otherwise WRX looks like it might fit the bill nicely.

[johnny--2k]

not for the options he wants and mileage....

[Deggy]

I agree with getting a Civic or some sort of 4cyl with gas prices. I know it isn't RWD/AWD like you want, but if you are DDing it, why the hell not.

Prime example. Simple Search, Subaru Impreza, 03-current, 0-$20,000

Not a single WRX came up. All base 2.5i's

[WhatsADSM]

Yea I don't know about the options, I don't think they came with HIDs... But mileage should be okay, he said he was willing to pay up to 20k.

[johnny--2k]

ok, go out 50 miles and there is 1 2005 wrx, but it has 58,xxx miles!!!

Bad search. Do a better one:

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...00&cardist=300
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...00&cardist=272

*Edit* with his strict criteria you will have to look a little distance... that is a given

[johnny--2k]

Allright, I got one for ya....

05 Mustang GT Coupe, Black Leather, 5-speed, Sonic Blue, 32K miles, shaker500, just under $20K

Edit:


what I want
manual - Yes
RWD or AWD - RWD
handles well - Pretty Good
PREFER forced induction - Nope
PREFER 4door - Nope
decent gas mileage - Yes, if you dont flog the snot out of it, you could get in the mid 20's freeway
something newer than 2002 - Yup
under 20k ( prefer under 15 ) - Yup (nope)
under 30k miles ( hopefully ) - Just a hair over

options that I would like, HID's, leather, moonroof forsure - Leather, no moon, no HID's (that's an easy fix though)

Well, yeah, I figured that out, but does he really want to go to 200+ miles, or even 90 miles for the heavily modified one in downers grove? And how many miles are on that one (body wise)? Gotta be high miles to get that price...

I was trying to keep it somewhat local.

All I am saying is they are available, it fits what he is looking for. No real need to argue about it.

Here is a quick search on cars.com. Think some of these are even local.

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...eadExists=true
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...eadExists=true
(Price not listed but should be under 20) http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...eadExists=true

But yes a newer stang isn't a bad choice either.

[johnny--2k]

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing about it. I'm agreeing with you, there is a lot of choices if you search some distance, but since he didn't post specifics about local or not, i just figured better safe than sorry.

let me know what you can think of

mileage and price not be right where you want but i know you can find a NICE 03-05 Audi A4 with either a 1.8T or a 3.0L V6 with 30ish K miles for around the 15-25K mark. i would look into a USP (ultra sport package) myself bigger rims/aero kit/ etc.

60K miles 03 A4 with some mods
CLICK
the only other USP a4 within 100 miles. 55K miles for 20K
CLICK

and here is just a A4 search
CLICK

i vote that cause it's modable. It's a NICE car not another boy racer car. AWD for winter a lil 1.8T is still good on gas. 6spd! or auto if you perfer.

if you decided to look into the Audi scene more jump over to www.audizine.com and take a look at whats for sale. or tonight i will look around what meets your wants.

[johnny--2k]

good call on the Audi's Flick! Not in the mileage range, but def in the price range and options wanted!!!

[Poncho]

How about a Quick GTP?

how about a Z06 with Powdercoated wheels?

Don't worry about insurance, just slip some money under the table.

[Car Guy]

I'd go with a Subaru before an Audi any day, especially for a DD.....
