there's more to a car than performance.

im prob the minority here but i would buy a roller mustang coupe that has a 9in mini tubbed and other goodies for like 5k on racing junk....and throw a lsX in it with a 400. prob spend like 10k and have a nice 10 sec car on a small shot.
use the other 15k and buy a condo somewhere for 100k and rent it out for the mortgage payment.

300 SRT8
Jeep SRT8
Trailblazer SS
Used M3
Honestly if you want space the Jeep and Trailblazer are good but performance wise it's still a semi-heavy SUV.
An SRT with air-ride would be sick...

Just think Porsche! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) If you look hard enough, you'll find one in your price range. It's about 2k year maintenance for a DD but worth every penny with all the fun you'll have driving it.

Or you could just play it smart, and purchase an 03 cobra. You can't really beat it. I believe that is the best bang for your buck.

be practical about what you're buying, dont overstretch your budget and be realistic about ur situation. its easy to buy a lot of car by financing but do u really want to do that for 5 years? i prefer paying cash on whatever extra cash i have on hand and would only consider financing as a last resort option...not saying youre financing but if you're take that into consideration.
I believe I've said this on occasion but it was taken completely out of context, funny how when you say it no one says a thing, not directed at you. If your in the market for a
25k dollar car, you shouldn't be looking at high end Audi's, BMW's or Mercedes. A good car to buy would be a Lexus LS, GS, Infiniti or something along those lines, reliable and affordable to maintain, not some car that would be a nightmare to maintain, good luck in your search.

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?
I act like I'm@Age15
I make friends on the internet that are@Age18
I was picked on in my youth so I became a bully@Age24
My mouth started to run 24/7 on the internet, but my car never at the track@Age26
First pubic hair@Age30

My internet friends and I ALL just got the boot for good!@Age31
Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

Still looking around. So far i've checked out a couple of Audi A6/S6 which I like alot, checked out an 2005 M3 and today I should be going over to a Lexus dealership to check out a IS350.
Can't make a move until I sell the cars tho.

is350 or g35s would be nice shit even a cts-v but like ppl say....audi, bmw, benz and so on are nice, but to maintain might be a issue something u should keep in mind
regardless of what u end up buying, goodluck man

Thanks alot man. The Infinity is another car i'll take a look at. I'll probably make the rounds to all dealerships just to check out what they have since I'm probably overlooking a few cars.
