New Car Options Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

Im looking to get a new car. This really sucks because my budget is about 20 - 25,000. I will not take a Scion of any sorts, Dont like any of the new Toyota cars and a new Lexus is out of my price range.

Any ideas on cars? It needs to be a 2006 or better. Ive thought about the Mazdas and thats a no go in my opinion. This sucks because its not like i dont care about what kind of car I get. Im a car girl and I need something that will not have me regretting my choice within a year.

I actually test drove an '06 Sentra SE-R the other day and it was incredible! It has Nismo wheels and Nismo exhaust system as well as (I don't know if the SE-R's came with it) front and rear strut bars. It has been sitting on this lot since new and has less than 100 miles on it. Their asking price was 20K, but we had them down to something like 16,800 out the door.

ok so uv basicly ruled out the only car company that is making cars fun now a days.

i havnt seen anything in the past 5 years that i would consider buying, except for some Mazda cars. (3,6,mx-5, speed3, speed6)

seriiously tho, take a look at a used mazdaspeed3 or used mazdaspeed6, both 2.3l turbo motors, the 6 has AWD leather power everything, and navi....new its like 30k base, the top of the line is 32k...u could probally find one off lease for your price, it gives fun, and luxuary.

id seriously reconsider your anti-mazda sentiment

so no mazda, no scion, no lexus... so used acura RSX type S? if that doesn't fit your needs, dodge neon SRT-4? if that doesn't meets your requirement go buy yourself a hyundai tiburon

[devilsden97]

used s2k (15-20k)
used sti (26kish)
used wrx (20k)
used srt-4 (its a turd)
used camry (lol grandma car)
Honda Element SC (new..no idea on price, 25kish is my guess)
Honda Civic SI (used or new 20kish + options)

What sucks about a budget of 20-25k? Thats alot of money, your already looking at $400+ a month unless you have 10k to put down.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

I live at home and make rougly 2,000 a month with only a cell bill to pay so i can afford a 400 car payment.

I know some of you are going to say move out but Im holding off another year or two so then I can buy a townhome rather than spending 900 dollars a month on rent to live in the area I do now thats close to work.

Im thinking of going wrx with a boxer engine which would be about 28k. A little more than I wanna pay but I cant let myself settle on just something to get me from point a to point b

[BlackCelicaGT94]

Oooh I didnt even think about Nissan. How about the Nissan Altima Coupe?

[tomazws]

A brand new Civic Hybrid fully packed with nav and everything is less than 25K =P

[BlackCelicaGT94]

I just called my dad and hes going to look into the altima coupe. It has the looks of a g35 - mmmm...and if i didnt need to have everything in it I could probably get one near 22k.

[tim86]

my buddy has one of the new altimas... theyre really nice and i like how they look too

[BlackCelicaGT94]

are they rwd or fwd? i have a feeling its fwd but I couldnt find it on the site. I didnt look to hard tho cuz im at work.

[95CelicaST]

I think FWD. I was looking at one yesterday. Looks like the G37 to me.

[Supersprynt]

They're FWD.

awww poor baby thats it?? lol

Im kinda opposite of you right now. Lately I have been thinking about selling my Celi (getting tired of the car payments) & buying something flat out so I dont have to make payments, might not be as pretty But it will be worth it to not have those car payments anymore (i think) SO I have been looking around for a cheap sporty car...no idea what i'd get though

[BlackCelicaGT94]

get a gen 1 integra or something Amy.


yeah 20 - 25 isnt a bad starting point but its hard to find anything that is new with the sport/luxury feel.

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

2007 Civic SI Sedan.

Hey Natalie, get a JETTA haha joking.

if I were you i'd get a 3000GT, cause they are sexy imo *drool* i'd get it if I could afford it (oh & yes i know its doesnt meet ur requirements)
