so I've been actively searching for a car that would be a little more exciting than the celica lately (sorry!) and what I found is quite sad. I'm looking for anything around under 13k but the more I search the more I find horror stories
 ...First I wanted a WRX, but their transmission are **** and If I pickup a used one is bound to blow on me. Second I liked the E46 BMW, the 328 more precisely, but it looks like E46 are prone to rear sub-frame damage due to manufacturing defect, real ****ty! I thought about a DSM...woops crankwalk here. 350z are too expensive and have their share of "problems", though not as bad as the 3 previous ones here. 300ZX twin turbo are getting too old and are just money pit from what I heard. Supra? Ah! their resale value are too high, though I would have loved even getting an NA. MR2 are kind of expensive for how old they are now, JDMs are cheap but its a gamble and harder to get what you want. 2003 3.2CL type-S, Fast and reliable..6 speed with LSD! but..I'm not sold on how big that car looks...and its FWD :S Miatas...I LOVE miatas but for what you pay, its still a slow car. So far, I'm stuck! But right now I'm looking at 98-99 M3's..it seems those BMW are more reliable than the newer ones. Anyone else have some trouble finding the perfect car? Some day I feel like if I had more money all that **** wouldn't be an issue. Sucks to like sports car and being poor
