Need new car ideas?

My CL-S was totalled today.

Need to get a new car this weekend.

Something under $25k

I was thinking another CLS maybe 03 CLS or IS300 (Used)

Long shot but maybe a S2000. Not really practical as a daily driver and in rainy WA.

Any ideas? I want something luxurious but sporty.

I was thinking about a Gs400 but they are kind of big cars or maybe they just look really big. CL is a big car too but doesn't seem as big.

used 350z, new or modded RSX-S, used is300, used mini, used a4, new or modded wrx.

an s2k isn't very practical to have as a primary car.

try to avoid the S4 / e36 M3.....well, unless your willing to pay $$$ to maintain&repair the two.

not a myth. I almost (a signature away from buying) bought an e36 M over the summer and did some research into it. imo it's just not worth it to have a fast car that frequently needs to be in the shop for minor problems. hell, even m3 owners complain about it.

I don't want to be the second/third/fourth owner of an S4 when things start getting dirty (turbo).

But like in all situations, you might find the creampuff that has one owner, weekend driven, and old lady driver.

Used RX8. I bet now you can find some around $25k because some people have opted to return the vehicle since Mazda screwed them over with the hp.
