Hey people I'm getting another car and i just wanted your inputs on the cars I have in consideration. If there's another car that you think will find well on the list don't forget to mention it. I'm looking to spend around 20k on my next car.

toyota supra
Mitsubishi 3000gt vr-4
honda prelude
BMW M3
Lexus SC400

thanks a lot guys

What year M3 did you have in mind?

Where are you looking? I'm also from Gaithersburg!

Zoot

Is this what u already own or is this the list? If it is, good luck finding them for 20k.

i think you could find some of the cars on the list for 20k.

spend 10k on a (nice) nissan sylvia/240 sx then spend 10k to build it. that would be fun.

I wouldn't consider the VR-4. They have a really bad problem with their transmissions. It's a german getrag unit and un-repairable. If you get the SL in an auto or 5 speed, they are better. I shopped for a VR-4 for years but settled for a SL when I found out about the trannies.

thanks guys. i'm pretty much looking on autotrader.com and ebay. Do you people know of any other place to find a car? Yea, supra prices are outrageously high.

you can get a 95 m3 with like 50-75k miles for 20g i think that is your best bet

Type S

if i were u ..i will definitely go with BMW E36 ///M3
that is the car i always wanted...and tons of mod potential...
and my second choice will be JZA 80 TT Supra...tons of mod too..and stock TT supra has 80HP more than E36 ///M3...
u will definitely feel the turbo boost as 2 of my buddies has TT supras and dinan supercharger ///M3(E36)..

Supra:
what years? last gen with twin turbos, you'd be *extremely* lucky to find one for $20k in good shape. $$ is bloated.

3000gt VR4- is not a bad choice, but a newer one in excellent shape and low miles is going to be 25k. You can most defeintly buy an older one for cheap <$10k and spend the other $10k fixing it up. Might be a cool idea. if you are good at working on cars.


prelude:
should be easy to find one, odd choice consider the other cars.

M3:
you might be able to find a e36 M3 for cheap, going to take some work, people say it handles better than the e46 M3.

sc400:
I would get this car if you can find one for $20k. Probably the most reliable of the bunch next to the prelude. And still pretty quick.
