Suggestions? Prefer something with low miles at this point. I've also driven relatively huge cars. Camaro and TL, both over 3400 lbs. Pigs for their time.
Nothing heavy when it comes to maintenance. I'd like to be able to fix it with myself with basic knowledge and hand tools and at most, an OBD-II scanner. My friend has a Solus I think, but hell if I remember how to use that.

Not sure the MS3 will be under $25k. The 3s Touring starts at 25k before TTL & destination. I'd think a new MS3 would be above that.
I'm just being patient & waiting for the 3s with a 6MT, personally. Can't stand the tiny digital tach & want a bit more power than the 3i had.

What did that S5 MSRP for? $45-55k somewhere?
It is 3, almost 4 years old too.
Costco, have you looked at a GTI?

It's a great car...but, still, not "cheap" per se. Maybe that's the cheap in me talkin'.
