$50-60k... Depending on the car and the deal...
I want to see the updated 2013 in person. Interior is supposed to be even nicer...
So hard to find a used M3 sedan, let alone one that hasn't been heavily abused...

would it not be worth it to maybe wait a little and put in an extra 10k for a new M3? Or is that too far over budget?
if not i say go with audi s4/s5

After a 30minute drive to riverside, with the AC blasting, turn the car off. Fan turns on to cool off the engine, and I open the door and I see this. I took the pic later so there was some more. Just wondering which fluid it might be? I wanna guess coolant? Cause it wasnt water for sure. I felt it and it seemed a ltl viscous.

I should mention its towards the front drivers side of the car. To the left of the battery, didnt really wanna make a new thread for this thats why i'm posting here.

there is a crack there but i dont think that is exposed pipe, i think that was just the liquid. As you see in the other picture it has foam on it
The AC water was on the other side lol. This wasnt water.
My dad told me to check the radiator fluid so i'll probably do that. Although i dunno if there is a measuring stick for that since i've never checked it before, we'll see.

the exhaust pipe? I checked my power steering levels earlier and it isnt that, which has a pipe that goes near the drivers side wheel as well.(that is also leaking, very slowly though, i refill like every six months or so lol)

I'd look at an 05-07 Porsche. You can find them with low-ish miles for that money.

I want to go check out the 2013 S4 in a few weeks when things with work and school die down a bit. Apparently dealerships have just started receiving them in. The real life pics look more aggressive than the ones Audi published.

oh. I missed the part where you were buying it new. I would say M3 in that case. I am not too big a fan of the new ones.

Yea, as much as I'd love to get a 911, I need a sedan right now. Maybe in a couple more years I'll have enough disposable income to pick up a 911...

the upgrade is minor though, in terms of performance. Top speed has gone up by only 2 mph, and 1/4 is 0.1 sec quicker, they don't say the difference in speed. Looking quickly I am seeing 135 mph for the first version, which would make sense. 16 hp is not going to give you much more on trap speed.

What do you guys find to be the best place to search for used cars online?
I've been using cars.com lately... Any others you find to be more extensive?

Whats up with RDX owners?

Cars, AutoTrader, even eBay if theyre local. If you have your sights set on a specific car, check out the appropriate forums.
And I guess it doesnt hurt to look on Craigslist.

Craigslist - but it is kind of a pain in the ass because everyone thinks their shit is worth way more than it should be
Autotrader seems to work pretty well
