true, but buying a new R32 for $25K! That's a $7K discount! If he can pull that off, that'd be awesome!

 

CPO R32

http://edmunds.autotrader.com/fyc/vd...standard=false

 

If it HAS to be new, Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T

 

How much are those E46 M3s go for? It will be great if I can get some listing in the LA area..

That car actually was my dream car in the high school days....

 

OP, I would get GTI or the brand new MS3.

My friend finally purchased his GTI last week. MSRP was $28,500. He got it for $24,500.

The car is GREAT. I love it.

 

the 2005> models I found on autotrader were going for $35K+

 

I dunno maybe i can get a CPO GTI, thats my dream first car to buy Love that car, i think it would suit me perfectly.

Save some money with CPO and got Stage 1, and maybe get some nice springs or something with the money i save

 

Well if you go CPO then you can get a much nicer model rather than a base model. Like nokiaman said, it's just getting over the wanting to buy new hurdle that many do have a problem with, including myself at times. And of course the first time I bought a used the car it needed A LOT of work.

 

OP, I would just get a brand new GTI just because it'd be your first 'brand new' car.

 

But if he really is 18, insurance would be a lot more on a new[er] car than an older one, of course depending on what car he gets.

 

+1

Add the CSL wheels and you are set.

I've considered getting rid of my TL for a E46 M3 for a while now...I just can't afford it.

 

Whatever car i get this would be the first car that i well partially buy, gonna get some help from parents but still its the first car bought for me. This acura was given to me once my mom bought a new car.

So it needs to be the perfect car for me. I guess my best bet is to test drive cars to see what i like the best, then see if i can get CPO or new. Definitely not gonna do private sale, esp on some car like a GTI where the chances of it being used hard is high.

 

gencoupe.

 

^ i wanna test drive that car

 

another RL
wdp+gold rims

 

waste of time

 

^ idiot

 

explain?

 

He's obviously not been in one.

 

Definitely test drive options before you buy. I agree with GTI and Genesis Coupe 2.0T. Mazdaspeed3, although personally I don't like the 3 hatch. Mazda Miata. Civic Si. Subaru Legacy GT. Challenger R/T.

Some of these would be too expensive without going CPO, like the Challenger R/T. You could downgrade to base, but that's terribly boring... but definitely drive anything and everything you're interested in before shelling out.

 

no more new car for me after my G37.

Planning to get an used ap2 s2k with a nice set of wheel and coils for 25k next year

 

I would probably want to go CPO too, but limiting to new, I'd probably be taking a hard look at the GTI and the Volvo C30. The GTI/rabbit just seems so common it kinda turns me off. I haven't driven the MKV or the MKVI (is it out yet?) so i'd really have to see if it's truely the best car in it's class.

I really wish they'd just bring the scirocco here though

Personally if I were looking for a car right now, i'd be waiting/saving until I could get a CPO e92 328 coupe in my budget

 

Really you think the GTI is common, the rabbit might be but there are very few GTI's around here at least. Although i would say the volvo C30 is even cheaper but IMO i dont like the looks of it. I have alrdy test driven the GTI and i loved it, but thats all i have test driven so far so i can't compare really. The mkvi is hitting the dealers this fall. Another thing i can't decide is whether to get the mkv or mkvi, haha if i had that choice at the time i get a car. How many miles do you think you can get a 328 coupe cpo for about under 23k?

 

Have you test driven it yourself to determine it was a waste of time?

 

didnt he say new car??? horsepower wise - pontiac gto. overall - wrx

 

Kinda hard to find a new GTO

 

New for 25k? GTi or Civic Si.

Used? C5 Corvette or E46 M3.

 

not sure. I would have to do some shopping for new.

used would be a '08 Legacy SpecB

 

<-------

You'll be getting a nice performance ride that has some nice bits on it (Bilstein Suspension, Torsen LSD, leather seats), and you can mod the hell out of it. It is a bit stiff, and if so, look at a Legacy GT non specB.

Matt could tell you more about insurance, but a Subaru in general is low cost.

Test drive one, then judge. And getting it a year or two saves about 40% from sticker.

 

 

From the TourqueReport:

Brand new and around $25K MSRP. Not bad...

 

^^

Adding that to the list of cars to look at for the wifey.

 

Legacy is a great all around car with TURBO...

 

Just to clarify, the turbo is on the GT. The Legacy 3.0 or 3.6 are NA.

 

Ill do some research into the legacy, even the spec B. Dunno anything about that car.
Any thoughts on the new wrx? That car is insanely fast, 260 hp, awd, i believe. But thats all i know is good about that car is performance. This next car i buy I would wanna keep for at least 6 or 7 years so then by then i would hopefully have a stable job and everything and i can get a nice car. Hmm just imagine if the second car i can get is a new M3 or something like that.

 

I like the Imprezza, but it is a lesser car than the Legacy. The interior is that of an economy car, and there's a bit more road noise. Plus, in WRX form (or STI), it rides pretty stiff. The Legacy specB ride is a bit harsh, but is great if you track it or like to drive a bit, oh, spirited? The non-specB's ride is a bit softer and may be better over the long haul.

On the plus side of the Imprezza, it is a roomy hatchback (if you look at that model). I guess if it's for the utility, then the Imprezza makes sense.

Before I get accosted as a Subaru employee or pimp for the brand, just test drive a GT or the 3.0 and make your own conclusions. I definitely do not recommend the 2.5i, as they just do not have any power.
