You have 15k and you need a car. Only requirement is that it has to be turbo, manual and must be newer then 2002. Ideas?

A legacy gt might be hard to find for that price. I think next in line for me would be the saab.

I've seen pictures of it before but I can't seem to find them right now. I didn't look it over as if I were to purchase it, but in passing it looked to be in good conidition.

I have done hundreds of pre-purchase inspections for customers when I was in the biz, since LT lives near me if anyone is serious about purchasing it I will perform that for no charge, you know as a retired old guys contribution to the community, and the fact I am going stir crazy already!

15k, you could find good deals on a X type. I would look at 2001-2004 Lexus GS. Or if you really want turbo. Go with a B6 A4, or 2004 Saab 9-3. Or even a 2004 Volvo s40 T5.

For $15k I'd make a nice down payment on a new 335i coupe or a used E46 M3......
