I'm looking for a car max. $20k or less

1. S2000 (2000-2001)
2. Acura CL-S 6MT (2003)
3. BMW M3 (1997-1999)

Since the price i'm looking at is kinda low, the cars should have lots of miles on it.. but oh well... what would you get if you have to pick one of those up? I might get one like March or April, 2005 (then the values of cars will go down more!)

 

I've got a 03 CLS 6spd.... need I say more...

WA is probably too wet/cold to really enjoy a 'vert year round, but if it's a second car (weekend driver) go with the S2000.

It really depends on how you plan on useing the car.

 

M3. Man those cars just drove so amazing. Will be higher mileage than the others probably and more expensive to maintain but man that thing drives like a dream. My mom had a 97 that i still kick myself for not buying when I got my cls.

 

college student, s2000-- pick up the girls, have some fun.
but i'm biased, i'm want one.

 

cls 6spd.

 

nippon, youre selling the cl next year? id say cls anyway.

 

m3...no question...my boy got one and i love that car

 

i dont think you can get any of those for less than 20k without some pretty high miles. Get an SRt-4. I will get flamed for this. but its the best bang for the buck at 20k if you are not into flossin.

 

I'd go for the M3 as well. Only one of the three available in auto format.

 

E36 M3
B5 S4

 

An M3 with a lot of miles = very expensive to maintain.........

If you can fit, get the S2000. Awesomeness w/Honda reliability

 

Myth.

 

S2K

 

Acura CL-S 6MT (2003)

You have Luxury & Sportyness...

If you want to make it faster...CT Headers & Intake...

I think the CL-S is a great all around car though...plus you cant beat what you get for the price...Its practically fully-loaded out of the factory.

 

Quiet you, back in the hole

 

Acura CL-S 6MT (2003) - but I'm biased...

Got the following installed: CT i/sc/h/b-pipe/e/springs/sways/strutbar, plus 18" rims/sticky tires/brembos/konis. Net result: 305/262 WHP/TQ of rip-roaring fun... great acceleration, cornering and braking

After nearly two years owning it, I still can't wait to drive it before and after work.

 

we have a board member selling an s2k w/ 30K for 17.5K

 

uh, there was just a thread about a 14k 6spdcls so i dont know wtf you are smoking, between this and trying to piss off lambo owners

 

 

s2k

 

hmm...

we got these votes..

6 ppl for Acura 3.2 CL-S 6MT
4 ppl for M3
5 ppl for S2K

personally, I like CLS most.. and then S2K, and the M3 least..

M3 is little old.. and s2k is little small..

but CLS is newer, bigger, 6spd, etc..

but the most expensive than other twos.. so yeah..

hmmmmmmmm, gotta wait till next march..

let see..

thanks a lot!

 

 

B5 s4 or s2000, or m3

go test drive them, and report back
