Yet another "What car should I get" thread..

My lease is up in Jan '05, and at first i was thinking i would just buy my Cl-s, but with the transmission problems i just don't think i could risk the chance, plus i want a manual. Now i am torn between these 3 cars..

'03 CL-s (6 speed)
'05 TSX
'96 Supra Turbo ( hard to find)

The catch is I want my payments to be at around $400 or below, leasing IS an option. I would love to have the '03 CLS because i can get it for around $22k with low miles and transfer over my springs and wheels. I like the TSX because its 4 door and the interior is amazing, but a little on the slow side. And do i need to say anything about the supra?

Any suggestions, or other cars to possibly get?

From my sig, you should already know my answer , but I can understand wanting to get a something other than a CL. I still think the 6 speed CLS is hard to beat, and at good prices now too. Only other car I'd consider is a bmw330 coupe but costs more and is not as reliable. good luck.

If you want power, either the CL-S or the Supra Turbo...
If it doesn't matter too much, the TSX is and the TSX 6spd shifts like butta

check out this deal, only 95 miles from my area!!

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...or=&cardist=95

I don't think ill ever own a BMW, i have a friend who works there in customer service. She feels bad for the people who buy BMW's because she said from what she has seen over the last year, they are unreliable and if you have a problem with your car it taks weeks just to even get it in the service area.

O, didn't realize it was a tan interior, i want black....i don't think he would want my trade-in, kind of a downgrade.

Hobo~ don't know about a TT, they are fast, but i just love the way the supra looks....my friends mom has one, NA, and i dont even care that its not a turbo, i just looks badass and fast.... http://www.scottnemiro.com/images/supra/supra004.jpg

Here's a 6 speed for $18,900 http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...r=&cardist=989

those do look badass, but they have body modifications, im not really into doing that stuff.

Though, i just looked at autotrader for them, and they do seem to be cheaper, but there is like 2 turbo's within 200 miles of me, with high miles!
