What Car Would You Buy...

[brandondan1]

For a DD? Probably a TSX with nav. Good handling, high revving engine, nice amenities, and Acura reliability ftw.

Tough choice but I would probably go with a Toyota XRunner or an Imola yellow Audi S4 wagon w/ a 6-spd trans(rare). XRunner can be had in a 6spd as well and has a .91 G rating on the skid pad.... not bad for a truck. I've always wanted an S4 wagon tho. they're just soooooooooo sexy.

I'd have to go with a well sorted stage 3 B5 S4 avant. Or the nicest e46 M3 that 25k would get.

I bring home a decent salary, especially considering the cost of living in Oklahoma, but I'd have to make quite a bit more money per year to even THINK about spending nearly $30k on a car.

But then again the girlfriend and I are about to buy a house, but keeping the expenses low enough that we could afford it on her salary alone.

...if you had $27k to spend and could pick anything at all for your daily driver.

Ready... set... go!

EDIT: what about something either brand new or only five years old?? Figure you're gonna put 40 miles a day on it.

Even with this edit. I'm still sticking with my first choice. And if i do get a better job here. I made up my mind. I am going to get a Syclone or Typhoon. But for the edit, there is nothing in 2004 that i'd want. Most i'd go would be an 2002 Pontiac Trans Am.

bingo. audi knows their sport wagons.

[Massive Lee]

A pristine e36 M3 would make a super daily driver, and will leave you with a lot of cash for strippers...

[e30trooper]

have to go with one of my most fav cars of all time, s15 Nissan Silvia, One it Looks GREAT, Two its fast for stock, and Three you never see them in america and they only cost around 20,000 to import on and then do some nice mods to it

[THATDONFC]

Well I'm buying an e46 m3 on sat for 18k. I would spend the rest on upgrades.

[EricT]

Honestly....I would fix up my e30 for a daily....right wheel drive with lsd is fun in the snow.....and spend the rest on a 86 or 87 Shelby Dodge Charger GLHS.....always wanted one since I was a wee lad.

That was the original plan but i'm exploring other options too.
I hear rumor that you can't get the classic cloth seats with the sport package.
I hope that's not true.

That's exactly what leasing is for.

I used to think like you. As a matter of fact I used to think worse - I believe that a car was only a machine to get you from point A to point B and who cares what it looks like or what it does... that changed hella quick when I actually LEARNED about cars. This doesn't happen in diapers for girls like it does for guys. We need a little coaching. Anyways, when I first drove my now-husband's Audi S4 and BMW 330ci ZHP, I started to realize a car was more than just a travel tool. It's a luxury. And luxury costs money. The problem is that now I've been pampered and I have a hard time settling for less, which is why I'm trying to stay under $27k for the next one.

Are you originally from Norcal?

No sir. Born and raised in Chicago then moved to the nw burbs when I got married. My brother currently lives in Sacto though.
Why do you ask?
