Which car is the best choice...
I have been offered the following cars at this price point (close friends owe me) ...but I have a few issues:
One is that I only have 10K (plus 2k for insurance) and would have to take out a loan for anything over that mark. Therefore taking out the smallest loan would be the best for me... The second is that I want to get the most reliable of these vehicles because after I spend that 10 grand I'm out for a while on the repair/keep-up costs. The third is fuel economy... I realize that most of these cars require premium fuel so therefore I want to get a car that won't have me going to the pump every two seconds. The fourth isn't really an issue...more just preference as far as looks are concerned. The PiMpness factor I would say...the higher...the better... So I guess I’m asking what would be the best vehicle out of these to buy covering those three issues. '99 Honda Civic Si- $9k '03 Infiniti G35- $16K '02 Lexus IS300- $13k '02 Acura RSX- $10k 01' or 02' BMW 325i- $13K-14K ****All cars are stock except the Honda which has tons of mods- body kit, exhaust, intake, rims...etc**** Thank you for the help. |

Re: Which car is the best choice...
G35 is the best car on that list...so if you can get it for that...DO SO!

G35 hands down, no contest...Especially with the newer model year...an 03 bmw 325 would have gotten consideration. Civic and Rsx aren't in the same category, and as an old thread was saying, Toyota's are boring

I've always like the Lexus IS300 because of its interior and its sport sedan look... $13k is a pretty good deal. The G35 (assuming it's a coupe) is a much sportier looking car, though.
If I had to guess which car (IS300 vs G35) should be more reliable, I would have to say the IS300. |

IS300 is sooo boring. Sure it looks cool, but it just doesnt compare to the G35 or a 3-Series BMW.
G35 is the fastest car out of the 3 sport sedans you listed, its got about 60 hp on the 325 and the IS300. Handles pretty well, better then the IS, but still not up to the BMW. Interior is decent, but I like the 3's and the IS's more. Ah BMW. How can I ever vote against a 3-Series... Simply wonderful cars. Handles like a dream, best transmission on the market, most engaging drive I've ever had. You can not go wrong with this car, it is amazing. But alas, I believe your prices that your listing are a tad too low, good luck finding a G35 under $20,000, let alone for $16,000. If you can get one, go for the Bimmer |
