Your advice please !

I want to buy a car, I'm hesitating between BMW 325i '92, Audi A4 2.8 Quattro '96 (little more expensive than the others), Nissan 300zx 2+2 '90 and Acura Legend LS '92.

In therms of reliability and quality, what should I buy and why ?

300ZX
Much faster, sportier, more sex appeal. Reliable, too. If its not a turbo, then the Audi.

If you're looking at those cars then you might want to look at a WRX too. Its definitly cheaper than anything you listed and although the 300zx is faster the WRX can haul ass. Especially if you beef up the turbo. Has a nice distinctive look to it too.

New, a WRX is cheaper. But they arent available used yet, so it could be expensive.

The're not? There available here in the States, so I would have guessed they would be up north with our neighbors too.

Hmm... I will have to keep a look out for a used one. Either way, they wouldnt be a heck of a lot cheaper. How much do the used ones fetch anyway??

They are available used here, what he means is that they're still basically new... like all they have is 2001s with like 8k on them... so they aren't that much cheaper than brand new

Yah, but since there are very few options, it might be better to buy used.
On the other hand, they could have been boughten by ham-fisted enthusiasts who couldnt keep up with the payments. So they have been abused, then repossesed. Also, they could be lemons, repurchased by the factory and reconditioned, but still bad.

So I would buy new, I think, at least for a few years.

Of all the cars up there I'd go with a 300ZX but spring the extra cash for the Twin Turbo, you'll be so much happier you did. One other thing, you must really need to seat 4 cuz the 2+2 is nice but nowhere as sweet as the normal 300Zx

don't get N/A the TT has so much more potential

that's like buying an N/A supra, there's no point cause if you want to put the TT on later then it'll end up costing you twice as much than buyin the stock TT

The 300Z 2+2 isn't turbo.....The 2+2 just basically means it has two front seats plus two back seats...So that's deffinetly a N/A car...
