Gettin a new car , what would you do

[chris26969]

see , i have made a list of cars that i want , tell me what you think

2000 Mustang v6
2000 toyota Celica
1998 Audi A4 2.8
1997 bmw 318is
1997 honda prelude
1999 civic si

Yet of that list , i cant find any that someone doesnt bitch and complain about how much they suck for some aparent reason mainly being speed. Besides im really into N/A cars the whole less maintenance thing is always good.

[TheRebirth]

i'd go for the prelude....but i'm biased

besides that, is the Celica a GTS?

[chris26969]

yes GTS .

[TheNotoriousMogg]

I like SI...Ludes are cool though also

1.hell no. maybe if u like replacing trannys after a year.
2.purty quick car, i think it is fugly.reliable
3.i considered these as well. they have a low resale value for a reason. they constantly break down and maintence $$ is a bitch. check any audi board and they will tell u these cars are hell.
4. purty zippy car and purty reliable. it is a good and proven engine. maintence is $$$. maybe a 325 or 328?
5.good solid car.bad gas milage for a jap car.
6.slowest of the bunch i think.good car though

im a little biased, but what about an integra?like a gsr? can keep up with all those cars and no reliablility issues. (well, maybe a little behind the audi). good luck.

[chris26969]

gsr are a little over played in my town . thats the main reason i dont want one. Also , whats this about the mustang having to replace trannys? im going for a Manual if i get one .

I don't know about the tranny but I heard the V6 stangs blow head gaskets quite a bit. Probably because they are bimetal - aluminum head on cast iron block. And they suck. Forget the stang if you are going for a V6. If you want to step up to a V8 than I'd say go for it.
If you are not concerned much about gas mileage I'd say get the lude. It's the best thing I can see on the list there. Whats your spending limit? I'm guessing somewhere around 10-12K with that stuff you got there on the list.

[chris26969]

yep 10k or a bit more . Why whats so bad about the mustang . I mean if thats what my friends dad can hook me up with for a good deal . im going to get it.

also V8 = INSANE insurance.

[PWMAN]

Well if you get a GT mustang the insurance will be bad. But if you can find a V8 without the GT package it will be a lot less. The only problem is people had to specifically order a V8 non-GT stang so there are not many aroung but I've seen them. I would just go with the prelude if I were you. It's a really nice car, probably faster than the mustang too. And you can't beat Hondas reliability.

[chris26969]

yep ( owning a honda right now ) they are pretty reliable , i mean i do also like the prelude . The whole list is what i gave my friends dad and hes going to pick up one of those cars for me , for a really good price. So whatever i get out of those id be happy.


Im talkin like a 2001 mustang v6 20k miles on it , for like 8 grand . Thats the type of deal im lookin at

[PWMAN]

That is a good deal but I still think they suck, and they sound like crap!

[chris26969]

and your 87 daytona sounds like.....

[sameintheend01]

at least he doesn't want a mustang! don't dis other peoples cars especially when your PARENTS are paying for yours

My daytona sounds nothing like a chain saw or bumblebee fart like a Honda. It has a deeper throaty sound. Remember, it's turbocharged which gives it a very unique sound. The V6 stangs however sound like a chainsaw.
