Need help choosing a car

I'm supposed to tell this dealer tomorrow to bid on a car I want. I've had a civic for about a year and a half now and need some excitement in my ricer life. I'm looking for something in the $10-15k range, late 90s - early 00s. Nothing over 50K miles.

Help me decide what I should get.

As it stands right now, It'll be an 260 HP 2001 Acura CL 3.2 Type S - fully loaded minues navigation system.

And please, no domestics.

I'd take the Acura- sounds like one hellishly nice car.

No, it's the year I was born with a one added.

Yes, the acura is nice. Any luxury car that goes 0-60 in 6 seconds has gotta be nice. So far it's still an acura...but thanx everyone.

The evolutions are about 30K, and maybe 20K if they're used, at the best.

He's trying to sell me the non type S acura for 16 grand. He brought it down from $16800.

I'm trying to get the type S for 16,000, it has about 35 more hp. Let's see how long this game goes on.
