I would get the A4 or maybe a used S4. I would even consider a turbo Volvo..

1 = small and no better performing than a jetta, bug, or passat for lots more cash

2 = nice car!

3 = ha. this is the last year for the current integra. never buy the last model year.

4 = subaru - have been reading that the new one will finally be closer to the rally car - weird but different and probably fun to drive - but SMALL

5 = small, expensive, no manual

depends on how much are you spending:
$40k --- S4
$35k --- 325ix
$30k --- A4 1.8T
S25k --- Maxima or TypeR
below that, maybe a VW Bug turbonium??

I was advised to buy a used BMW during the winter months...the wholesale prices will be lower than if you purchase in the spring or summer because of less demand.

Yeah... depends on funds available. ITR if you plan to hit the track or auto-x.... if you buy an ITR and don't go racing, I will kick your *ss.

I don't think a used BMW is a good idea, those things aren't too reliable
$25k, go with the TypeR or a Maxima.

maybe theres a dealership that has a loaner 99maxSE. you could try that if you desire to replace that torn up one in your pics. peel off the aluminum dash and reuse em.

heard from a local dealer here that the S4 is going to be dropped in price...perhaps around the high 30k or low 40k...(I know they were going for about 45k without paper work - tax, title,...etc when they first came out) anyways, wonder if the salesman here is smoking something? an S4 for high 30k?

the new WRX is only going to be about 210bhp..and not 280bhp (stock)!...weird styling...but if you go to http://www.subaru.jp and look at the "prototype rally car pics...looks pretty ok!"

oh well, just my $0.02?!

later

Ahh...daddy paying ehh?...Hmm...tought decision...I say get yourself a real car...5th gen Maxima!...I'm pretty sure you will be able to find a demo 5th gen and pay normal price for it and then get cloth instead of leather...

Good Luck...

the S4 has a msrp of $37k, there is no problem buying them at msrp here in NY now days. $45k is for suckers.

Those sacrificial cars (demos) are fun to drive. Not everday that you are in another person's car, and that person gives you permission to tear up the roads in it. Just be sure you dont use all of the 25K allotted to you by your pops on a demo.

Or a 2k1 SE and put the stillen kit on it, to make it look better than the ugly SE-A.

Well for $25K you could get a 97/98 and have a ton left over for Mods, that is if you are sold on a 4th gen. If not, get yourself a nice clean 94 and save the rest for a rainy day!
