Due to the unforeseen event last Saturday I am in the position of having to purchase a new vehicle.

My choices are as follows:

04-05 STI
03-05 EVO
00-02 Audi S4

Possibly a VR4 too. Leaning more towards the above 3 though.

You know my opinion STI, then VR-4, Evo, Audi if only option.

None of the above. EVO is ugly as fuck. STi is too trendy. VR-4... well yea... Audi but it's pricey.

I'd probably go with the Evo

My friend was telling me yesterday "never buy an audi" repair often and expensive prices bla bla bla. I told him yeah I know I had an 88 Audi 90.

I'd go VR-4, then EVO

VR4.

*i missed vr4 for some reason, that would be first on my list too.

I'd stay away from Audis as well. The ones we get i nthe shop usually have big repair bills, and they are a pain to work on a lot of the time.

20-25k range?

Probably dont need to spend that much on a VR4.

How about an 05/06 GTO, E46 M3, C5 Z06

Yay! I'm not the only who thinks that!!! My opinion the Audi S4.

Yeah whichever one I choose it will be the cheapest one I can find. Audi would be the cheapest out of all and I don't want a vette or GTO right now. M3 wouldn't be too bad although if you look at the 4 cars I listed they all have a couple things in common.

M3 /discussion

I know AWD/Turbo fan here too. I guess I was really throwing my personal "next car" choices out there.

If I had to choose one of those 3 though, personally I'd go for the S4. I know Audi has a lot of electrical problems and what not, just always had a thing for S4's (ultimate sleeper). STi would be second choice. EVO, a distant third.

Wont really find a low mileage E46 for 20-25, have to spend a bit closer to 30K. At least in this area that is what I have noticed.

I would say go with the Evo. For 11 grand you can pick up Chris Woods (Multiades) VR4 which has TD05's and a boat load of other stuff.

My uncle just bought a low mileage 2003 M3 convertible for $30K or 30-something.

I drove the thing, pure sex on wheels.

You and I think alike.

I like the M3 a lot but I just don't want one right now. I have always loved German cars especially Audis. Yes, the S4 is the ultimate sleeper. I might just go for an STi but a VR4 would be nice...or an S4...

M3 is nice but it's pricey. The VR-4 is the cheap one out of the bunch but you have a HUGE range of cars given that price range. I'd be test driving a lot.

Yeah but these so far are the only cars I am serious about buying. I could be forgetting some. If anyone feels the need to give suggestions please do...with exception to vette, GTO, and M3...as they have already been suggested.

BMW 335 TT or older AMG.

i could be mistaken but I thought the new 335's are a bit pricey and definetly cant be had for 25k. And they are fairly new so used is kinda out of the question except for maybe 1 yr old or so.

Ok...I am wanting to spend at most 21k so anything above can be axed.
