> [@boxxa](#): > > You need to check out AutoTrader and be willing to travel if you want to get picky with a WRX or IS300. fixed… And seriously, the traveling part IMO is worth every penny of it. Motors are built so damn well and easy/cheap to fix. When buying a car with 80k miles, my concern is the suspension and underbody of the car. I’d rather buy a southern car with 80k that has a tranny on the way out with a perfect body and no rusty bolts on the car at all, than a car with 60k here in buffalo driven year round in “perfect” shape with “frozen” bolts everywhere. If you have the means, I’d suggest buying somewhere it doesn’t snow. ---

/\ x2. I haven’t bought a car in this state - ever. I’d say the LGT, or possibly a Forrester, although I don’t think that hits the “sporty” checkbox. TSX is FWD but a great car. ---

if it has to be RWD or AWD my vote would be WRX or the Audi. I just appraised a subaru legacy wagon with 150,000 miles and the car was still worth about $2500 so they hold their value well. Audi makes a great car as well but you don’t want to have to fix them, timing belt and water pumps at 60k is normal and if it has a turbo expect to overhaul it. ---

> [@somedude](#): > > he said no front drive though read much? > [@redrum"](#): > > **prefer but not required:** > rwd or awd Other than the fore mentioned 3-series suggestions; 2000-2001 Infiniti G20-t: SR20DE-RR could use a little more power, but not dead slow, great multi-link front suspension, the “t” models come with LSD. Should be in the $6-7 range, saving some money. ---
