There are a few cars I’m looking at. I havent found any cts-v’s in my price range locally yet. Other cars I’m considering: -2005 Saab 9-3 Vector Turbo -Lexus ES330 -2003 BMW 325Xi all wheel drive ---

I’ve driven one, they’re really nice smooth rides and with a manual they’re quick. Lots of torque steer, but that’s common with the Nissans. I’d def. buy an SE-R though when they come down to my price range. ---

I have heard horror stories about the 9-3 saabs. I also heard of a lot of problems with the American built altima’s. If you get one built overseas, it’s a fucking tank. But if you get the ones built here in the US, it’s a nightmare. :dunno: that’s all what I heard though. ---
