Without going overboard on options, $35k seems doable out the door… yeah twin turbo inline 6cl 6spd i wouldnt get to much from the factory seeing how i would probably get a better sound system myself then just do basic mods like springs, c.a.i, and wheels so i could have a baller whip for under 40k ---

I would absolutely. Just cuz you got 35K doesn’t mean you need to spend all 35K on a car. If there was nothing I liked than I’d buy something to get me around town without getting laughed at, put the rest in the bank and get a car when I finally found one worthy. In the meantime, the money will be generating interest and I’d have more time to save and would actually have more money to work with. ---
