Didn’t you just have a bunch of problems with a pretty high mileage A4? If so, I’d suggest crossing BMW/Audi and their competitors off your list and start looking at cars where you can find something with \<20k miles. Sure, you might be able to find a used Z3 for 20k, but it will have a ton of miles and you’ll never know how much the previous owner beat on it for those miles. ---

Wagons are the shit but I really don’t see that as a viable option. I would consider 20 other wagons before that car. To each his own. ---

oh man - thats so true! we just have good taste dude 🙂 those tires didn’t fair well in the rain, but it was so much more my style car then the mazdaspeed miata. I love the way it looks, I love how it revs til infinity, and it’s super stiff. It’s an all around blast to drive even more then the Miata. I’m not a great driver - they both handle far good enough to give me a lot to learn. I wanna check out an M roadster too, but I highly highly doubt I can afford that. ---

It was on Union St and Clinton by my grandmas in West Seneca. 2003, yellow (no deal), 6spd, 16kmiles, for 26K dollars. I can’t swing that, I’d be looking at about 20K to spend. ---

one very important word of advice : Lose the rear end in the parking lot once You do it once, it is rather unlikely you will do it again. lol ---

that dealership sucks. the guy was a serious douche, i went there with all intentions of buying a car that day and his attitude made me change my mind. the only plus was the one chick that worked there gave me the keys and said come back before dark, he’s helping someone else right now. ---
