if your going to go with the touareg grab a TDI, the Gas ones are garbage. but your looking at 25-40 and no warranty probably not what your looking for. I would just get something cheap in all honesty, Like a legacy or a 04-05 Passat TDI, or something like that, so leave you room to not worry about the cost of the issues your going to have in the RX7 ---

Do one of those $0 down, $199 a month leases on a Civic. Drive it for a few years for cheap and just before it turns into a pile of shit you are handing over the keys to the dealer. You could do 5 of those $199 a month leases and it would be cheaper then spending $30K on a car. Fuck all cars, they fucking suck. haha very angry and bad math as I would have equity in the 30k car and never in the lease. Although I agree with your point in that my gf has a 2010 impreza and I love driving it around. I am going to go test drive a legacy with leather and see what I think. I am honestly happy with just having a dd that I never have to wrench on and is someone elses issue if/when it breaks. > [@BadnewsMike](#): > > if your going to go with the touareg grab a TDI, the Gas ones are garbage. > but your looking at 25-40 and no warranty probably not what your looking for. > > I would just get something cheap in all honesty, Like a legacy or a 04-05 Passat TDI, or something like that, so leave you room to not worry about the cost of the issues your going to have in the RX7 Thanks for the automotive tip. I will probably not actually buy an suv though. Just not really what I want. Not sure how to word it without being pompus but a 35k option will not affect my lifestyle or the rx7 or fixing it or any other aspect of my life. However I will still consider cheaper options since having more money for other things is never bad! ---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ---------- > [@maxwell](#): > > I’m trying to put myself in your shoes here.

Ya I understand about the finances, I was more leaning towards the just having extra cash is nice. I kinda have the view of looking at newman, for example, cheap as poop daily (rabbit) and he had the E30 and the lotas… 99% you found him in the Rabbit… its nice have a car you dont care about, dont mind Piling mileage on. I love being the guy to say Ill drive we can take my car… it gets 40+MPG and I don’t care about adding miles. I loved back when I had the TDI and the Evo was an awesome combo… so I guess in the “Nice but inexpensive” fun daily’s I personally like… Legacy Gt Passat (only years for the Diesel where 04-05 and they only came in auto FWD) Lexus Is300(I love the way they look, but other lexus maybe worth considering) Audi A4/A6 or all-road Volvo s60R Mazdaspeed6 but knowing you… you’ll be back in a BMW… ---

Is that one for sale dan? Mike I hear ya on having cash around is always really nice. I don’t ever care too much about my daily no matter what it is. not to say I abuse but I am deff not a puss. I will be going to test drive a legacy gt for sure. I found a few that I think look great on paper at around 22k but as I have never driven one so I have to go check one out. ---

If you cant find one to test drive local, I have an 05 5speed, here. (not for sale, but you could take it for a spin) I love driving it. its quick for a stock car… and seats are pretty comfy. ---

Nope… but there are about a half dozen on Ebay right now in the 25-35 range, all in the 15-50K miles range. The one above just has painted wheels, painted over chrome accents, and blacked out lights. All together, about \<1 grand to duplicate. ---
