under 18,000

I stopped at my dads house today and me and him were discussing this matter. If someone was to buy a newer car(say a 2003+) for 18,000 or less what should it be. We were comparing price, horsepower, handling, accessories given to accessories actually needed, etc. I was just curious what you all would think. Now the ones we were discussing were all imports(concidering he has a 350z and a '05 mazda 6 hatch) but of course all are welcome.

Wrx

Mazda 3, new Civic Si, Spec-V Sentra, used Evo and WRX. Just to name a few.

lol i just got done looking at mazda 3 and spec v. (not getting one but just for fun).

u can find a 04 spec v for about 13k, if u buy it make sure you get a header asap…

why do you say that?

04 blue SRT 16000 13,600 miles. few goodies. fun fast reliable. until your putting down 400 whp.

because the cat in the factory one gets too hot, cracks up and sucks into the motor… i think theres a recall available that fixes it.

this was about my price range last year, i picked the wrx. no complaints so far. pretty quick, upgradable, reliable, no problems in the snow. good car for pittsburgh weather. IMO

how come nobody has said GTP yet?

you’re scuurrrrred of my GTP.

lets race.

i sold my srt 6600 miles for 16,500

Just to comfirm, Im not getting a new car. I can’t own a new car, Ill wreck it or ruin something… lol… just was a general question

that would be it. the really only prob the qr25de motor has…however once u feed this motor boost it absolutely loves it…

8.5psi = 290hp 300trq w/ no question about it…

soon ill have boost :slight_smile:
