When I was in Moab I had a wrangler rubicon for a rental. I liked driving it there, I would HATE driving it every day.

My suggestion is to buy a 7-10k car with cash that you can live with for a year or two and sell the Rover outright. I’m thinking Accord, Legacy ect… Bank some cash and re-visit fun in a year or two. You won’t mind it until spring hits, at which point you can play with the E30 or just stare at cash.

I’ll probably sell the STi when it comes out of storage in the spring. If that’s what you’re looking for shoot me a PM.

I’ve been driving new(ish) cars for the past 12 years. I don’t think I can stomach driving something that’s going to fall into that price range. The extra 10 grand isn’t going to hurt me much, worth it for peace of mind.

@**[XwalkerX](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=58)** can you really get a 335d for $25k?

What about a CTS-V? They’re semi-interesting, comfortable and quick. Probably not hitting any homer runs on cargo space though.

Used 5-series are cool too. If you can find a v8 5-series with a manual, I think that would be pretty sweet.

Awesome, definitely an attractive option in my opinion. Although, with the price of diesel being so high these days, I’m not sure there’s much benefit. I wouldn’t rule out a faster gasoline option.

You could find an e55 wagon in that price range. I had zero issues with mine from a maint. Standpoint.

serious answer: a really nice porsche 996, you can even get a C4 if you want AWD. people paid 70+ for these and now it can be your winter beater.

Walker hit the nail on the head here. Somewhat fun to drive, decent gas milage, good space in a e90, nice interiors and price range is on point. I literally am going through this faze now, as I sold my e90, except my budget is half of yours you God damn baller lol. Good luck buddy.

How set on AWD are you? My 330i (RWD) with snows handles the winter no problem. I drive to EA and back to Buffalo daily, EA is always getting hammered with snow. Not once have I been concerned.

Since you asked for weird things and you love the aztec which also comes in orange… Can get one loaded for 25k, and you know how subaru’s hold their value. Tons of room but not huge, AWD, basically a mix between a forester and an impreza. Forester utility without needing to be a lesbian.
