What car would you buy for me
« on: April 14, 2002, 07:01:44 PM »
I\'m looking at buying a 540i BMW.  Probably about 2 years old.  Can\'t afford a new one I don\'t think.  What other car would you look at in this class.  I want a fast 4 door sedan.  Remember, I gotta kid.  

Need to probably stay under about 35,000 unless it\'s just damn worth it.

Hmm, I am thinking a M3. I also think you should consider a Porsche GT2...

Or even just the regular Carrera.

oh man, if i had $35,000 i would spend it on the one and only, NISSAN MAXIMA!!!  i am addicted to this car, my dad has one, and i want it.  his is a 2k1 auto, but it hauls a$$.  get a new 2k2 maxima se, with the 6 speed manual and helical limited skip differential.  the car has 255hp, and the guys at http://www.maxima.org will show you time slips of the car doing 14.3 1/4miles STOCK!!!  but it looks like you want a more luxury, performance sedan.  

i would also go with:
2k2 infiniti I35
2k2 acura TL-S
2k3 infiniti G35
99/2k Lexus gs400

just my $0.02 cents.

Actually, I think that is a much better idea..I somehow forgot all about the max. I have personally seen AUTO max\'s running 14.3-14.6 with MINOR mods..intake/ehaust..etc. ^speeds..even faster.

Like you said..luxury..speed..handeling(enuff anyway).. space, and creature comforts. PLus the reliability of one of he best motors of our time.

How about a RX-8?  It\'ll be under 37k, and has a FULL rear seat.  And the access to those rear seats is easy thanks to the suicde doors.

hey vid since yer looking into BMW\'s go for a 330i (2002 model) or if yer feelin sporty the 330ci would do, i believe they are both uner $35000 (brand new),
but another alternative would have to be the 2002 maxima man that car is fast

I say the Lexus IS300 is a good selection and should be checked out. Not only are they luxury cars, they have a hint of bad a$$ to them.

Thanks guys for the tips.  The Maxima is a great car as well.  I use to own one.  We\'ll see what happens.  I really have had a passion for BMWs for a long time so I will search at other options, but I really love the drive.  I also like that IS300.  What is the infiniti like in the sport sedan class?

I love the M3 and if Logan were a little older I would go for a convertible M3.  Maybe in a few years.  For now it\'s just not practical.
