Help me with my car dilemma
I need to get a car and a lot of people give some pretty good advice on stuff. I need the car by next week. I have about 22K in the bank. I don't want to spend all that money so I will finance the car but I can put down a sizable deposit. With the short amount of time I have I was thinking about buying a car for like 5-6K that I can turn around and sell when I have the time to buy the car I want. The car I want is the Nissan 350Z but I can't bring myself to buy one without taking my time and getting the right car. So what would you guys do? If I were to get a cheap car my only requirements are rear wheel drive and a manual transmission, other than that I am open to suggestions.

I'm intrigued by the older BMW option maybe more like '94-'96 3 series, anyone have first hand knowledge of these cars?

Re: Help me with my car dilemma
I have a friend who had a '95 BMW 325is, and it was an excellent car. I do have stick time in it, so I can personally recommend it. Now, I said "had" because he wrecked it off a cliff. They handle very well, but not 70 through a corner marked 25 well. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I like the BMW I just don't want the yuppie a-hole image. I guess I can learn to embrace it. No one else wants to put in their 2 cents.

And my guy friends do drive it pretty hard at times...only things ive had to replace/fix is the brakes - which was standard at the miles it was at....i also have a land rover that is the same...never broken down ever (although the parts in this are massively expensive...espeically the brakes) |

Not to mention they are a pain in the ass to work on. |
