I probably won't be able to buy for 2 more years or so, but I was wondering what the community thought

Should I buy a used...
Mitsubishi 3000GT (VR-4 or GTO if I can find one)
Toyota Supra TT
Nissan 300ZX TT
Maxda RX-7 FD
Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo AWD (Basically a 3kGT)
Acura/Honda NSX
Lexus SC300 (has a 2JZ)
Lexus SC400
BMW M3
or whatever else

or a new...
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
Subaru Impreza WRX STi
Nissan 350Z
Mazda RX-8
Mazda MX-5
Honda S2000
Pontiac Soltice GXP
or something else

I'm leaning towards the supra for the TT's and the targa top and I like the style...
and the S2K and the STi are probably too expensive. In fact, all of these are but whatever

umm I don't know. I mean, its kind of my parents money anyway, its all just a matter of how much I can get them to spend, plus some money I've saved in my bank account haha. I might be able to swing $27K or $28K...

actually NAD auto has one for sale
and its in GA
but it can't be titled in the U.S
so it would be great for a conversion.

I've seen Mitsu GTO's around before. sorry about that I meant that *Mitsu GTO's* are everywhere. the pontiac thing was just a tangent

Thanks for the opinions everyone but I definitely started this thread too early...

do not get the Stealth or 3000GT those cars are good when then running but the parts are FUCKING expensiveand are really hard to find plus they don't last that long either espically if you beat on them, I wouldn't recomend getting one I had one and everything was expensive as hell if you could find it.

damn, how many imported ones are there rolling around GA? or do they just have the center piece from Jap?

glad you realized this was WAY too early, two years is a long time, you'll probably like minitrucks or something in two years.

minitrucks? ahhah never. Maybe a few have the GTO piece, but that post was in total sarcasm. Sorry for throwing you off lol

A lot changes in 2 years. Obviously you are not focused on one car so don't worry about it yet unless you need to focus on it in order to set goals. if that's the case then pick an amount you want to save up in 6 months. Then an amount you want to save for the 6 months after that. Etc etc. If a car helps motivate you to do that then keep considering it
