Another "what car to buy" Thread......

[Vteckidd]

I know I am a little late to this thread, but I just traded my 2007 Corvette in today with 31,146 miles and it was a base with Z51 for $27,000. So if you can buy a Corvette for $25,000 (with average mileage) that would be a good deal!!

i meant to put $30,000

most of them are around $28000-30000 ive seen a FEW for $25999 but they had rediculous miles

[OneSlow5pt0]

could hold off till spring and have a brand new Camaro SS for 30k 6sp 420HP 400TQ

idk bout the G8s,i like em,but i feel like i wasted money when the GXP model comes out...CTS-V and GTO are nice cars.

and im pretty sure a Stock C5 Z is faster than a stock C6.

the C6s have bigger engines then the C5s

[Ran]

Buy my 08 Mustang GT for $28K.

[Atlblkz06]

c5 z06? not sure how much they go for but id assume they are under 30k

I think you can find clean late models in the mid 20s with LOW miles (30k). Lotta car for buck, but its a little hard to find em.

Damn, my car isnt going to be worth jack, I already have 10k on it and its an 08 lol

[Julio]

You can find a C5 or C6 for around that price.. but with crazy high miles.. thats for sure .... and the most common ones (color and packages ) also factors in... More rare colors and package combo may be a little more..

Plus I would be real careful buying a Vette with More then 40 or 50 k miles anyways.. Probably been rapped...

I paid $32k (including warranty) for my C5, with 20K miles with all the bells and whitles.. over a year ago..

Wrong. Depends on driver.

[csmiths]

cts v bc ive ridin in josh's (4doorzo6) and its such a cool car. i mean a caddy that sounds like a corvette. but it is true about the rear ends

[Dr.G35]

????

[stephanie]

infiniti

[§treet_§peed]

Caddy for the win. dude you'll be pimpin...



























































in grannies car

[LS2ner]

g8 all the way.

[scabtastic]

im surprised martin hasnt chimmed in with his car.

[OG-Skinny]

why not a M5? You can get a decent 2000-2003 for around 20K. For a well taken car of car.

[OG-Skinny]

since it won't let me edit.. the E39 M5 only came in a 6 speed.. Damn IA.

[Evil Goat]

out of those my vote would go to a g8. i hear, though i love them, that the ctsv's have tranny problems or rear end problems, something to that effect, cant really remember exactly.....

the g8 is an all around car, looks, ls motor that just begs to be modified, plenty of room, leather, the whole 9....the only thing that gets me about the g8's is theres no option for manual trans as of right now, best you can get is a 6spd auto that may have sport shift of some kind

gto's are great, i love mine, if i had to do it over though id look for a 05/06 with the ls2...but yet again, cant go wrong, the lsx's love mods and make gobs of power

in the end though if i had it to do over at this moment thered be a g8 gt in my driveway

[Arm&hammer]

id say get the gto because its the cheapest and pretty fast.
and from what ive heard they are pretty durable.
or if you could find a c6 for under 30k id get that

[Kaiser]

Given the choices you put up there, I'd go with the Lexus GS430. Not the choice I'd make if I weren't so limited though. Dunno why you're not a big fan of German's, but even leaving them out there's stuff you've left off the list that has possibilities.

Just as an example, Q45, which is admittedly old and bland looking. M45, which is hot and just as pimpable as the GS, and right in your price range with pretty low miles. Has a VK45DE, pretty good reliability, really good quality and is really pretty fun to drive. You really can get one with all the gadgets for around $30k used too. There's other stuff, but *shrug*

[Vteckidd]

im gonna go look at a few cars this week as i just sold all the cars i own so im wheel less LOL

[Catnip]

What ? Is actually really Confy..





CTS-V is the shit..

Just something about my dad's corvette. I guess it's not so much uncomfortable, as not so sporty. Feels luxurious. I find the interior of sports cars more comfortable than luxury/economy cars (one reason I don't like my honda). If that makes sense.

[MachNU]

MIke have you ever thought to look into the SRT-8 Chargers? You can get them low miles, good condition, there 4-door, 425hp, 6.1L Hemi Motors and there very very NICE interiors! I have driven plenty of them around and would own one in a heart beat!

I know it might sound stupid, but how does a 5 Speed Shiftable Automatic work? lol sounds like an oxymoron to me.

[MachNU]

Becuase like every other automatic car they have the shiftable manual mode, that really is gay. but he said he didnt care about speed and those are still fun cars with decent gas mileage!

but regular automatics, you don't have to shift gears. you can just put them in drive... i see this one says that you have to shift gears. so is it basically a manual with no clutch?

[uproot]

pontiac G8 all day long

[rizzler]

don't know if u thought about this but a fairly new m45?

[MachNU]

no alot fo transmission also have a shiftable gear...like a crap version of manual with no clutch. some its padel shifters overs its just either pressing teh shifter up or down or left to right! and in the case of the srt-8 its left to right!

[Tech5]

cts-v gets my vote!

[Kevykev]

He'll just end up buying a '98 camry like all the other "what car to buy" folks.

[Elbow]

Audi S4

Or out of your list CTS-V.

[HatchMan]

This is a no brainer if I had to make the choice: Audi S4

[Vteckidd]

LOL you wont believe what i ended up getting, its a rotary.....................

[Alan®]

LOL you wont believe what i ended up getting, its a rotary.....................

if you bought a rx8......

[SL33P3R]

LOL you wont believe what i ended up getting, its a rotary.....................

What about your uncles RX7?

[Vteckidd]

^^^ nah i would really want to buy it, but i cant have that as my only car. I couldnt drive it everyday its too mint. Im hoping i can buy it this summer

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

1) I REALLY want a CTS-V but i have heard too many people say they fall apart after 50,000 miles, ive heard people say the rear ends break all the time, interior falls apart, etc. Anyone know anyone with one, or own one?

2) Pontiac G8. SOmething just looks sick about them with some wheels. i know NOTHING about them, im gonna have to do some research.

3) GTO. I like the GTOs, they are definetly extremely affordable, but i just cant get past that in some form it looks like an old mans car. nothing really flashy about it in my mind.

GTO's are heavy, but fairly quick.. My bro's is for sale if you want it...

I love the CTS-V, but it's still a GM... Some are good, some are bad.. It just depends on how you treat it and drive it.

The Vette is overrated and played out much worse than the lexus..

I am in LOVE with the G8 and if you get one I will be PISSED!!

[Vteckidd]

im gonna go look at some G8s this week and see what happens, i picked up an RX8 already but im only going to drive it for a few months then trade it in to save on the taxes.

My dad had the RX8 and i got it for about $5000 under trade in ! Instant equity FTW

Great way to go. If you decide to G8. PM me. The dealership I used to work for was Lexus/Subaru/Volvo/GM. I still have contacts.
