yeah i know... i've benn looking but they are 15k+ around here and you're lucky if you find one for 15...

i'm still looking though... waiting to find one at a ridiculously cheap price as I don't care if it has dings and small dents... otherwise i want an is wagon to do a 5spd swap


oh and i added an s2000 to the list, they can be had for pretty cheap...

Re: turning 30 soon
 

I like IS300s but they are pretty slow, stock. The neighbor kid had a absolutely MINT white MT IS300 with like 22k miles, it was like new in every sense of the word, i shoulda bought it. I like my TL better but i still really liked that car. It wasnt navi, or fast, but it still was pretty sweet. If i were you Murdoc, id get a 5 series bmw, because then, you wont be like every other douche driving a 3 series that thinks they are sweet, or the S2000. Only problem with my 04 TL is that its front wheel drive. Thats the only thing i dont like about it, thats why i said 5 series bmw... Forget the benzes and caddy unless you can find a CTS-V or E55 amg, anything else really isnt that fun from either company, and those are big bucks usually. I like TSXs but they are too slow and still fwd, and anyone i know thats ever had an Audi had serious problems with it, which is too bad because Audis drive nice, esp A4/A6 and S4 etc...

---- stock, is300 + 60-1 is a fun streetcar.

Re: turning 30 soon
 

yeah I know the IS's are slow as balls... as well as the s2000... I just want one cause I can do mild body mods and probably boost them to have a decent DD... these would be like half-luxury toys for me to have fun in. You should have def picked up that 22k IS, those things last forever... my buddy has one with 150-200K on it... somewhere between. and he beats the ---- out of it.

I feel you on the E55 though, however I'm sure a 12 second Benz isn't too important to Jeff... Actually for my next Benz I want either the G500 or G55... wanted to upgrade to the newer SL600, but I'm sick of mine and the fact that it's only a 2 seater. I want a truck and a 3+ seater, so G-wagon it is. 8) In regard to the CTS, I would only get a CTS-V :y

I like the 5-series, but for the price of a used 5 you could get a 7, so I'd just get a 7 :-\ I concur on the whole douchebagness of the 3-series, but it's still a nice car for the $$$ and it's definitely not on the top of my list.

Despite the TL being FWD, I still love that ------' car... it's G as ----. Unfortunately the Audi's do tend to have problems, but my stubborn ass would still get one. The maintaince scare everyone speaks of never stopped me from getting a V12 benz, hahaha.

TSX's are chick magnetty too, if you don't want to spring for the TL. They don't know the difference.

Re: turning 30 soon
 

s2k is still what I'm aiming to buy this summer although JD is telling me to get a is300...but like you said, they aren't that cheap.

I've seen them in good condition in the area for 8-10k, but I think I'd prefer a 04/05 model.

I hear the "they're girly" and "not practical" ----, but I'm 24 with hopefully no chilluns for a while, and want to enjoy doing what the hell I want while I can. It's also a benefit to only have 2 seats so you are never the driver. Top down at 8000-9000rpm sounds nice as well.

Re: turning 30 soon
 

You find lightly wrecked in the front end is300 all day for under $1500, clean titles if you put your ear to the ground. The parts cost you $400-600, you have $1200 in quality paint, round up for little unforseen extras and call it $4K.

Re: turning 30 soon
 

Where would you put your ear to find such a deal.

I can't see anyone selling that cheap when people would easily pay more.
