help me decide on new car

[Intak3]

after i lost to a stock si today i have decided to say **** my se-r... im 17 make quite a bit of money for my age though could easily afford a car from 12,000 to 20,000 would love a ws6 however insurance scares me any tips on what i should get? dont want to go to old probably at least an 02 was thinkin maybe a srt-4 but so many bad stories about reliability and all my friends would hate me.. then wrx.. but everyone has one then.. theres an evo if i could find one for around 20,00 would be sick but whata u guys think i would also love a ****ing rwd monster but again insurance is teh suck... so tell me what u think

At your age, stick to a 4 door if at all possible and a non-V8. The srt4 is NOT an unreliable car, it's the owner that do shit mod installs and get crappy tune jobs done that cause their cars to run way to lean or way to rich and that has death written all over it for the engine. The srt-4 is a great choice for you, 4cyl, 4 door, quick when stock, fast when modded, and reasonable on your wallet. You could also go w/ the s/c'ed version of the Gran Prix, s/c'ed V6, and a exhaust,pully swap and tune will have you whooping your pals soon.

you should be able to find a 03 evo 8 for around 20k easily

I might be a bit biased but I would say srt-4. As far as them being reliable that's going to come down to you as the owner. Too many dumb shits got a hold of them and gave them bad names. If you take care of it you won't have a problem.

[HKSevo]

the only thing about buying a used turbo car is that most **** tards dont know how to shut them off...so u have to watch out about that

[97talon]

Yeah, most people just turn the key...

[EVILZ33]

id say evo or scoob or even a Z can be had for that range

[97talon]

Evo or scoob would be hard to find in that price range and have it be in decent condition. And the Z well, get an srt-4 work on the driver mod and smoke them stock for stock .

[HKSevo]

i would personally say a Z because you dont have to worry bout the turbo being blown, its RWD, great stock hp, looks great, and not a neon

[01mmmz28]

Yeah, but it has 2 doors and that drives insurance crazy.....he's 17 guys, how many 17 yr old can afford a 350Z or WRX, or EVO?? Not many. But a relatively used srt-4 unmodded can still be found and had for 8-9K in my area, that is a steal for a pocket rocket that is easy on the wallet of a kid.

[97talon]

Yeah, bang for the buck you really can't beat an srt-4. NO fwd (and a lot of rwd's) can't touch it for the the price.

Evo's aren't the greatest in terms of reliability no? Subbies are expensive to fix and issurance will screw with pretty much anything you've mentioned except maybe the skittle { think talon said he gets good insurance rates}. 350z........ umm yeah. What about a NA-T Supra? Insurance is bound to be cheapper than a TT and its older so that should help you out. Maybe a Cobalt SS

[Memphis]

Actually thinking about it a lil more if I were in your position I'd buy something thats older, rwd, good aftermarket, and cheap for cash so you aren't stuck with a payment should you get screwed out of your job.

[97talon]

I only get good insurance because of age and being married. When I was 18 and had the talon insured it was just over 3000 a year, for LIABILITY only!!!

[Ford88]

whoah wtf, mine is like 120 a month, full coverage, only me, no parents helping either

you got raped
