yeah, I posted here in febuary and things been moving in my life where I was focused on hella things at one point where I had to change my life and start anew.
anyhoo, just reintroducin myself to the site because the tekken zaibatsu boards aren't cutting for me anymore.
i'm finacially much better then I was (used to live in central california, visalia). Finally a a point where I need a new car.
anyhoo, this is a bad ass site and i regret not getting involved but now I have the time to do so.
well I don't have the best knowledge on cars and "anny" probably knows way more than I do. (holla to Anny & banzai & bennet the cucumber sucka)
cars I want but can't have:
lancer evo
honda s2000
toyota corolla gts/sr5
note:
evo 8 is new and wouldn't have to worry bout breaking down if I take good car of it, warranty. 4 door, etc and if I get it. Probably drive stock until I save up for power. Unrealistic for me at this point but definetaly an option. but I'm looking a 600 bucks a month + insurance.
honda s2000 is nice as fuck but 2 doors might not cut it too well for me at this moment but maybe. same problem like the evo.. 600 bucks a month + insurance will kill me. 5 years with this car wouldn't be so bad. If I plan to move, club, etc.. would be hard to do so.
toyota corolla gts/sr5, a project car. Always been into old cars lately, i'm even happy with my current vehicle.. toyota camry 1985. Anyhoo, something I can tinker with but probably not a good idea in where my point of life is headed.
Realistic Cars:
Mazda Rx7 1993-up
Subura Impreza 1999 - 2001
Mazda 6
Acura TSX
Note:
In my price range of 10k-15k if I find the right one. A 2door like the s2000 but hey I can live with payments like this for now. Pretty great resale value seeing how this car is still up there in that price range even though blue book value is around 10k-11k. Maybe something I want, if your an rx7 owner.. could ya give me a summary of your experience with this car? ups and downs and enjoyment and fullfillment of when ya first bought it to now?
Subura impreza, i'm definetaly get the RS. Any tips for buying this vehicle, i've read up a few stuff bout this car. Planning to do some more research before I go out to buy this. it's same price range or so like the rx7, plus it' s a 4 door just in case I go out. Just wondering if it's a good purchase.
Mazda 6 i, didn't look too much into this but something i wanted last year and thought about. not feeling the same way like i used to and I think the type S version is better than the i version.. right? anyhoo, not something I would mod up and probably get a AT transmission. So no fun there.
TSX, same situation with mazda 6. 30k range if i want the whole package with navigation. probably an AT also since I would probably be sharing this car since I commute to work everyday.. I'll probably end up driving my old ass camry than this car.
All in all
Thanx for gruling through my post, you've made it this far.
i know it's my opinion on what i feel but would love to hear your comments on these cars i listed. Any feedback iks good feedback!
Don't be afraid to post what's a good car to get in my situation if ya don't mind posting. What's a good choice, etc. Any comments would help me cuz i'm in the buying process.
i'm actually looking for a car that's either a 2 door for me + that one person or a 4 door to hang out and still make my car fast. Not looking to mod my car with kits or anything.. just straight up power/sleeper without sacraficing too much.. like car seats.. etc. By me saying all this.. i'm actually down to the 2 choices of either the impreza or the Rx7. A comment on Rx7 vs. impreza would help me out also...
thanx for hearing me out and TheJDM is something that will help me out and thanx everyone. this is a great community. i'll stick around for sure!
peace! :idea:
