I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

looking for some opinions on buying a new ride

Post by IN2deep » June 20, 2007

Here is the thing i got a 96 hatch i use for my work csr i drive it to clients etc, I am a Consultant. It is lightly modded and it is staying, I also have a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 04 Model I am selling. I was planning on getting a Range Rover Sport or like an 04 or 05 Range Rover or like a 05 or 06 Competition M3, but i just dont really want to dump that much change on a car right now. I got some plans that the money would be better suited for careeer/business wise I havent totally decided against the M3 but i am looking at some other options.

1-0 I have wanted an ITR for awhile, I found a nice black one with 50k miles for a fair price, but its is still a 7 year old car, I would only drive it on the weekends when it was nice but I was curious if i wanted to sell would it be a pain to get rid of b.c I would not want to give it away being low miles and all.
2- I was looking at a new s2000 or a lighlty used s2000
3- that new 350Z nismo looks pretty nice also.

But rioght now the ITR is standing out more to me b/c i could sell my jeep and buy it with what i got for my jeep, or throw some other cars at me, What do you guys think?

the first gen s2k's can be had for 13k+, but the utility stinks. i guess it all depends on what youre using it for. if youre just driving it on the weekend, i say screw the ITR and get that.

I would say get the type R, but you already have one FWD car. I say get the S2k or M3 because it's nice to be able to switch to RWD whenever you want. :)

Plus, the S2k would make a much more satisfying weekend car because you can throw the top back.

I found a sweet ITR with low miles and it would be just for a collector type car, and i was going to buy a TSX or something similiar for a daily to haul clients around in etc, i will probaly keep the hatch b/c i got it paid of rbasically by my work for use while on the job.

So my question is do you guys think the value of an all stock ITR will hold up, i dont see it going down, I have always wanted one esp a RHD drive one but i think i am going to just go with the USDM one,

I just wanted some other opinions from fellow JDM enthusiansts, I was looking at 350Z's etc and just could not find anything i really liked alot. So I felt it would work better for me to get a 4 door to drive to and during work and another car for a toy etc, I got about 60 k to spend but dont want to blow it all on a M3 really. When i found this ITR i cant get it off my mind.

More opinions please
