Robert · 10-07-2009, 12:21 AM

ichiban · 10-07-2009, 12:26 AM

nothings going on with her. Just considering something more affordable so I can use my money on other things.

that FT-86 does look pretty sweet, but i seriously doubt itll be under $25k.

HPFREAK · 10-07-2009, 12:51 AM

Do pintos or AMC Pacers count?

oasis3582 · 10-07-2009, 06:04 AM

Used MS3 or WRX. Maybe Civic Si.

KingOfJericho · 10-07-2009, 06:30 AM

GTI

tbird · 10-07-2009, 06:33 AM

CPO BMW with the extended warranty. Depreciated, cheaper on insurance, but still have the power of the BMW warranty and still drive BMW.

A super clean low mileage 3 series.

BMW86 · 10-07-2009, 08:50 AM

350z or Z4. If you need speed I would consider the crossfire srt6... it's great bang for your buck performance!

peppebmw · 10-07-2009, 09:07 AM

Hmm since the options are slim I'd probably buy a used X3. There are a bunch of them under 45K for under $20K.

Used GTI...unless you could get a new one for that--not sure how hard up the VW dealers are....

Xyloft · 10-07-2009, 09:59 AM

thanks for ideas. I'm in no hurry so it gives me deals to watch for.

I don't know why a z4 didnt cross my mind, but i was looking at 350z's today. i'll have to look at Z4's too.

I looked through the low mileage 3's locally and htey are all a tad to much. although i'm going to keep watching them.

That's the hardest part of what i'm considering - at teh end of the day, this car is the best feeling car i've ever driven. I love it.

i also have a complete set of snow shoes for the 1, KW-11's with winter runflats. if i could keep those and keep using them it would be clutch. i wonder if they'll fit on the Z4

Absorber · 10-07-2009, 10:48 AM

I'd probably look at GTIs, A4s, STis, and various 3 series cars as other have said. I'd also probably look at a Mini Cooper S.

Monterra · 10-07-2009, 11:09 AM

Look for a leftover 09 WRX (they must be out there) and stretch a few grand over 20. Or look for 06/07 with low miles. Avoid 08- the mulligan year.
