had the car for nearly 3 years now and i think im done with it. most likely bc the flat today in the morning topped it off...looking for some what luxury this time, sick of riding low and worrying where pot holes are and what not.

my price range is around $20k

what i thought of is:

e36 M3
Audi S4
330 ci

if i think of anymore ill update but please give me some advice guys. thanks

 

m3 ftw

 

was thinkin about m3, but the design of the car is geting really outdated now, pretty boxy if u ask me... BUT the car is still pretty quick for its age. come on people give me some advice

 

You said you want luxury, but is that all you're looking for? Get a Lexus or something..

 

just get a newer 330ci

it will be faster than that piggy 5g anyways

the e36 m3 is still an awesome *** car

 

I'd get the S4. You can get a newer S4 for the same price as an older M3. They're no slouch when it comes to handling or acceleration either.

was thinkin bout the IS for alittle bit, but its too damn slow and the new IS jus looks way too much better.

was researching for alittle bit on the s4. they say that the 2001, 2002 models r way better than the older versions bc they updated it to make the turbos last longer.

but s4 seems like the best bang for the buck IMO. but i heard if ur turbos blow u will need at least 6k

 

Yes, the newer ones had less glitches. As far as the turbos go, it's really up to the owner to take good care of them. Turbo timer and regular oil changes do wonders. I know of fellas with chipped S4s that are running higher boost on stock turbos without problems.

 

no love for the japanese cars?

IS is fun though. How about the new-ish Acura TL's? Tons of power and sooooooo smooth.

If a a high price, luxury, factory turbo doesnt come with one I'd say look alsewhere...I gave up on factory turbo's after my old IROC RT (yeah, I know, it was a Dodge though) so now I'm a little salty towards them. Annual cylinder heads and turbo's should NOT be part of regular maintenance.

 

any more advice guys

Good choice I like the cl type S myself my brother has one. Or just get rid of that 5th gen sh and get 4th gen with leather

 

any more advice will be appreciated

 

pontiac gto! lol i want one... but i dont want to get rid of my prelude to get it. i guess ill have to wait. some random guy the other day came up to me and offered me 15k in cash for my car... its a 4th gen vtec with bolt ons... i told him no... figured it had to be counterfeit or drug money... lol. then i made sure he didnt follow me home so he couldnt steal it.

 

~$20k range

 

how dare you sell your prelude . Can I have?

 

Just think with that 20k for yours you have stored up to buy a car. You could make a beast of a prelude. Atleast thats what I would do. but If your going to sell it I would go with the m3

 

M3

 

buy a honda fit

 

why not take that money and get a build a nasty 4th gen that beats all those cars on your list lol
