I need a new car Options

[Oasis]

My fucking fuel pump just went out on my truck which pissed another $300+ down the drain. Not to mention I'm spending nearly $25 a day in gas, which is seriously cutting in to my beer fund.

I need a new automobile.

My truck has a KBB value of around $13k, minus probably $1k to fix the various dents from drunk assholes hitting my truck in lubbock. I can probably come up with $15k cash, putting me around $27k. If I took out a loan for the rest, I'd like to keep it under $8k because I don't need any more monthly payments to worry about.

So yeah, I'm looking at a car between $27k-$35k. Recommend some shit, cause I haven't picked up a Car & Driver in years. Three prerequisites

1. Needs to look somewhat sporty or cool
2. Needs to get at least 20 city/25 highway
3. No fucking hybrids
4. No fucking trucks. I rarely agree with Dogmeat about anything, but he's right that trucks are useless unless you need them in the field. I'll be buying a Mule to keep in Giddings for field use.

Make that four prerequisites

Two cars I've been looking at are the Saturn Sky and a used BMW 330i.


I think these look pretty fucking cool. I can get one with 250 hp and an aftermarket turbo for around $30k I think. I'd only get one if they're made with a hard top or there's a decent looking aftermarket hardtop. I hate convertibles.


My friend just bought a used (30k miles) 2006 BMW 330i for around $29k. 2006 is pretty recent, still had a 100k mile warranty from BMW, and come on....it's a fucking bimmer. A year ago if I said I'd own a BMW in the next 12 months you'd ask me what I was smoking and laugh at me. Now I can probably pull it off

My other options in that range would be a 1998 Supra 15th anniversary twin turbo (dream car), or an early 70's muscle car. Neither are that practical when it comes to repairs or getting assraped on insurance

Recommend something else if you know something in that price range.

And no fucking Saabs, Lance

Maybe I don't see the need to spend 1/4th the cost of a decent house on a car, maybe I'm economical, maybe Jews are so rich because they don't go around spending their money, seeing just how much they can spend on any given purchase. Maybe I think spending more than 20k on a car is fucking stupid.

But its your money, do what you want. But you better not drive anywhere because if you wreck your 50k car you're pretty much going to be fucked.

Well then when you start a "need a new car" thread we'll keep that in mind.

Enjoy those insurance premiums, especially if you get in an accident.

well if you can afford a $50k car payment, the extra in insurance isn't that big of a deal. and your premiums go up if you get in an accident no matter what kind of car you have.
