Default Wanting to buy a new car...

... but can't really pick which one I want. I currently own a '01 Spa Yellow stook. I've had it for 4 months and have 6100 miles on it. To me thats to many. I need something to drive also so i can put miles on it. I also would like something that i can drive in the winter. I've been looking around and here is what i've come up with.

Subaru WRX - Very nice, probably what i am looking to spend.
Lexus IS300 - Really nice, but probably a little out of price range.
Audi S4 - Probably out of my price range.
or 98 Nissan 240sx - I love how they look personally.

Keep in mind im only 18 and i still have to pay for my stook. I'm just looking for some other suggestions that people may have. Also if some people can comment on some of these cars and let me know what you think, thanks.

Are you an independantly wealthy 18 year old or are your parents footing the bill? Not trying to be a jerk or anything but an 18 year old with a stook and now another car? You are living large my man.

I pay for it all myself. Well my aunt paid for the stook in full and i make payments to her. This way i don't have pay so much a month, and i can afford another car. I do have a very good job that i could buy another car. The only thing is that with this car she isn't paying for it and i make payments to her.

so does anyone have an ideas for cars?

I went for a drive in Austin and I really liked the RSX. If I HAD to have a daily driver and didn't have one already, (civic), I would totally go for the RSX. It looked like it was pretty fun to drive and seemed like it took some concepts from the S2000.

Just a thought.

I drove one, and wasn't to impressed. Besides, I'm hoping to stay away from the front wheel drive cars.

buy my car


I think the WRX would be the good choice. I mean you already eliminated 2 of your choices.

I also like the body of the Nissan but the engine does not cut it. If it only had the 2 liter engine we have back home, it would be a very fun car to drive. 200SX has 200hp and it is one wicked toy that you can throw around. How do I know? I had one back home.

I just got an IS300 and I really like. It's a nice car. I've owned an A4, and I almost got an S4 but the dealer wouldn't deal at all, so I got the IS. PM me if you have questions.
