Ok heres the thing, i just started working fulltime, so ill be pulling in some nice sized checks. Im gunna sell my J and i wanna get something fun and i need some ideas. Ok so im looking at a 4cyl or v6 (no v8's) gunna look into getting a loan for around $10,000-$12000, + w/e i get for the J. So I need ideas for cars i can possibly get with in teh $10-15000 price range. Im not lookin for trucks, something with reasonable gas mileage. So ya, gimmie some ideas, what would YOU buy if you had the same budget etc..
Buy an early 90's Camaro V-6, and turbo it.
Not as popular as your everyday V-8 Camaros.
1983 Camaro Z28
Here's my list if I had roughly $15k to spend on a used car right now:
2004+ WRX
SRT-4
2000's Toyota Tacoma

Sold 2/2/05
Hmm thats funny cuz i was looking into a camero around those years, sounds like it could be fun
Keep em coming.
Ok little change, max budget will probably be close to $10,000 unless i put some aside

If you played your cards right, you could pick one up, turbo it, and still have money left over for other things, like rims and tires.. or whatever you please basically.

That i could.., ive always liked Camaros. Hmm this has got me excited
, gotta get this fun stuff while im still living at home (im only 19 so dont be scared lol), and have limited bills to pay ; )
arnt BMW's expencive as far as parts go?
Get an inline 6cylinder Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee.
They will last forever!!! One you go off roading you'll fall in love.
I miss my jeep

^^^ For the bmw, are they/can they be pretty peppy? Compaired to a stock 2.4l cavy (current car) would you say there faster? I love the look of bmw's, thats probably the only 4door id concider getting. Nice an classy
Ill have to research them more. How is it on gas?
Are those 03 Cobra wheels on your Jeep?
O noes!
You could buy my Camaro! It's a V8 though.
Mmm im thinking i wont bother with the bmw, no matter how much i like the looks, i swore id never get one lol. I like Domestics
Plus im a pretty big guy, im almost too tall to fit in the cavy :S, need leg room lol. The camaro idea is still tempting. Im just wondering how big of a difference in mpg id notice between the v6 and v8. Im not a tard i know there will be a difference, but im not sure how much. I like the sound of a v6 and turbo as suggested before, do you think that would be fun to drive?

Holding out over import/domestic is lame. Especially when you buy used, cause the import/domestic company doesn't even see your money.
The BMW has way more interior room and niceties than any Cav.
LS1's get better mpg than most people assume. Esepcially if you don't beat on it all the time. And if you turbo a V6, you're looking at crappy gas mileage anyways (especially comparing a 5 speed V6 with a 6 speed V8).

to each his own right? 
Buy what will make you happy; just do me a favour and don't "swear-off"
any brand without having a solid reason. For example, I swore off Sony
products because every single Sony CD and DVD player I bought broke
weeks after the warranty expired. "Swearing off" sony just for the sake
of swearing off a brand is a real injustice to yourself.
Ya I guess your right, ill just have to look around. But ive always been partial to Domestics, i love that v8 rumble
but i dunno, we'll see. I guess a smaller car like that could be fun. Keep the ideas coming though. The bmw you suggested seems to be going for like 12-17k, i was thinking of like 12k tops
Got any other suggestions for a little less $$??
Hmm I never thought a v8 could get decent gas millage :S I had a explorer for like a month, it was a v6 though and it went through $20 in gas in like.. 2 days lol, that kinda turned me off of v6 and v8's for awhile but i suppose a v8 car must get better milage than my old explorer did cuz of the weight difference alone. Im not saying i dont like bmws, i think there looks are very sleek and sexy, but theres just something bout a v8 rumble that gets me going lol, so your saying a z28 v8 might actually be better than a z28 v6 turbo'd?? Or did i hear you wrong?
