    I am looking at buying a new (pre-owned) car. No, I am not getting rid of the ranger. I am just looking for a vehicle I can have fun with in the summer time and still drive my ranger in the winter, also something that stands out in a crowd or when you see it, you say "you don't see one of those everyday." (Yes some I'll list you might see everyday, but you get the idea). I work at a car dealership, so it's all about who's d*** is bigger, I'm not trying to get into that, but I definitely want to stand out amongst the people I work with. Added perk of working for the dealership is, I can have our buyers keep an eye out if I'm looking for a specific vehicle, and I can usually get it for a great deal.

    Here are some of my guidelines I'm trying to stay by:
    under $25k
    under 70k miles
    sports car type (coupe, convertible, etc)
    Manual trans
    Doesn't have to but would like it to get better MPG than my truck, and I understand with sports cars, it may not be possible.

    Ones I have been looking at:
    03-07 BMW M3's (coupe or convert)
    03-07 Infiniti G35 coupe
    Honda S2000
    Nissan 350z Nismo editions
    02-05 Corvette's
    I've even found a few Maserati's under $25k (no they aren't wrecked lol)


    Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Get a domestic lol. One car Iv ALWAYS wanted was a Marauder. They can be found on the cheap ($10-$15k) and shouldnt be too difficult to find one with under 70k miles. They have a Mustang Cobra engine but they didnt make it in a manual. although it shouldnt be hard to convert ;)

    Yes I know your answers and you also said the same thing about Porsche's, even though in the dream car thread, you put up a Porsche Carrera GT....

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. Trying to not get a stang since there are a lot of people around here that have them.

    Keep up the suggestions though!!! I have been in the market for a while, but just haven't found the right fit yet.

    Lol, I chose not to respond to you because I do not want a Delorean. But I would love to get a flux capacitor so I can go back in time...

    I know what you are saying, no one has them, and there's probably a reason for it.

    And bitches do love shinny things... But I'll keep looking, thanks for the input.

    the only reason is the stock motor is underpowered, but i know someone here who ordered one from this company that builds then with the left over parts when the factory closed down but with a bigger motor so he has a brand new one 2010 1981 delorean

    Actually, Audis are startin to grow on me... you should look into some of them. The A4 and A6 are nice. You can find a RS6 for fairly cheap although they are older (2002-2004) and not manual. BUT theyre twin turbo V8s :)

    Yea, Audi's have come up in the conversation. I do like the A6's but definitely if I got one it would only be the RS6.

    Theyre pretty sweet lol. The older ones are pretty nice and they fit into your specs almost perfectly. You can get one with under 70k miles for around 20k-25k

    Exactly lol. Thanks for the input. I just don't know if I'm ready to get another car yet. Still owe a bit on my truck, but if work keeps up like this, I may be able to increase my budget up to around $35k. We shall see.

    Wowee! 35K?! Get the 2008-2010 RS6 lol

    Yea, but if I'm spending $35k, I can get an nice 05-08 Corvette or maybe a little older Z06 that would blow the RS6 out lol.
