Help Me Buy A Car

The Subie's are nice , but with 30 k i woulda imported something rediculous from japan. I mean you can either pick..good gas mileage, or really fast smile.gif .  Bmw's are cool and all but they arent always good for parts unless you know someone (i know the local bmw and benz mechanic).  Skylines are a bitch for parts. But if i was allowed to spend 30 k on a car i would import a couple. I mean a fairlady z twin turbo 3l will cost you under 10 k and you could tune it with the rest of the money...or get a bentley r turbo...its either a 6.7 or 7.6 litre turbo ohmy.gif . I saw a really riced out looking toyota celsior a while back..sold for about 23 k i think. Theres a couple places that do the importing for you but charge you up the bum in terms of marking up the price of the car.

I know you've already decided on the subie, but just look at what japan has to offer for future reference smile.gif .  Also..on newyears day you are allowed to import the third gen (92) rx7's which are cool and fast.  Keep in mind these are all rhd except for the bmws , benz and porsche.  A bmw 850 i with a 5l v12 will run you about 10-12, landed, a 500 sl about 15, and well theres about a billion diff skylines available smile.gif

Anyway..thats just me wishing i had that much money to blow on  a car for my graduation. I drive a 93 Camry...its basically a nuclear bomb shelter on wheels smile.gif . Nothing flashy or particularly fast but i like it smile.gif .

Better find one of the 3 guys in North America whom can actually work on that car. They are NOT reliable. Gorgeous. Stunning. Amazing handling. And the most assinine car on the face of this earth to work on. I'm not 100% convinced Mazda could have fit more vacuum lines under the hood if they tried.

Do they have Scion in Canada? If so, you check those out, they are cheap and you can do alot to them. Thats just a thought for you.

Scion site.

Well guys, after driving my friend's '06 Type-S, I'm starting to reconsider the STi. If I get a Type-S I could get one brand new (just have to save up $5k myself), any colour I want, BRAND NEW! So I've started to reconsider again. I'm hoping to go try out the Mazdaspeed 3, that thing is ridiculously fast and CHEAP. $31,000 Canadian for 263hp and 280lb/ft of torque...and it gets decent gas mileage!

Yeah I've heard. Everyone's giving it great reviews. And it's about $3k cheaper than an 06 Type-S. blink.gif
