20 k car... what would u get?

[tupacboy]

so my friend is looking for a car... she has a lil over 20k... and is in for used luxury cars... what do you think she should get?

[bachviet]

99-01 Lexus GS400/430

[AlpineJay]

Any off-lease Acura TL (I think 2003 and beyond).

GS400's a good choice too.

I also like the 2003 Infiniti G35, sedan or couple. Can be had just around 20K.

[Merlin]

Get a new Solstice.

[Jeffbx]

G35

[SmokeyDP]

BMW 3 series?

[nhbilly]

S2000

[ray]

What type of luxury cars is she considering? SUV, Sedan, Convertible, 2 door, 4 door?

I would say go with Lexus or Bimmer (even though I dislike bimmers)

[attgig]

Saab 93

[adjaw]

Get a brand new Camry SE. They ride great, have nice features, and they're not too bad on the gas.

[Bires]

2006 Sonata
2004 Accord EX

[kimchicowboy]

2006 Sonata
2004 Accord EX
:stupid: my exact choices.

if she really wants luxury, i'd go with the TL or G35 ideas.

[Cheesypuff]

I'd would go with the lexus IS300 series for $20,000 big ones...

Yeah those are nice!

Also, you can get a 99 M3 with a warrenty for under $20K. I was looking at the IS300, but picked up a 97 M3 for 11.5K which was a steal.

[tupacboy]

thanks guys... looks like she's getting a 02 ML with 46K miles for $21,000... i think tha'ts pretty good...

[StonedWheat]

ML? :disa:

[SmokeyDP]

ML? :disa:
Well I think buying an suv at a time when gas prices are at a record high is a brilliant idea. :spock:

[MikeD]

320, 430, or 500?

[brainsmile]

yeah... uh good choice

[bachviet]

Most likely ML320

[MikeD]

Most likely ML320

There are probably better choices. With that said, if she's happy with it then she should go for it. She's the one driving it every day.

holy monkey...97 for 11.5k....that is a damn good price...

[AlpineJay]

ML? eh...

[brain]

Take it from a previous ML owner. Don't do it... The new ML is SOOO much nicer. I guarantee she will have lots of problems with her car... like the MAF needing to be replaced.

[Agent Plissken]

2006 Sonata LX
(you can tell its the LX from the chrome door handles and 17" wheels)

[LegendKiller]

The only G35 you will find in the latest edition would be a 03 sedan with higher miles on it. 03, 04 coupes are still in the high 20s to low 30s. Most sedans are low/mid 20s.

[SmokeyDP]

You can pick up a 2002 Acura TL for $20K with a 100K warranty. NICE car....

[Bires]

do people even read through the whole thead anymore?
