Yeah if you're a student, I would stay away from the BMW.
Better yet, if you can't afford a project, save the money until you're finished school and land your first job.
Then you'll have steady income and won't need to limit your choices as much.

Just saiyan..

so your beater 300zx needs work?

I'd say for a student, out of those list of cars....the GSR shines a bit better than the others on your list. but then it needs a new block already? it's only 244k...

I think you should look into a civic/corolla. good on gas, don't break down easy, cheap parts...good for a student.

There is also the fuel cost as you drive around. The maintenance cost builds up after a while. A good estimate is 50% to 100% of the would be fuel cost that has to be put back into maintenance. For example, if it costs you $50 every two weeks for fuel-ups, be prepared to put in $50 to $100 a month for maintenance (depending on the vehicle). Of course, you may not need to do anything for a few months, but might get hit by a hefty bill when you actually do maintenance. Unless you do your own work, then there's some savings.

If you had to choose from your provided list above, number 1 to 3 are fine. I would stay away from the BMW.
