Im looking to buy a car around 20,000$ - 30,000$ including tax.
I don't have much requirements. Except that it's auto. Doesn't matter if it's JDM or any others. Preferably 1995 and up.
4 seaters or 2 seaters are fine. But I don't want civics.

I'm looking for a car around that price range too, and have started looking into Acura TL's. I'm thinking its the best bang for my buck

I would personally go with STI since it would seem fun to have a all year round beast, but since that does not mean your "auto" requirement...i guess not.
Acura TL...?

God there's so many choices. Give us some more criteria.
Import only? Brand preference? New or used?
Lexus SC400, LS400. IS300.
Acura TL Type S (many years), NSX.
Toyota Avalon. (heh)
Infinity M45, FX45, G35.
Nissan Maxima, Altima.
Subaru Legacy.
Mazda RX-8.
Mercedez Benz (many many many models).
BMW 3-series, M3, 5-series.
Geez.
Mercedes-Benz

doesnt matter import or export. brand new or used are fine. just need to fit in the price range criteria
no brand preference
also prefer cars that have the sporty type of look. like the genesis or what not

20-30k could fetch you a brand new car in the mid-trim level.
No civics... but they're still pretty good cars for what they're worth... perhaps a new lancer? gotta be more specific.

why get a second hand car when your budget is 30k unless you are after luxury rides.? get a genesis its best bang for the buck at this price range.

If you want brand new, the Genesis is your only option really. with the auto, if you finance, you'll be pushed over the 30k limit, paying cash you'll be right about 30k.
as for used, a WRX or old STI would be a good idea, but good luck finding one in an auto.
TL is very do-able with that budget and are plentiful in automatics. FWD though and everyone and their dog has one now that they're worth almost nothing.
My vote is obviously with the genesis though, even if it's an auto, it's a platform that has endless mod options or a warranty that's hard to beat.
