i will be leasing a car soon but i need some suggestions of a car (brand new or used) with a 20k budget limit.

im not looking for any performance type cars, just something that is reliable and looks sexy.

right now if i could get my hand on a used 4th gen camaro, that would be great. but im looking for more options out here. doesnt matter if its japanese or american or even north korean

[Jgresch]

Why do you want to lease?

[1exotic]

So you are just looking for a daily driver you are saying?

You say you're not looking for performance type cars but you want a 4th gen camaro? eh?
20k for a brand new car doesn't get much; especially something that looks 'sexy'. There's the usual mazda3, civic, golf.

[Jgresch]

^ where will you find a veilside RX7 thats 20k and reliable

[PJ]

^ that made me lol

Go for a Genesis if you don't mind korean. Or... just get the Camaro..
"Sexy" is different for everyone. What you think is sexy the next person could think is butt ugly

Can you get the 2006 e90 3-series for 20K yet?

[CorneringArtist]

Buy Assrash's car for that price range :troll:

[BlacknJean]

Why do you want to lease?

why not? im poor

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

Can you get the 2006 e90 3-series for 20K yet?

depending on which trim

maybe the 323


328/330 no way

[orange7]

get a ford?

[ilvtofu]

the new golfs are pretty nice 2.5L is pretty quick

thats because i think it would be hilarious for an asian guy driving a muscle car.

how is it funny?

i've seen plenty of young asian guys driving a muscle car.

[BlacknJean]

^nigga, go back to off topic and troll the canucks thread. dont need you shatting on mine.

thanks guys im adding g35 and rx7 and rx8 on my list to look for

and about the camaro, even though its a strong car, im not looking modding the car even further as it is.

[some_punk]

does it have to be manual or auto?

[hkRicer]

thats because i think it would be hilarious for an asian guy driving a muscle car.

Not all asian like to eat rice!

[Jgresch]

why not? im poor

lol because leasing ends up being more expensive tha financing in the long run.... Financing gets you an asset that you can sell after. Leasing gets you nothing and costs you extra when you have to pay for repairs during the return or going over KMS etc

[orange7]

thanks guys im adding g35 and rx7 and rx8 on my list to look for



you asked for a reliable car...

I think you should take rx7 off the list.

I've heard some bad stories with them.

not sure about rx8 though..

[The_AK]

new Jettas are starting at approx 17, you should definitely look into one of those

I guess this video will relate in some way. The some of cars they mention are within his range.

[suzuka84]

spend 10k on a car and use the rest as a rainy day fund for things that go wrong

[orange7]

I like the design of the jettas...

so +1 to the jettas, even though i don't know much about their drivetrain and stuff.

[BlacknJean]

does it have to be manual or auto?

auto. i dont need to grow my dick any bigger by showing ppl how fast i shift my gears

[Jgresch]

^wtf lol

[1exotic]

auto. i dont need to grow my dick any bigger by showing ppl how fast i shift my gears

No. It's becuase you don't know how to drive manual, that's why you want auto.

manual = you drive the car
auto = the car drives you

[orange7]

seriously im just driving to get around places. its not like im racing or anything. simple is best.


im digging the genesis too

[fliptuner]

You say you're poor yet you want to lease a used car? Sounds like a good recipe to stay poor.

You'd be way better off financing a car you can afford or buying a cheaper car, outright.

[LuHua]

If you're poor, I'm seconding the other guy's comment, RX-7's needs plenty of maintenance. Just look around for some of the eco car options right now if you're strapped for cash: Mazda 3, Hyundai Genesis, Matrix, Corolla, Fit, Civic, Fiesta, Lancers, etc. There should be plenty of reliable options in your budget range.

Nothing close to performance, but then you save on maintenance, and gas right?

[mmmk]

i own a g35, it's reliable. but when shit needs to be fixed, it'll cost u an arm and a leg.
not as much as bmw/mb per say, but still costly.

[vitaminG]

or even north korean

North Korea makes great cars

[RE-Jo]

After reading all the posts you made, my recommendation is please stay away from RX-7's.

Thanks

there are so little BRAND NEW cars out there that can be under 20k after you package it up. (specially since you're going auto! and if you want AC, power everything).

i was in your position a few months ago, looking for a new car. i think it was mazda3 or lancers that charged 3000 (yes THREE THOUSAND) for AUTO TRANS. seriously??!?!?!? average cars add 1000 for auto, so be careful of which one you're looking at.

i recommend searching .CA websites for the cars you want in your list, and do the "build your car" things that their websites provide. throw on the packages you want, and figure out the lease/final prices. 90% of the time, you're going to go over 20k (i always went over 20k, even when i was looking at a civic... i guess i was too picky with the packages). figure out what you need, and where you can shave off some money. after building a nice car that you want, go to a dealer and bargain it down below 20k ;D

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

sounds like you need a civic

[Dragon-88]

You can get a 2011 Corolla CE package auto everything for $20G.... Thats if you want a auto eco car.. Very reliable and cheap on gas...

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

he did mention he wants an auto, and only needs it from point A to B

[Dragon-88]

If you really wanna go cheap get a Yaris.

no civic or camry since my family already owns those two.

but yea doesnt matter if its brand new or used. i'd rather get used since there are more options out there

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

than TSX/TL would be your best bet


comfy and reliable + auto

they both requires premium tho thats the minor downside. But most of the high efficient engines nowadays all requires 91 gas

roughly 450km per tank for both vehicle

[Arash]

Does anyone ever post back to which car they chose thanks to the advise given?
I would like to read some happy ending threads.

It would also be cool to have a poll at the end.

[BlacknJean]

^ill let you guys know when i chose one

and where can i find a genesis under 20g

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

^

probably a slightly used one


i believe brand new base 2.0T starts $24g ish and fully loaded 2.0T is $30g before taxes

That 10k WILL dry up FAST with the price of parts and labour. Not only that, that car is NOT practical as an A-> B car at all.

Let it dry up fast, live for the moment original poster. Competition for women is fierce out there, do you think a guy in a Genesis is going to out look a guy in a super looking BMW?

If you're looking for sexy S2k not sure if you can drive stick but it's certainly a nice car and used ones are under 20k for earlier ones.

[some_punk]

you said 4th gen camaro. Does it need to be a v8 or 6. I had 3 4th gens 2 that I still own, All 3 of them have been really reliable. One problem I did have was that I forgot to latch down the T-top and it flew off. And many 4th gens are well below 10000 now. Parts are dirt cheap, and they are cheap to maintain. If you are getting a early 4th gen, I would stay away from a them unless the waterpump and cam seals, and distributor has been replaced. If you want any more info on the 4th gen ask me. BTW one of my 4th gens is a for sale.

doesnt matter if its v6 or v8 but im kind of reluctant getting a camaro now since i heard its heavy on gas.

genny > bmw

Where'd you hear that from...? Depends what you're comparing it to in terms of fuel economy, it'll be no worse if not better than equivalent engines such as VQ35 or J32 engines. Obviously compared to a fit/versa you'll be looking at much higher gas bills but then again you're getting 3x the power at the least

worst advice ever

[1exotic]

OP isn't a car enthusiast so just go with the automatic genesis coupe and call it a day.

It's a great car for the money.

[BlacknJean]

i wasnt talking literally about a genesis being better than BMW. just my preference of genesis over BMW

[some_punk]

doesnt matter if its v6 or v8 but im kind of reluctant getting a camaro now since i heard its heavy on gas.

genny > bmw

The LS1 cars arent that bad, its better than alot of stuff with similar hp. The V8 and V6 have very little difference in fuel economy. Manual and auto I get around 13L/100km in the city. the 93-97 v8s are not that great, but the 98-02 cars are fine.

[BlacknJean]

ok so ive narrowed it down to three cars

Camaro, Genesis and Eclipse

do you guys know any good used auto dealership websites around? i only know of autotrader

[TOPoftheworld]

You sound like your buying a toy lol

If you have narrowed it down to those 3, then why not search around on craigslist / other car sites for some on sale.. and actually test drive it before you decide lol

I hope you don't intend to pick which car to buy right away using the internet without test driving other competitors

[PuYang]

what gen eclipse are you thinking of?

i hear the newer ones break super easily, and are very cheaply built. not sure about the old ones. best do tons of research before buying one.

EDIT: ^and dont miss the post right above mine ;D
craigslist is a good place to look, and test driving is important! ;]

^obviously i am going to test drive them before purchasing. and ive already used craigslist and what not. im trying to get more compettive price out there.

[CorneringArtist]

Putting form over function again I see...The OP needs a car that goes from point a to point b while being reliable and sexy, not some car that's all style but breaks down as soon as you touch something (ie. the 8 series if bought from some shady motherfucker).

Get your head out of the clouds.

to the OP: have fun testing what you've narrowed down to. if you tested all three, get back to us with any feedback you have if you want.

good deal if you can knock another 2 to 3 grand off...
you could tell the dealer that back in June this car was selling for $21,500 + tax brand new if you pay cash and see if they'll negotiate.

but i'm suspicious as to why this car with only 55kms ended up used at a toyota dealership though

+1 for mazda 2

why buy those under power unsafe garbage when you can get a proper car with better power to weight ratio, especially brand new. Cars are the worst investment when you buy them new, they only depreciate.

Are you kidding me? I can't fail you enough.

What the fuck kind of dumbass rationale is this? You want a Camaro because you think it'll make you look cool, which happens to be the same reason you think anyone would want a manual, except it turned out you were too dumb to learn it yourself?

Get the fuck off the forum.

edit: I literally couldn't fail you enough. So here, have some points too.
