ok these are all in penn.. wasnt sure where you live in penn, so i did my search from bloomsburg.. cause its pretty much in the center of penn.. all cars i display are 6MT and are 300 miles or closer to bloomsburg..
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/search...=50&make=INFIN
select "list car from lowest to highest".. i like the first car..under 17 grand (barely) and it has full tint and spoiler and decent mileage.. the first four cars are premium listings.. so dont think the prices are going up that fast.. on the fifth car you will reach the featured listings.. these generally will have a LOT bigger range and better prices.. now those are just the 6MT... the automatic G35's will have a search range with 3-4 times as many cars..

The reason I want a coupe is:
Better seats
Exhaust
looks
2 door since I am young(But dont really mind a 4 door)
Some other things but I forget, LONG day.

Corolla ftw
IMHO, the Corolla is absolutely the best bet. When I was your age (not very long ago) I drove a '94 N/A eclipse with a ricer exhaust and one headlight out. Be careful not to the take the generosity of your parents for granted.
Now I'm 22 and just graduated from college. I just bought an '04 IP G35x for $18.5k. Trust me it's not worth it to add on extra expenses while in school. I thought I'd be such a baller when I graduated (I'm making $60k+) but after car payments, insurance, phone bill, rent, credit card, student loans I'm not poor by any means, but not exactly where I thought I'd be. The people here with sincere advice are right, it's not worth it at your age. Trust me, while you're in school money will be tight whether you're working or not, and you're gonna want that extra cash ($150/ month or whatever you said it was) to party and just be able to live without worrying about cash monayyy.
I know how you feel though. I've wanted this car forever and it was AWFUL waiting this long. But knowing I bought it on my own and have the means to pay for every part of it is absolutely worth it.
Good luck and sorry for the long post.

i haven't perused the rest of this thread, but if it's anything like the first page, i don't want to. this kid is asking for advice on how to convince his parents to let him buy a car. don't give him your opinion, give him facts or nothing at all.
FWIW, my parents gave me a hybrid Honda Civic that they didn't use anymore. i'm 6'6, and the honda was uncomfortable, slow, and not fun to drive. as soon as i had the money to fund the difference, i traded it in for the G. was it economical? DEFINITLY NOT. do i regret it? same answer. i offered the honda back to them and they said that they gave it to me and it was mine to do with as i please. i really hate it that people come and have a good attitude and want to join a community and people give them **** for it.

And quite frankly, you should keep the Corolla. You don't know how expensive these cars are to own and maintain until you've actually owned one. If you're a student, you DEFINITELY can't afford it.

What effect does using normal gas on the engine have besides slightly less power?

I kinda wish I didn't have to pay for it at all, my parents just spent $115,000 on a timeshare in the Virgin Islands
