I don't post here a lot but I read here a lot and this is one of the best forums for information I've ever been on. I've learned almost everything i know about cars here,.

Anyway I'm going back to school this fall and I dont think I can afford my G anymore. I can barely afford insurance and payments while working my *** off in the summer(I'm only 18), and school is coming up so thats gunna make things even harder.

My problem and question to you guys is, where do i go after I've had a G35? I know I have to downgrade. I figured a 2001-2002 S4 would be good even though service on those cars are a pain and theyre very heavy. Its sorta luxurious, a lot of potential having a twin turbo and is AWD (I live in CT, lotss of snow) I'd only get one if i could find one stock nogaro blue with decent mileage, which is damn near impossible. My insurance would also be lower which is a plus. I also looked at evos and some wrxs but thats just not me i guess.

What do you guys think?...It kills me to think of selling my car.

 

the s4's are so nice but your gonna go broke fixing it. Those cars are very unreliable at high mileage. downgrade to a 350z....lol its just slighty less expensive. The WRX's are nice too but if i got one of those i'd regret not having an STI. Tough choice.

 

ya i would downgrade as well you will pick up only a hair of speed with a z and insurance would be the same. And if you get a wrx you will do alot to become an sti you see it everywhere and its gay.

 

I hear what your saying about the wrx and sti/evo are even more expensive than the G. Idk I'm really thinking s4 I'm mechanically inclined and I'd probably be doing the service myself. Anything else out there? Supra? 300zx? 99 gsx? Idk I'm so confused all I know is I def can't afford a G. I wouldn't downgrade to a Z cuz of only 2 seats and it's nothing new and bot a huge price difference.

 

Almost sold my G for an 05 S4 last week lol.

Idk man. if you can keep it, thats what i'd do. You will take a hit selling it.

 

The thing is I wont take a big hit. I got it at a steal at the time. KBB private party says its worth 2g more than I paid but I know not to go by that. Last winter in my car sucked and I def cant afford a winter set-up.

Any other ideas? P.S looking for a turbo car because its cheap and easy to mod for a poor college student(waits for jerk to chime in saying get what you want, I'm just looking for opinions and pros and cons to each of my ideas)

 

99 GSX=FTW One of the best cars I've owned.

 

you wont find a supra worth buying for less than your g if you wanna go cheap but still fast look for a 240 and throw a turbo kit in it. it all depends on what you can afford.

 

hey guys,

yeah, downgrade from a G is hard **** man, you got the best looking car out there under 50G, so it's really hard, even most bimmers look pale compare to the sporty G,
evo and sti? - get real man, those littler ricers are fecking expensive as hell - go get a tiburon man - hyundai is always there for the poor little guys - don't be ashame boy -
STEP UP!!!

 

ehhh...everyone will call you a chick if you get a tiburon. You dont want that image, and if you rice up one of those itd be even gayer. I would just go for a VW jetta GLI, you can add a few bucks to put some speed on it too. itd be the same thing as the S4 just a little downgraded.

 

hey guys,

S4? - ain't much of a downgrade - chick car
smoked too many of them...

honestly dude - wanna a cool car & can't keep up w payments? quit school & work full time - that's what i did - still banging ho's left & right man

 

or you can just go to school and make more money so in the future you can actually support a family and live a good life...work full time now, you can have fun now, but wait till you get older and want to do more with your life than live in the lower class.

 

if you go with a VW get a GTI those things can look so nice when modded right. and if you get the 1.8t they are pretty easy to mod.

 

240sx
s2k
sti
350z

all good choices :]

 

Buy a 2004 G35x so you can stay in the club.
