OP if you're going to come into this with a budget of 15k just be prepared to sit at stock for some time. If you don't plan to modify then save your cash and find one that looks and works for you. If you plan to mod STILL save your cash and find the right one for you. Once you buy you can't go back and have to work with what you got.
I'm pretty sure he was talking about both cars stock, the coupe looks better. Take a blunt to the face and calm down.

And I just looked at the guys sedan you were referring to. It's clean, but I wouldn't go so far as to say the best looking on the site.

He said it was one of the best looking ones.... and I agree.
There are tons of people who like sedans over coupes and vice versa.
Doesn't matter, its your car and you pick what you want, we just all love G's.
@OP: if 12-15k is your range, your best bet is finding a
high mileage (100K) 03-04 and still have money left over for mods. GL

i would say stay with cheaper car if you plan going to college so you don't feel that stress about money.
Canadian army will pay for your university/college so thats why I was looking into the G, right now I'm not doing school and working everyday and going back next year, so how I see it it's my only year to save up, I got no bills (cept phone)

+1 Sedans look great when they're done right... But if you want a coupe, get a coupe. I'm personally a coupe kind of person and even if I have 3 kids one day I'll still have my own coupe to drive.

I saw the G35 first year it came out and told myself I was going to have one someday. Bought mine two years ago as a college student and I have loved every single day I've owned it. Trust me, if you don't get the car you want, you're always going to be looking back thinking "dang it.. I should have waited longer." It is worth every penny and more of the $23k I spent. I only hate it sometimes because I'm always broke and I keep spending money on it......... =D

If you decide to get a prelude. Stay away from the 97-01 automatics. A lot of problems with the transmission. Cost about a grand for rebuilt.

Do it. My friend drove 2,700 miles across the country from Nevada to New Jersey to buy the perfect STI he was looking for.

Make sure you look into insuance first before you get anything. Sometimes it can be as expemsive as the car payment. Good luck bud!

I was surprised when I looked at what insurance would be for me. It was lower then what I would pay for a TL. And I have two tickets lol.

yea I got quotes, in B.C we only have 1 insurance you can get and it's ICBC, it doesn't take in info like age and stuff it just has one set price for each car/trim then you have a discount for however you drive, for having your license for a full year I have a 5% and it'll be $193 per month.

I wanna get it from the U.S but I heard you have to be 19 to sign papers to bring it over

If i was able to get a car from seattle like this car right here I wouldn't mind as a sedan. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/2249451040.html it's an auto but I don't think it's that bad, or I could get this car and just mod it http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/2249229766.html

In my area tho there are these 3 that stand out, http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/bn...247748029.html is the lowest KM's and also the cheapest, wouldn't be bad, http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/bn...245084087.html best year and color I think but ALOT of KM for a 2005! http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rd...236029155.html and this is just inbetween, an american import. This has been up for sale for months tho.

Not to bad for insurance.

Both of those rides are nice. Just take your time man, don't decide on one car to fast. Patience is key, you will find something you will like, and can afford soon. Good luck.

a G35 isn't too much to pay for, even thought sometimes i think about how i coulda got all the new gaming systems, or taking girls out, or new shoes and stuff...
but when i look at my car every morning, im happy :]
a few hundred dollars a month isn't too much to stress about
im in high school and i manage to do it without my parents
g35 have really became affortable, but think about gas. seriously. LOL
