Galaxy S3 Watering Hole

Used car.... I always buy used for cars. Maximum depreciation is 2 years. So a 2 year old car with low miles of perfect. I bought my accord 3 years old with 14k miles on it. Fully loaded and in perfect condition for 15k less than the same model brand new.

def agreed, gettin a CPO'ed is the best bang for the buck. but i dunno, i love the new car smell xD

My buddy picked up a 335i off-lease from a guy who couldn't afford the payments and had to go to a 1-series. It had about 9k miles on it and its immaculate - the previous owner even did some subtle mods to it during those 9k.

The FRS and BRZ are both awesome cars and if you're only looking to get mid-20s on your gas mileage I'd also look at the new 2013 VW GTIs - as a VW guy myself they are absolutely killer cars for the money, comfort and speed (and ability to mod) is pretty unmatched.

i would consider a 1 series...actually maybe i should look into those as well. thanks for reminding me those exist :)
i honestly dont like hatchbacks. new gti's are pretty quick, but styling wise its not for me.

Not real familar w/ these cars to be honest, as I've been a Honda / Acura guy my whole life. :p

Have you looked at the Acura ILX ? :D

i looked at the ILX, looks like a great commuter car, but not for me. im still kind of young ish ( 26 ) so i want something sporty ish. preferbly with a manual transmission.

1-series are real nice, especially the 135i - they did a nice job bringing down the price on those to make them affordable

Even when your hatchback looks like this? ;)

It's funny you say this b/c you ( your age ) are the person / people Acura is trying to get to purchase this car. It's underpowered any way.

there is no way ( at least not in NYC ) will the ILX attract anyone from my age group lol.

the only car we r interested in is the nsx xD

my pops had a legend and an RL. he was an acura fanatic. loved those cars. smooth luxurious rides.

HAHA I don't drive at that height, actually I can't. My subframe and exhaust hangers are laying on the ground. I've tried to drive that low and all I do is drag stuff and leave marks on the ground. I do drive really (stupid low) sometimes though. Below is before I was on air suspension and drove daily this low.

Originally from Staten Island, yup so I know the BQE all too well (I avoid it like the plague).

i have no choice, thats the only highway i use :/ and the belt parkway is not any better...

about a month ago i hit a manhole on the belt with my g sedan and i broke a stud off my wheel hub. car was vibrating like crazy until i pulled over and figured out why. very scary.
