I didn't want to jack dustin's thread so...My GF and myself were thinking of saving up a bit to put a down payment on something newer. So far, these are the choices...
I know they all aren't in the same price range, but I/we are willing to spend a bit more for something a little more luxurious/classy (TL/G35). Looking for something between $25-30k CAD. Car prices up here are a bit more expensive than they are stateside, but if you guys can suggest anything else that fits in the price range, please post it up and WHY. Just to compare, a few local guys imported a couple brand new 06-07 sti's last year from the states, and they ended up being close to $5-6k CAD chepaer landed (after import taxes/duty/gst/excise/whatnot). Let me know! Thanks! |

Thanks for the input so far guys! Keep it coming. I only put up the civic because the GF likes the '06-'07 Si styling. I am leaning more towards TSX/TL for the Honda/Acura department.
And with regards to the G35, doesn't the G designate the car class (G, J, R etc) and the number, the engine size? Much like how BMW's are classed...? |

Mmhmm, that the part in my theory that didnt make sense, was the way skylines are badged... I had a look at the price of lexus' and I don't think they will be a reasonable option. For the price range I'm looking for (25-30k CAD) they are fairly old ('02ish) and have high km's (100+) compared with the other contenders. That seemed to be the general price for all models of lexus. Any other thoughts? At the moment I'm leaning towards either a scoob or TSX/TL. |
