I've looked at evos, Subarus, and tried to find a BMW 335xi in my area but I cannot find any n54s within my specs around me. Evos are slightly out of the price range and I don't want to be a faggot driving around in the snow with that car.
No Saab 9--2x aeros I can find.
I'm not sure what else to consider.. Thoughts?

delusions: the post
Take that money, go to the bank, finance the $6-10000 difference.
Not hard. I'd go with a 2015+ WRX, 11-14 STi, or a newer Evo X.
Not unless you know someone who can rebuild it once you blow a piston ring.
I've considered this but don't want a large payment and don't want an car that costs 30k versus one that costs 10k right now.
I've got cash to buy a 30k Evo but pissing all your liquid in one go is a mistake so I only want to put down 5k max and finance the rest. Also I'm investing most of my cash right now.
Fiat Panda 4x4 twin air
Holy shit not bad. I live in Ohio next to IL and Hawkeyes are the best I know..
I am definitely going to consider this.
I actually do know someone. He builds a lot of Subarus. Bunch of import stuff, supras, usually high hp stuff... Single man and his shop
A certified pre-owned base model '15 WRX or even a leftover '16 WRX will run you $25k.
>only want to put $5k down
So you have $5k, then say that and keep looking for a used 02-05 WRX/Legacy GT. I'd suggest you raise your base by $2-3000 (personal loan from smaller bank, family/friends) and find something. I've seen Legacies with built motors sell for $6-8000. Keep a search alert active for the area within 200 miles and do it that way. Quite frankly, $15k is a shitty budget. You could either do a high mileage 04-07 WRX STi or 09-12 WRX, or a low mileage 06-08 WRX/Forester XT due to being too old or too high miles.
Neither of which most banks will touch for financing

Jew him down to $7000 flat.
It seems like too much, but then again these cars really didn't change a whole lot from when they first came out up until 2015 with the FA20. I bought my 9-2X Aero for $4000, and saw a few for $4-7000. Keep a eye out on the forums too.
I can put another 7 or 8 down, that is not the issue. I just don't want to spend it because I'm a jewnigger with a mutilated jewcock. (the latter is actually real)
I also am not a fan of Subarus but I will get over this.
I've also considered a buick regal GS 2012 used. 40k mi fwd 6spd from a dealer for right around 15k.
You'll get over that pretty quickly. I hated Subarus until I bought one. They feel like a 1990s car without the 1990s drawbacks. I'll readily admit Evos were better cars...but they don't make them anymore.

The appeal is there and they have their niche, try finding a Turbo AWD sedan that isn't totally soulless.
Like I said these cars didn't change a whole lot from 2002-2005 to 2015. Try to find a older one in a non-salt state, or one with a fresh motor for $7-8000 or less. I paid $4000 for mine from Miami. Paint is fucked on all the plastics, and it has 100k miles and due for a timing belt job but it's better than anything I found up in NYC.
Best advice aside from that is to keep looking. They're rare but still there.
I appreciate this post. Im going to look into them more.

BMW 335xi 07-10. That's also what I've been looking for.
I only have a month or two to look and I honestly don't see myself keeping the car for more than a year or two so I don't think I want to travel more than a couple hundred miles for it.
Why not look at an AWD G37?
Those are a thing, but they're not turbocharged. Why does it have to be a turbo engine anyway?
>AWD
>Turbo
Was Just s preference. Car could be fwd or an inline 6/v6.
This opens a bunch of other options.
Celica?
Fun cars if you can deal with a 6spd Automatic.
Then look for a CPO car or a good deal on a Turbo Subuaru and sell it when you're done. At least they hold value.
Or go for a lease on a Q50 AWD.
I'm not crazy on the Twin Turbo BMWs, they need deep pockets but you get a lot of car for the money. If you buy one keep $2-3000 stashed for when something breaks.
I have the cash so I have accounted for that.
Will check out cpo Subarus
They'll still run you close to $20-25k (since Subaru won't CPO a car older than 2011-12) but you'll be able to get financing and it'll be stock and keep warranty.
If you're keeping it for 1-2 years you're a prime candidate for a lease.
I was deciding against the lease because it is hard to find a respectable lease price for a Subaru. My current lease is a Cadillac ats AWD and it's $300 a month. Subarus are more, you have to put money down. And you get no comforts.
>within my specs around me.
If you're not willing to travel to get what you want, you'll never find what you want.
