Hey all, I am looking to get a new car. looking to spend under 20k and just wanted to see what recommendations you all had. I might just end getting a STi.

 

STI's cost a little more than 20k.

 

If you're not trying to start a family and you're able to get through this economy without saying "paycheck to paycheck" I'd say go with the STI.

There are a bunch of cars under or par with 20k. What kind are you looking for; Economical/DD/Track/Fun?

 

But are worth it!

I recommend 06-07 years if you are trying to keep it in the 20's range.

 

there was a nice 06 black wrx FS in the classifieds. I think it was 18k-ish

 

best NEW cars in that 20k range are the Mazda 3 and the Subaru RS. Maybe a civic too.

 

do you mean 'new' or just new to you?

Heres a guy selling an STI for $15K

^ i was just looking on CL and noticed the good prices on all the E46 M3's. you can get a used one for right around $20k low miles too.

and E36 M3's for under $10k.

Right now is a good time to buy a used sti.
