I thought we had this talk last night?

I'll help you haggle the dealer with what ever car you want. As long as you feel you can afford it.

Judging from what we talked about last night with the numbers you will have to settle for a car you can get out the door tax and title for under 30k

Even if you have a nice down payment of 4-6 grand. It's not going to give you the best rate because:

A) credit history
B) your age
C) you still live with your parents so no home no equity

I can give you some good tips on what to do I just won't tell you what car to get anymore

I tried explaining to you about get the EVO RS even tho it has no radio, no power windows no 6 speed. It's basically AWD turbo with training wheels. I didn't tell you to get a slower car, I mentioned to get a car that's easier to drive and it's in your budget.
my credit history is fine, since I was able to buy my wrx without a co-signer. If you want to come along, that's fine with me, but I'm not buying a base new car.

I don't see the EVO RS as a base model
I mean all of us try to think(yes I said think not make) our cars into race cars right?
My car has all of the upgraded options from the dealer but I've removed most of it including a/c. Then again that's just me.

Ok so it doesn't have power windows, see if the dealer can give you that option.

So it comes with no stereo, the factory ones suck

You're going to fix the car up anyway and its not the same as buying a honda civic DX compared to teh SI

If I can find an old rs coupe, with a clean title. I would strip everything out of that car, I wouldn't do that to a new car

you know you're the only person I've ever met who decides on cars for the following reasons

6 speed, HIDs?


My first car
FF automatic
2nd car
5 speed Mid engine Turbo
3rd car
5 speed FR twin turbo
4th car
5 speed AWD NA now turbo
6th car
5 speed MR NA and light
7th car
5 speed AWD turbo luxury


you base off cars on how many gear they have and if it has HIDS?

c'mon BE A MAN

choose a car because its fun to drive. Maybe AWD is too much for you, go to FR.
