As the title suggests, I'm after some suggestions on buying a new car meeting the following criteria

Must be from a dealership, no older than 5 years, anything up to $40k and the preferences are:

1.Audi

2.Saab

3.Merc

4.BMW

5.Other suggestions

Pretty much in that order. So throw up suggestions/photos of some of the nicer looking models in that price range :O

Cheers

Dez

new or secound hand? 40 grand wont get a new coupe but will get something like a e46 328 coupe or even a e36 m3

new or second hand doesn't matter, as long as its not over $40k, and is from a dealership...obviously the newer the better, but obviously with a limit of $40k the newer you go the further down the ladder you get as far as models go

Honda Accord Euro.

Go drive one - you'll be impressed at how nice they are.

Otherwsie a Golf GTi

Saw a Golf GTi tonight and thought it might fit into the crieteria actually...what are they going for new/2nd hand ?

This isn't for me by the way, it's for my brother with this job he's just landed...

I'm also suggesting an F6 Typhoon....Not sure what they're going for 2nd hand (BA/BF) but if they can be had for under $40k in good condition, one of those in black, with the black wheels, they do it for me nicely...

I just don't think $40k is enough to get one of the nice (what I deem nice anyway) Euros like the Mercs/Beamers etc...and Saabs dont really do anything for me..

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
