Question

What is a good car to get for $40,000 and less?

I was thinking of getting a Hummer H3 or a BMW 325i..

anyone else have something else in mind that is good looking and is sort of cheap?

Answer 1

Subaru Impreza WRX STI 305 HP just under 40k

Mitsubishi Evo (primary competition to the STI)

BMW 325i is a good car for the money

Mercedes Benz C Class

Answer 2

G37/G35...I got one of these back in may, love every second of it. Blows the 325i out of the water. You can easily get one that's well equipped for well under 40k. The only other car that can top this is the 335i, but that thing starts at around 40k...with nothing.

Answer 3

Wait until early next year so you can get a hold of a new Camaro. The Camaro SS promises 422hp at 23mpg. I have heard speculation that it will cost around $35k.

A H3 wouldn't be bad. The H3 actually isn't too bad, it just seems to get a bum rap for the H1 and H2.

Can't say the BMW would be bad either.

It really depends on what kind of car you want and what you are planning to do with it.

Answer 4

A used Subaru Forester ( I like the 2001-2002 model best), the new ones are ugly. As for new cars the Legacy is hot. You may also like an Audi with Quatro (AWD). Hummers drink allot of gas and BMW's are a pain in the a## to work on. I just bought a 1998 Foester and Iove it. It handels like a sports car but has the versitility of an suv.

Answer 5

Loving the latest Camry! Check that out

Hate Hummers (no offense)

Answer 6

Try a Chevy Cobalt SS coupe. It has killer handling and a turbocharged engine that goes 0-60 in 5 seconds. Staring at like 23K
