Possible Move To The Us

[Fraser]

Due to work, I may be getting shipped off to LA for a couple of years. While I'm out here for this trip I figured I would go and do a little browsing over the car market to see what I may end up buying if I end up out here long term. (Don't worry Steve. GTR ain't going up for sale).

My budget is going to be a max of about 15k USD which so far has been looking at the following in the 2005+ age bracket.

Infinity g35 (aka V35 Skyline)

Nissan 350z

Mazda Rx8

Everything made over here has way to much tacky plastic and looks like a matchbox:

Mustang

Mustang GT

Dodge Charger

Cadillac CTS

Opinions welcome

[Guilt-Toy]

mustang.

Did i say mustang? ohhh yes!

[Sklyn]

A nice mustang would be nice.....but so would an Rx8!!

[ogz007]

hehehe might be bias, but ill go for a later year G35 Coupe. Would be an ideal car. Thing is.. would be more than 15k.. you would be lucky if you score a 2003 to 05 model. anyway all the best, enjoy Cali life.

[evil_weevil]

Dodge challenger ftw

then g35

[JAS-25T]

MX5.

Just sayin........

Yeah a GTR would be nice. I could just ship mine out? haha

I was thinking mx5, but I am thinking more aggressive, but still practical.

You can get a car called the Miata (spanish for i'm a lady-man) though.

well the way i look at it.....ur wrong

the Miata IS, the MX5 with a different name

and in japan apparently its called "Roadster"..its only called mx5 in aust

just like the Toyota Yaris.........its still called "Echo" in some countries...

and "Vitz" in various others......

and in north america its called "Belta" and asian countries "Vios"

[TKR]

rahhh dodge challenger

[mitchy_]

mustang.

[evil_weevil]

I think teh challenger is winning

And so it should, doge/chrysler should sell them here!!!

WANT.

Otherwise my next choice would be the charger.

the base model

Which I feel is much better looking than our falcadores!!!

Or, got a bit more cash?

get an srt8

[Sl!m]

Toyota Tacoma

I owned a 2002 toyota tacoma when I lived in the states

[Fraser]

It is possible to get a GT Mustang or a Dodge Charger R/T under 15k. Would just have to do some "negotiating" to get one with better miles.
