I'm thinking of dumping shanaynay

yes .. u heard it right ... i'm thinking of dumping my baby ... i'm really tired of her .... shes getting too old for me ..
I still have about 30 months of payments left on my civic and i've had her for about 2 1/2 years now ... she has about 27000 miles on her .... how much do u think i will get for her ?.. !

as for the cars that i'm thinking of getting ...
these are my options :

Lexus IS300 - nice...lots of potential
Audi A4 - classy
Mazda 6 - voted one of the best cars of 2003
Volkswagen Passat - sessy
Acura TL - reliable
Mini Cooper - Pimp !!!
maybe a 350z .. if i can afford it !!!

What do u think i should get ?

I'm able to pay a maximum of $400 a month for the new car .....and i'm going to put about 5g on the downpayment !!

so whatever is left on my car is going to be added on the new car .. so for example the IS300 is worth 27000 + 7000 (leftover) + TTL + interest = total ... am I calculating this right ?

The more I see the A4 the more I like it..

The Mazda 6 is too new for me, give it a year or two for them to work out the bugs.

Hey Martin... I cant believe your really thinking about it... Personally I'd go with the IS300 or the Audi... Very nice cars.. Oh yeah and remember what I had told you if you were ever to get rid of your car. Catch me on AIM so we can talk about it... Laters man...

isn't the base 350z in the price range of the is300 or a4? unless the markup is still that ridiculous. but whatever you choose, stick with the manual tranny!

A4 or I will never speak to you again.

Okay, so I don't know you and have never met you, but get the A4. Live out my dream for me until I can take my shot at the A4. It costs less than the IS300, and IMO looks better. It's a more elite car, I'm more impressed with the fit/finish and just about everything else of the A4 over the IS300. Mmm... German engineering. I personally wouldn't pay 30,000 for a Japanese car though. So that's my bias.

Oh... and you gotta get Quattro. It's not worth buying without it. Believe me, you won't miss that 2G.

I'd say a stock 350Z.
When it gets paid off, then a whole slew of aftermarket parts will be available for it including a larger and more diverse variety of bolt-on turbos, big brake kits, coilovers, aerodynamics that's available now.

As for something more "daily driver," I'd have to go with the IS300.
Toyota simply makes a great car. There's aftermarket support.

Both cars already look good stock.

BTW, like what you did to your car. I got the same full Tsunami bodykit on my 01 black coupe. 'Cept I got gunmetal slipstreams and I kept my stock headlights. Other than that, Shanaynay looks a lot like my car.

Sounds good man.. Why not just look for an older Hatchback Civic or SI... I'm pretty sure you can find one of those around there or even an Integra... JMO... Laters

hatchbacks/SI's = ripoff in houston cause everybody wants them. integras too, but not as much. go to a police impound auction or find one out of state!
