Im Getting A New Car

So i decided that i am in the market for a new ride and here are my options.

2004 chev avalanche with 22" rims
2004 GMC Denali with 20" rims
Acura El with 18's
Mazda 3 with 18's
Mazda 6 with 19's
Toyota TRD Matrix (comes with 18's)
Dodge SRT-4 with stage 3 mopar upgrade


those are my options, what do you guys think. I am not getting another civic b/c the service at our local dealers is ****. I also get huge discounts at GM, Mazda, And Toyota. And Acura said they will give me a bit of a deal.

And yes if anyone is wondering my car is for sale, so make me an offer.

Based on your other choices, I'm going to say that you don't seem like you need the Denali or Avalanche (ie. you don't go off-road alot or haul alot of stuff), so I would eliminate them and avoid being one of these lemming Stupid Useless Vehicle (SUV) owners.

Of your choices, I would go with the EL (yes I am biased) or the Matrix.

BTW, why are you so concerned with having large rims?

If you can get a good deal at Toyota... then go for the Celica TRD.

If not then I vote for the Mazda 3 Sport.

First off, i work on construction sites for 10 outta 12 months a year, so thats why i have the suv's on there. my car has taken so many hits from sites i was hoping to get one. my price range on cars is about $40,000, but nothing too flasshy (thats why there's no is300). on suv's i can push $60,000. why the difference you ask, its a family business and my old man knows you cant get a half decent suv for under 50,000 but he knows i can get a car for under $40,000. and also it has to be a 4 dr, the wife would slaughter me if i came home with a 2 dr. and yes i would consider european and was thinking about an A4 or a Jetta as well.

oh and by the way i realy like the mazda's b/c they have the auto/manual tranny's in them, that way if i get that option i can still have a little fun and if she needs to the wife can still drive my car.

and for any one that is wondering this is the info i've got so far on my rides. keep in mind i am leasing them(36 mo.). all the rides will have a viper 690xv alarm installed. they will also have the new Pioneer AVIC-N1 deck installed.

Avalanche with 22" gianelle milos-6..... $4000 down, $450/month
Denali with 20" gianelle milos-6.....$6000 down, $580/month
Acura el with 18" konig holes(lowered on KW coils)...... $4000 down, $360/month
Matrix trd with 18" konig trouble(trd coils).....$3000 down, $380/month

thats all the prices i have so far..... and just to let you all know i did check out the is300, its $7500 and $590/month with no aftermarket toys installed, and the insurrance for that car is nuts.

and i wont bother with any suby's b/c they're leasing is ridiculous, for a WRX its $5000 down and like $600/month

fob, i'm making them put the rims on for me, i will not by my next car without having a sytem and rims put in the deal. the wife hates when i spend money on the car, and since its a compnay car (and its my dads cnd my company) she has no say how we spend the company $$$. i'm realy hooked on the 1.8T for the same reasons yo uare, and yes insurance is awful on the wrx. the only prob with vw is they wont do a stereo, but i'll tell them if i get a new car its that or i go elsewhere.

hey profurious

Getting them to include the rims and the stereo in the car price has tax advantages for your business. You can write off the cost of the car usually without any problems from the gov't, but if you put rims and stereo after, you would never be able to write that off.
