[s-cars] New or nearly-new car purchase

[Theodore Chen]

he already thought of that (in private email).

funny you didn't mention the lancer evo.  a local dealer has
several of them on the lot, all leftover '03s, and is asking $27k
for them.  you could probably chew the price down a bit.

taka, i think you should decide what's more important to you of
the criteria you mentioned.  for example, you can probably get an
'03 mustang cobra in the price range you mentioned.  it's not going
to be that great in the corners (unless you do some modifications),
and the reliability won't be like a toyota, but it'll have more power
than anything else you can buy for that price.  it's supercharged and
probably underrated at 390 hp.  also has a lot of aftermarket support,
so you can easily bump the power to 500 hp if you're so inclined (and
your wallet allows).
