    would you be able to afford the gas on the suv?if not then go for the sedan.it'll save you on gas.

    Yeah, I plan on basically using one of the 2 paychecks I get each month to pay my expenses. Car payment, gas, insurance, cell phone, & other small items. Pretty much I get two $1,100 checks (after tax) each month. I'll put 1 in the bank & the other to pay every thing.

    Droop89, I'm willing to buy used as long as it's in "like new condition" with 10K miles or less.

    What's up guys... As some of you may know, I've been out of the car audio game for a while. I've been busy working & stuff and I'm about to start the police academy Jan 5th. I need to get a new car before Christmas. I was going to get a g37 sedan since it has a good amount of power, not too expensive, it's a good over-all car. I have to drive about 45miles (in total) from my house to the academy every day (m-f). My local dealer is offering $3k down & $350/monthly lease. However I've been wanting to get back into car audio for a while now. I really wanted an expedition or tahoe, not sure what to do though... I'll be making $17/hr while im in the academy & $22/hr as soon as I graduate (aug 09). If I got a SUV or car that I'm really going to customize, I obviously wanted to buy it (which is going to cost more monthly). Only problem with getting an SUV is I guess the gas (my family has had 2 expos before so we know how they are on gas). Like I said I'll be driving about 45miles daily mon-fri until I graduate. Once I graduate my station is 3miles away from my house. After a year of service they give me a take home car, so the gas issue will really only be a problem for about 2 years, not even, basically till I graduate since my station is close by.

    On top of all of this... I want to buy a house within 6 years from now. With that being said.. What do you guys suggest? Lease a sedan or buy an suv?

  10. If You Had A 2008 G35 Sedan...

    Like the title says.. If you had a G35 sedan.. what Mods would you do to it to make it really move?? Turbo, exhaust, etc...

    Really curious to see what every one here comes up with... I rather ask on a forum that people know what they are talking about than locally.

    I don't know that much about racing mods... so if you want to teach me or give me some suggestions hints etc go ahead. I'm always willing to learn something new!

  20. Time To Get A New Car & Don't Know What To Get!

    In late October it will be time for me to get a new car. I was looking for a fast,luxury sedan such as the Infiniti G 35. It doesn't cost THAT much compared to other cars. Chicks like it & it moves pretty good when you step on it. I already test drove it and liked how it handled. Other cars that have been brought up to my attention:

    Acura TL

    Acura TSX

    Infiniti M 35

    Lexus ES

    Some one told me to get an EVO but that's more for racing. I'm looking for some thing luxury that performs good, all around. Ex my moms BMW 525i tops out @ 155 mph. To hit 155 mph it takes FOREVER!!

    Yesterday I decided to go to a few of the local car dealers around here. One dealer that caught my attention (never expected it to) was the Chevrolet dealer. They had a red Corvette facing the street to catch every ones attention & it caught mine :spiteful: I did a little research and the Coupe equipped how I want it would come out to about $49,000. Monthly payments (leased) of $700.

    Here's the thing... I got 2 sides of the way I see things. One, im young making $17/hr. I'll be making $21/hr this time next year. This may be the only time I can drive a 2 seater or a corvette until I'm in my 40's or older because I do plan to get married in 5-6 yrs. Start my own family, have my own house etc.. Therefor I would have to cut down on expenses and worry about what's more important (my family).

    2nd thought I have to this is... It's just too much $$ for a car. So i don't know what to do. Majority of people tell me to go for it. But I'm trying to be realistic here & don't want finacial problems later on.

    As of right now I'm living w/my parents, brother & sister. I help out in any way I can (groceseries) or whatever they need I get to help out. Only thing I'm paying for right now is a cell phone lol & my insurance. So I don't have a ton of bills to pay.

    What would you do?
