What should I get...

Currentily have a 2003 Lancer OZ Rally 5 spd. Bought it new, 3 years left to finance. 44000 miles on it now. I've been looking to upgrade. Want to stay within 15000 - 20000 price range with a turbo.

What would you recommend? Trade, sell, keep for a few years, ect...

If you want to stay within 15000-20000 and turbo i don't think there are too many choices. You can go used WRX, SRT-4, or if you want something older you can get a DSM? I'd say keep the OZ until you have a bigger budget and can get something like an EVO or STI. But that's my opinion.

Possibly used 03 Evo/STi (be wary tho--cars would have likely been abused)
WRX

I'd stay away from RX-7--pain in the *** to maintain the car
I've also heard Nissan 300ZX has some maintenance issues (mainly due to its age)

Gl with your shopping
