25k for the vo

So I was just offered 25k for my evo. It is an 06 w/ 10k and 390whp. (it is wrecked and repaired and has a key mark down the side of it) So now I'm lookin for a new car. I HAD a trade for an auto supra. But I decided that it wasn't in the shape i was looking for and i want something w/ less than 70k on it. Does anyone have any ideas on something to get? I want something that not everyone has that looks good and is responsive to mods. HA sounds like an evo, idk I'm just ready to look for something different. I was thinkin turbo 350..but it's a WAY pricey build. The car can be built already.. any ideas are appreciated. 30k limit

Get a 135i with steptronic. Mod for mod it is light years ahead of the 350Z and in similar category than the Evos as far is modding. Definately it would not dissapoint you.

It'd help if you specified how much you want to spend.

Take the 25k and run in this economy. Automatic Supras are not the deal. The autos arent as hearty as the getrag 6 and will typically **** the bed anything more than BPU. Personally I'd just by a 6 speed targa with 100k miles. Cash. With parts overnighted from Japan, this will decimate all.

I also like the 135i/335i. Im just waiting to see if the engine turns out to be as EPIC as some have claimed it will be.
