Well, I believe its time for me to get rid of my current car. Things here and there are starting to pop for repair over the last year or so. It's a 2007 Pontiac G6 with 135K miles, and I want to sell it while I can still get a few stacks for it. And I do mean few.

This means that in the near future I will be looking for a new car. Looking in the $25-30K range. Open to either sedan or coupe body style. Also, open to different manufacturers....not a favorite of any in particular. However, I'm leaning towards Asian or European if possible.

Also, it doesn't need to be brand spanking new. Certified pre-owned is fine as long as its 2012 and up with low mileage.

Any suggestions?

Peace


***** UPDATE ***** UPDATE ***** UPDATE *****

I have picked the car. I decided to go with a 2012 Acura TSX.

The car is Certified Pre-Owned and was picked up with only 13K miles for about $23K. The car already had about 1.5 years left on the bumper to bumper warranty and about 5 years left on the powertrain. I decided to go with the extended warranty for peace of mind.

I tried posting my own pic, but it wouldn't load the image. So, I just posted this stock pic. It's the exact same car.

The car drives smooth and I really enjoy the red. It's the Special Edition, so I guess that means it comes with some extra bells and whistles.

I really like the car. I feel it has the look I wanted and was a good car at a good price.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions. They gave me alot of ideas to hold onto when shopping.

Peace

Just to add some qualifiers.

- Not a speed demon
Not too concerned with crazy speed or HP. I don't race, so being able to blow by dudes on the street or track is not my concern. Plus, I'd take a luxury feel/style over blow by speed.

- Gas mileage
Adequate gas mileage. Doesn't need to be a tree hugger but I don't want to need to fill up several times a week.

- Repair costs
This is the biggest one for me. Since I plan on getting a relatively new car, I plan to have a warranty. But I still don't want something that going to cost me an arm and leg every time I go to the shop down the line.

Peace

^^^Titanium might put him over $30k but good choice if otherwise. The hybrid joint might do since you're not big on HP.



A used 2013 Cadillac ats goes in that price range if you want something like that.

Honda accord coupe as well.

You can find a 14 Impala with the V6 in that range these days as well.
