$15k to spend on a car...what to buy?

[95ZJ 10+ year member]

Looking for something relatively quick, I just don't know what I want. For awhile I had planned on picking up an 02 Mustang GT, but since I'm going off to college I was thinking I need something that gets pretty good gas mileage. So any suggestions from you guys?

Old school. Get something with a V-8 for around $5k and dump the other 10 in it.

mustangs are queer (the old mustangs were the best so no offense to anyone with anything under 1974). Get a real car with a real v-8.

BMW came to mind, but I couldn't afford an M3 while in college. Possibly when I get out, yes, but for now...not so much. As for my parents paying for gas, ha, I'm paying for college, car insurance, and the payments...highly doubt they'll cover gas.

To answer CornNuts question, I live in Temple but I'm going to school at Texas A&M.

90's 3000gt from japan, run you like 10k for a 99 was worth 50G and you can normally find them with 10-15k with bolt on parts, new seats, stearing wheels, seat blets, rubber ect.....

or a skyline same deal, same price maybe lookin at like 15k though, both cars have around 300 hp at the wheels, 4 wheel drive 3000gt is one of the fastest production cars stock, ever.

Honda Civic LX or EX. Best $15K you could spend on a reliable car. Did I also forget to mention all the aftermarket things you could do to that....yikes.
