Default Best Car for around 12k...

Hey guys, i'm in the market for a new vehicle and I have around 12k to spend on it. Here are the requirements:

1) Four Door
2) Safe
3) Not American
4) Used
5) Moddable and NOT FWD
6)Not an E46 (Dashocker )

Thanks,
Elliott

PS: I want the car to be somewhat luxurious and nice inside. Handling/speed doesn't really matter to me because the car will be modded. I just want potential.

You pretty much described a 2 GS, but it looks like you already own one.

West Mercer Way...there's a huge thread in the 2GS section. I want to keep this thread dedicated to a new love

Tony- Yea I did! Thanks and I really liked that. I'm going to keep that in mind for sure.

Och: That sounds like a great idea! I'll def be looking into that one. I'm just not sure if it's going to be sporty enough for me...we'll see.

I know you had a GS but with your parameters there is nothing else that is as good imo. Get another GS!

What do you guys think about a 1LS? Just use it as a cruiser...dumped on some 19's. This is getting me thinking....
