I've decided to just go with the 04-05 STi since its a newer year, and plus I always wanted one for a DD
E30 are not my style
i like the e36 more.
akapaco: the 2nd gen supras are not really my style i saw the interior of it and just
i wish i could two cars but right now its not ideal.

Brake rotor STI $486.47each
I would spend the money on the SC, i am not sure if you will be getting an Auto loan but car payement SUcKS..
GL on whatever you decide to do.

Where does a 19 year old get all this money?!!?
I'd probably go with the STI, but the M3 is a close second. 120k miles is high but it could be worse. You can get up to 130mph pretty quickly in one of thems, heh heh. Although I think quickGS300 brings up a good point about the maintenance costs.
When you say about $500 for a rotor do you just mean one? Aren't our rotors like 50 a piece?

Before you pull the trigger do some research on the stI, alot of engine issues i work with these cars all day everyday...Valve cover gaskets, cat converter, short block, cylinder heads with bend valves,headgaskets, brake pad and rotors are expensive as crap lol , if you go out of warranty it's not cheap to maintain them same goes with the BMW M3.
Brakes pad STI $341.94
Brake rotor STI $486.47each
I would spend the money on the SC, i am not sure if you will be getting an Auto loan but car payement SUcKS..

I would spend more on the SC but it doesn't hold its value as much as the STi.

Hmm well some of my money come from fiancial aid, and i flip a lot of stuff so that keeps the money flowing. I believe i have better spending control than most people. Buy what i need, not only what i want.
Well buying anything OEM will be retardedly expensive. Thats why we buy aftermarket stuff such as R1rotors for our LS400 bbk

I'm in the same situation right now with my SC. I think it's one of the best looking cars out there when done right, but the performance doesn't match the looks lol.
I'm actually looking at getting a 02-03 Maxima. They have the 3.5 v6, and are lighter and cheaper than the g35's. 0-60 in 6 sec, and still gets low 20 mpg around town, not too bad.
Down the road I wouldn't mind picking up a turbo SC project, but that wouldn't be for a while.
