    Buying car for $35k

    I have finally decided to buy a car for(or less) $35000. I was dead sure on Evo8 but wavered in my decision. Help me out!!
    Some points to consider :
    1) should be a good driver's car
    2) preferably new
    3) if used, then in low mileage
    thnx

    G35 is a great drivers car coupe or sedan-the 350Z is a little more spartian on the interior

    a slightly used 03/04 mustang SVT cobra, or a used vette 01-04 ZO6, both are good driver's cars, and 1 will get better gas mileage. there's people that have bought cobra's with less than 1000 miles for ~$28k, new for $32k or so. modding either can net ya 600+rwhp on stock block, but that depends if you want to do so.
