If you want to live large, go with an Infiniti, BMW, Audi.
If you want cheap and fast how about a Cobalt SS supercharged.
Or, If you want character - How about an older (late 80s) Mercedes E, or S-class Mercedes.

get a 91 corolla. Super nice car.

"actually worth buying as a 20 year student ?"... not a 2GS if you dont have the funds to maintain it well without halfarsing stuff... just saying.

lmao...i love my gs now . i'm feeling like it's getting old now, so this spring/summer i'm thinking about getting into something different. I was thinking about a 350z or s14..but the 240 conversion....maintaining the gs isnt a problem.

How about a Cadillac CTS-V... I know someone who's got one for sale in Houston, TX that's been tastefully modded for an octane sucking 20sumthin...
