If you had to buy a car that has a base MSRP of 25-26k, but you had to leave it completely bone STOCK, what would it be? I am in this situation right now, and it will be my only car, and not one thing can be touched on it. Whare would you guys get?

EDIT: It has to be brand spanking new from the dealership.

Would it have to be brand new? If not, I'd definitely get a used BMW or IS300

Get something with some muscle, say a Camaro SS? That would be fun stock and not even cost that much. lol

Didn't mention that part...

SRT-4 with Stage 1 and 2 should be still under $26k...

Yes, because my parents are tired of me modding cars, which is why they are making me sell this one. They say I cannot touch a thing. This is all stemming from the people I ordered my new motor from dicking me around, which just pisses off my whole family, etc.

Talk them into a few more thousand and get an S2000. You might be able to find a carry over for 26-27k and I can promise you it will be the most fun car you can buy for that price. I didn't say it would be the fastest in a straight line, but you will have more fun driving that than any other car even near that price. The only people that will tell you otherwise have little to no experiance with one and have definantly never owned one. I would say "Trust me", but you don't even know me... Fuck it, TRUST ME!

Haha, TRUST ME, that I wanted an S2k like none other, and if I could swing one, I would in a heartbeat.
