I went on a test drive last night.

Drove the viggen, it was a 2000 with 55k, Black 4-door. Nice car, but more like an old 900 than a 9000. A little narrow, decent back seat. Very easy to spin the tires. Over all I liked it but I wasnt wowed by it. Sat in an automatic aero (an 03). The 02 + plus areo seats are just about as nice as the Viggen seat. It was much roomier. I wish they had one to drive with a manual. They wanted 16,900 or 18300 if it was certified.
Then I went to the BMW dealer. I looked at a few 2001 325s. One was a sport pkg not certified, one was non sport but certified. Both had < 40k. They were both 25k. Nice, but small inside. I didnt drive, the lot was a sheet of ice. Wierd packaging like manual seats in some, no sun roofs in others. I thnk thay are too mcuh money, expesive to fix and not fast enought. Kinda wanted to drive. Said that could get me into a base 330 (04) for ~30k.

Then i went to Lexus. Looking for an 02 IS300 with a 5 speed, nothing used, but they showed me an 04. Sticker was 33 but he told me that I could get it around 29. I took it for a drive. I liked it allot. Smooth but not mushy. Nice drive train, very torquey, quiet, but some exh noise. Very nice car, confy heated seats, leater/suede seats that were awesome (memory seats!). Im really tempted. I still need to drive the aero, but If I could make it happen financailly.......

Looking to spend <25k, I would really like to drive an 02 Aero.
