What daily driver for under $18k?
I want to get rid of the RX300 that I am driving right now and replace it with something else. Preferably a smaller sedan to keep insurance down. I want to spend abot $18k at the max and it needs to have less than 60k miles. I have been looking at a few Lexus IS300s and am waiting on several emails to be replied. Do you guys have any other ideas?

The RSX has crossed my mind, but I really don't think it was be as practical for me. As for the Corolla, it would be a good gas saver, but I want something that's kind of entry level luxury.

civic si hatch is nice. you can get a new civic lx for about 155ish and 38mpg. A used s2ki with 50-60 k can be had for about that.... when your done turn it into a track car

I bought my '97 M3 sedan for about $18 w/54k miles a couple years ago. They're obviously selling for less now. I haven't needed to drop a penny into the car, but I've done some basic preventive maintenance on her. Gas milage has been about 25mpg while I've owned it. I've been very happy with this car.

I did just that, although a while ago. I traded in my s2k and got a loaded accord exv6 navi. The deal I got was insane and HAD to go for it. I got a 23,000 trade in (in 2003) and got the car for 25700.
Anyways, the accord is a great car and the 4cyls are great with gas mileage. In my area, you can get a stripper accord for 14k
