You have 20k to get a vehicle, used or new...

1999 Lexus GS400 or 2002 GS430.

300HP/315 LB FT V8, 0-60 in 5.8, Great ride quality, Toyota reliability.

EDIT: Guy above me beat me to it.
 
A Buick Grand National on maybe a used Corvette.

I wouldn't mind having a "fun car" in addition to my Chrysler.
That being said, I would have to park it outside in a parking lot, so probably a GN or a Vette wouldn't be the ideal for where I live. One of these days I'll sell my townhome and get something with a garage.
 
2003 Maxima and bank the other $5,000. But I'm in the market for a moderately quick, well equiped sedan that is reliable and won't set me back too much.
 
Buy something used for $5k. Then get some new paint and repairs if it needs it.

Liability insurance is cheap and so will your 0 a month car payment.

Meh, if someone offered me 0% financing, I'd be a fool not to take it and invest what I would have spent up front.

Cash flow != cost
 
1961-1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible in near perfect shape (20k will get you one close to show condition). It's got ten times the style and presence of anything on the roads today.

Kennedy didn't get shot in a Beamer, Merc, or Caddy.
 
20k cash, not in a loan? I'd buy some sort of hybrid vehicle, prolly 2007, not 100% sure which maker. Honda or Toyota, most likely.

If you're going used Maximas, it's hard to go wrong with the '01 20th Anniversary Edition, and you can pocket the rest...though I'll admit, I also like the look of the newer generation more.

I've been looking at Mazda3's myself.
 
a 2003 maxima SE... maybe with leathers.

only the 2003 (or the 1st half of 2004 i think) has the 3.5L VQ that's currently in almost all of the nissan lineup. 255bhp >>> 222bhp. honestly i really think the new altima looks a lot better than the gen4 maxima, but i think the maxima has better interior than the altima 3.5SE.
