monthly costs on a new car. With a warranty, you're just stuck with routine maintenance and not all the other surprises.

With that said, perhaps a certified B5 S4 might fit the bill...but when that warranty is gone, plan on shopping for another car. Most likely, that will be in another 2 years...which is not a lot of time imho, if you're spending $25K.

I hate to say it, but I'm leaning towards a new car, even though an S4 would be so much more fun.

Then you can stay minivan free for a long time.

Oh and since you are getting married you cant complain that wagons dont get the ladies, because honestly you know they are hot.

I think Honda is paying you.

Since your not a hands on person I think the certified S4 will work out unless you have a really bad dealer near you. Lightly modded with chip/piggie pipes should not cause the dealer to refuse warranty. But then again it depends on the dealer.

i have driven an S4, they are fun, fun, fun. do you think that they are more mech. work then an A4? actually, never mind i think you helped me make my mind up for sure. ill hang on to the current A4 and buy a new one same thing only blk. and manual. put chips in both and maybe suspention and call it a day and like you said save the money for somethings else more important than a car. thank you. by the way im only 22yr old and greatful for your good advise!

I'd get the new car....and you can find the Legacy GT for MUCH less than 30k.
