When I go back to America in another year or so, I'll need a car and figure $20k-$25k is realistic.
What are my needs? None, really but below are what I personally want/require.
It must be two doors and performance oriented, or at least classy.
It can be used or new, but I prefer higher-end cars so used is more likely.
It needs to be a daily driver.
It needs to be rear wheel drive.
Convertibles are always a nice option.
2 seats are also just fine.
Under 50k miles would be nice, but I could go ever so slightly higher for the right car at the right price with perfect maintenance records.
I've wanted a Z4 for as long as I can remember, so that's a definite option. I hadn't realized how far down E46 M3s had come in price, so that's also an option.
Other avenues would include
s2000
350Z
maybe 370Z by then
G35 coupe
non-M 3-series coupe
E36 M3 (...)
Audi TT
etc etc.
What route would you take?
