The Pulaski is a nightmare. Known others who've been in accidents there and had cars totalled. Under 30K and a 5-speed? Passat, Maxima, Jetta VR6 (new ones are 201hp), WRX, Altima, A4 1.8T. Too bad the Mazda 6 isn't around til the end of the year, and the G35 isn't out yet with a stick. I'm partial to the A4, and you can get a Quattro 1.8T for close to $30k if you are easy on the options. Good luck and I hope it all works out.
