I doubt a lot of people here will agree with my suggestions as I've seen a lot of ceg'ers bash the Maximas but I would look at one. You should be able to pick up a '00 or '01 Maxima around your price range and get power, room, good looks IMO and reliability. Or a Mistsu Galant (GZT I think it is) 6 cylinder '02 and 03 models should be in your price range but I don't know a whole lot about their reliablilty. Also for Mistu's you might be able to grab a '00 or possibly '01 Diamante, sweet looking cars if you ask me with nice power and lots of interior goodies. Even though I don't really like them you might check out the Dodge Intrepid or a Taurus even.

I hate the looks of the Malibus personally so if it were me I wouldn't even consider one. You could easily grab a CSVT for under your price range if you can find one in your area though. Or you could buy a non svt and put the extra cash into modding it up. Anyway, hope some of those sugestions help but while you decide you can check any number of websites to get ideas on what cars and prices are available in your area. Try www.autotrader.com or www.autosbytel.com and maybe you can get some better ideas from there.
