Lexus LX470
Audi A8L

I think I went over my budget...

 

I would split my 150 gizzle three ways:

30k Economical commuter: TSX
40k AWD family hauler: MDX
80k 911 C2, but I'm waiting to see what the next "NSX" looks/priced at.

 

Daily Driver: Mini Cooper S (custom built) $36,355
Weekend Racer: Corvette Z06 1LZ $72,520
For The Winter: Subaru Legacy 2.5GT spec.B $35,657

Leaves me about $5,000 for gas/insurance payments

 

911tt

 

hmm...

sell elise 40k
sell ML350 50k
sell sti 22k

buy used quattroporte 50k
buy used 360 modena 130k
buy used cheyenne turbo 50k
buy new sc elise 48k

 

You can't read, can you?

And your elise is not worth 40k

 

C6 Z06
09 CTS-V

997 GT3
E39 M5

R8
S2000 + Rotrex S/C

E92 M3
NSX + fun adders

just a few, but there are so many different ways....

 

put 10k into the tl and make that the dd
buy a e36 m3 as a fun car

save the rest for college and what not.

 

eat me!

 

E90 M3 and an S5 (both white).....

 

I don't know if I would purchase half of the cars listed simply because they depreciate so damn quickly. The one thing, however, is that; I'd agree that a BMW 5-series or 3-series would be a good purchase for the family car, although I'd recommend the 3-series, I'm not a fan of large vehicles (Yes, I know I drive an Accord, but I also think it's way to large and inefficient).

 

Hybrid Escalade with 30's...


















NOT! 09 CTS-V or 08 M5

 

Hmm tough question. I would probably either go


1- e90 M3, and
2- 2010 RS5

or

1- GT3, and
2- A4/S4

 

If I was as deranged as I am now here is what my list would look like:

2003 Acura TL-S A-Spec (Imported from Canada)
2001 Acura CL-S in PDG
2003 Acura CL-S6
2008 Acura TL-S 6MT
2009 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG

Now if I left out the Acura's it'd be as follows:
2007 Mercedes SL65

 

I saw a black one in downtown Dallas a few days ago.

 

I have a thread here somewhere, but I got to drive one this summer. Absolutely amazing car.

Oh, and I take back my first list. I would get a 2005 BMW M3 with HPF Stage 3 kit

 

I would that

 

One car: Aston Martin V8 Vantage

 

You would.

 

I think you're looking too much into this question... I'm sure most of us in here aren't going to drop $150k on a car (or two), tho I'm sure there are some people that can afford it... most of us can't... it's just one of those "what if..." questions... Remember, it's the internet...

 

A 2009 nissan GT-R (black on black) and i would just save the rest because a brake job on the GT-R cost 5k...

 

Viper Roadster. I guess I'd want a sensible comfy daily driver too, but I think I'd be too busy stuffing my oversized vibrating phallus enhancement into the nearest hedge.

Oh, and save the rest for gas. 8.4L V10, I'll need it.

 

2009 E90 M3 or Cayman S (I am VERY torn between these two)

2009 Honda Fit Sport w/ Nav

2009 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 Extended Cab

I'd be too happy with the above to get anything else. May be tempted to get a 1974 BMW 2002tii, unrestored.

 

Can we change your user name to "FanBoi"

 

How about just :ghey: and tasteless

 

 

Loaded Diesel Chevy Silverado 2500HD -$40k :water-s:
911 Turbo - $110k

 

ummmmm

oh, you're 17. you will become wiser with age

 

Great topic. If I had US$150k (C$160k) to frivolously spend on car(s),

1) Play car: 2009 GT-R ($85k if I can find one)

2) Practical vehicle / hauler: Infiniti M45x ($55k) ... you live in NY so you will see snow and feels pretty posh inside. Not as sporty as a 3-series, per se, but rather subdued driving experience.

That's what I'd probably do. Of course, that's before taxes ... and have $10k to spare for maintenance or investing in stocks like AIG ...

 

You know I would...and then, use the rest on either a used NSX or even a nice rocket car (i.e. Lancer Evolution, Elise, etc.)...

 

What's wrong with liking Acura's? You guys act as if I had said I'd go out and buy 75 Kia Rio's... FFS

 

Depends on my economic status per this example. At my current dismal salary I'd get a used Sonata V6 and used Santa Fe and cash out. But since we're having fun I'd do a combination of a sports car for weekends, fun daily driver for me to get through traffic with the quickness, and a big SUV to haul the family and large items which my wife will drive daily. I can't give exact names as I'd test drive and research the hell out of it but my mood right now is:

335i $50k
Escalade ESV $65k
Used C6 Vette $35

 

When you have the opportunity to drive different vehicles you'll understand. Acura is an entry level brand, and IMO, the new models are not as competitive as the old ones were. This question was for entertainment, to see what other members of this forum would do with a sizable sum of money to spend on cars, to dream. I don't mean this as an insult, but your "dream" was pretty bland. Acura's, in particular modern Acura's just don't offer the driving experience, technology or performance that their peers do and the older ones just can't keep up with cheaper modern cars in terms of performance or luxury, which leaves the brand at an awkward place.

 

I understand what you're saying, hence why there was a C63 in my first list. I've only ever driven six cars in the 2 years I've been driving, ranging from a Corolla to a SL65. Yeah, the SL65 is the fastest car I've driven by a long shot, and chances are I'll never realistically get to own one or drive one again for that matter. I'm sure given more time behind some more fun/tossable cars would change my perception, but I love the styling of the 2G and 3G TL, as well as the 2G CL, so that's why I chose those.

 

you're gonna either either have to have GM employee pricing or have a "in" with someone at a dealer if you want a LT 4X4 Duramax 25000 HD. cause it stickers like 55. trust me dad just got his new 09 1 ton Sierra 4 door 4x4 Duramax Diesel, plus he put Banks big hoss package on it again(like his old truck), dealer promises it will dyno about 500 wheel hp and 900 ft lbs of torque.
but with tax and the power kit installed ready to go it was 55 grand out the door. that's with employee pricing because we got connections with GM employees.

 

Huge sign across the street at the Chevy Dealership says Crew-Cab trucks 25% off MSRP...

Plus GM is currently running their Employee Pricing deal again

 

i don't know what single car i'd want that goes up to 150k. i don't think i've ever thought or desired owning a car that expensive.

so i'd split it between an S5 and a CTS-V.

 

yea, i'd agree with that.

 

An Audi R8 would also be nice!

 

acura's are poo
