New Car, $50K-60K
 

If you had a budget of between $50K-60K out the door...what car would you get? No kids, no weather concerns, leaning toward 4 seats, but 2 seats if it's cool enough.

lexus gs

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

can the 50-60k be used as a down payment instead?

in that case it would be a ferrari, otherwise it would be a ford escort and the extra would be used for hookers and beer.

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

Dodge Viper.

Corvette. I have always wanted one.

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

With that much I would go for space and luxury--Cad Escalade. Remember to save a little for the spinning rims [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Have always considered that. I dunno though. Definitely the cheapest horsepower available. SUV's were considered but I'm moving to Florida, so I don't know if that's the right approach, especially with no kids. When I lived in Buffalo, it was a much stronger tendency.

For godsake please buy something European that has brakes and can go around corners.

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

M3 is on the short list, but it's a little steep.

I live in South Florida near Ft. Lauderdale and rich Pemborke Pines is around the corner. You'll find Hummers and SUVs driving abound as much as the Beetle back in the day. They are everywhere. Just recently pulled up to a shopping plaza and counted SEVEN Different SUVs (the only cars leaving at that time) lined up at a red light exiting the plaza. I'm pretty sure this is a nation wide thing though.

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

I would never spend that much on a car. I'd tour Europe for 3 months and get a 350Z rag top when I got back.

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

Agreed, but just because a lot of people are retarded doesn't mean I need to be [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. I understand SUVs if you have a family or live in a place that snows as much as my hometown, but for a single guy it's pretty stupid.

You would be stupid to get that one now anyway wit the new aston looking one due soon.

I did nearly get one of these but around the 20k mark but the back seats were a waste of time.

For the op I would get a 5 Series BMW but I need the back seats.

Porsche Boxster S

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

Well I was going to suggest that, but people think the new one is ugly. I'm of mixed opinion on it.

I get what you're saying. I always thought the BMW M3 Sports series was a nice car to drive around in; also it's one hell of a chick magnet. Prices are like 45k-55k depending if you get convertible or not. Look it up if you haven't see it before.

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

IMO the Boxster is pretty prag.

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

My boss just bought an M5, so he can fit 4 blokes, and 4 sets of clubs in it? The mind honestly boggles, I guess if you play golf this is your car.

I have a Mustang GT right now. With $1500 of mods, I'm at 285 HP and 0-60 in roughly the same. For $25K less, lol.

I love the M5 and the M3. I'd love to end up with an M3, as I obviously can't afford the M5...but even the M3 is a bit pricey.

My mother owns a 330ci, and I've fallen in love with convertibles. So I might just have to save my money for the M3 vert.

Edit: Just looked at the M3 vert again on the website. Customized it modestly at $59,245. That is holding the #1 spot strongly right now. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to stop spending money for a while in order to be able to afford it.

I think a lot of the older clients dont like it, I have one and I think it is by far and away the best car I have ever had or driven, the looks have really grown on me as well and when it sits next to an old 5 series it just looks loads more modern and up to date.

I would love a new M5 pity I cant stretch to the £60-70k that it is though.

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

I just think the boxster is kinda lame.

I agree. I'm a fan of Porsche, but it just seems like the Boxster is overpriced and not overly attractive.

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

I quite the look of the new Cayman and it seems to be getting good reviews, probably too much for this proce bracket though.

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

Well you know i was looking at 911's and thinking they are way above, the Boxster was the only Porsche in his range. Would he want or could he afford a Lotus?

Mack

Re: New Car, $50K-60K
 

new vette, M3, or something in that general class. or shoot for a used car like an espirt, sl500, nsx, etc

I can't recall off the top of my head which one she has, but it's the convertible. ci, xi, whatever...it's a nice car. I enjoy driving it. Little light on the horsepower, but it's fun none-the-less.
