If you had 100k to spend on a car(s)

Re: If you had 100k to spend on a car(s)

How to spot a guy that isn't working and has nothing better to do...



Just kidding Mike

Ryan

I found the following while shopping ebay:

a very nice 1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo on ebay for $17,200

a beautiful Chrome Orange Lotus Elise for $33,990

a very clean 1986 Porsche 944 for $18,000

That leaves about $30,800 so I can add on to the garage, pay for track time & tires for the Elise, etc.

#1-Acura NSX (prior to getting ugly in 2002) (~44 grand)
#2-Mazda Miata (~10 grand+8 grand in track oriented mods)
#3-Yamaha R6 (~8 grand)
#4-Toyota AE86 (~8 Grand
#5-2002 Honda Civic SI (~8 Grand commuter car

Remaining 14 grand: Gas and repairs and garage

The NSX would be my favorite...."It is like a ferrari, only it was designed by people that went to college"


This is a great post!

1. Restore the Roush to brand-new, showroom [pristine] condition and buy a car bubble for it (until I get a garage of course, then it goes in the bubble in the garage :P ).

2. Buy a Dodge SRT-4 Stage 3. Who wouldn't want a DD that does the 1/4 in the 11s and still gets great gas mileage?

3. Buy a Dodge SRT-8 Charger and a S/C to go with it.

4. Ummm, if I still have a bit, a Yamaha R6.

Solid front axle swap on my Jeep along with a super charged 4.7l. ~$25k

Rest would probably be spent on an Aston Martin.. Not sure which one.

Early 70's Olds Cutlass 442 rag top and I'm not even remotely a GM guy. Or a 69 1/2 ragtop 351 Mustang similar to the one sitting in a barn in Illinois. Of course I would have to modernize it in terms of toys-DVD, Sirrius/XM radio, GPS or similar nav system, ect.

A bit over the 100k mark, but an Audi R8, without hesitation!

2008 GMC 2500HD with a Duramax to tow the toys.
2008 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 for around town(I am NOT a Dodge or a Car guy but I think this is the sexiest vehicle on the road today)

That would leave about 10k to spend on a 2009 Arctic Cat F1000

Re: If you had 100k to spend on a car(s)

1. 2009 Dodge Ram (or one of Ram SRT-10s they made for a while) and while I don't need a truck, I would get one anyways. $45-50K with accessories
2. An Acura TL Type S, a nice sporty sedan that would be car guy cool and still functional. $40K
3. 1979 Buick Riveria or a 1991 Buick Regal, while you might think these are two random cars (they kinda are) when I was only about 5 my dad had a nice white Riveria and it was just a beast, while the 91 Regal was my first car back in probably 2001. I would make either one a project car and hopefully work toward restoring it slowly, since I don't really know much about cars, but I would learn.

Re: If you had 100k to spend on a car(s)

NSX and the rest of them on modifications : )

I didn't notice you talked about wanting a NSX before I did.

Excellent choice

Since I am 54 and 6'5" and about 290, you can guess I favor muscle cars. Thos tiny Triumphs, Lotus, etc are out for me.

1970 Pontiac Bonneville Conv. or GTO
1966 Dodge Charger
'60s-'70s Caddy Conv.

I should be able to get most of these for close to the 100K figure. Of course if you can see your way to increase the amount to 200K, I could be quite happy with an Aston Martin DB9 Slate Blue!
