If you had $2000 a month to spend on a car what would it be?

[turboman808]

Got a raise and started thinking about how I could best piss it away. For the record I am not going to. I could since I already live well below my means. Getting engaged, buying a house 2 new buisnesses, last thing I need to do right now is buy a exotic car or something else crazy like that.


But just out of curiosity what car would you guys buy if you had $2000 to make payments?

For me it would be either a V8 Vantage, Ultima GTR or a GT40 replica.

[amp]

wouldnt buy one to make payments.. id grab a project and spend the coin on that.. ground up resto..

if its just being blown away I'd buy V8 Vantage

[Yes SiR]

I'd buy a Challenger R/T Classic or a 135i.

[11secdsm]

Most definitely a TTG

[turboman808]

by the way my math is a bit off. It would be more like $2500 a month for a 911 turbo or vantage. But I can ignore that if you can LOL

that is a lease price right?

[RedDawg]

I'd buy a Challenger R/T Classic or a 135i.

if those cars cost you $2k/mo you must have a negative credit score

[RWDTurbo149]

i'd probably do a 135i and mod the piss out of it

or gtr

or a genesis =p

[JST2KWIK]

I would buy a used Gallardo and finance it. AWD for the snow, power for the street. I'd daily drive the **** out of it too leaving it caked in salt/dirt/mud, park it outside, paint the wheels pink, and try to put over 100k miles on it. THAT would be awesome

[SpEcRv9]

I'd probably rock a new M3, and save the rest.

[RedDawg]

used twin turboed NSX

[sleeper15]

i'd get a '05 Acura NSX or a Lexus IS-F

[russiankid]

E63 m6.

[Roto]

An EF sedan.

[jpalamar]

1. exotic (Ferrari 360 Spyder cause its sexy)

2. SUV (Saab 9-5 Aero when you just need the space)

3. car (new M5 for 4 doors when I don't want to drive the tank)

4. then project cars.

[Yes SiR]

if those cars cost you $2k/mo you must have a negative credit score

It depends how long you take out a loan for. The question was if you had an extra $2000/mo to put towards a car, what would it be. If I had an extra $2000/mo kicking around and had to buy a car, it would be one of those two.

How is a 9-5 Aero an SUV???

you'll need more money for maintenance. you'll say you'll DIY everything then see maintenance part costs.

Typo 9-7 Aero http://www.saabusa.com/saabjsp/97x/features/performance.jsp

[JST2KWIK]

Well with the economy I've seen used Gallardos going for as low as $80k so with the money left over, invest in Google and by the time the car breaks down, sell the stock, make your money, and fix it! :mrgreen: lol

[turboman808]

yeah exotic cars with 10k miles on them are going for about 80 grand.

The ACR doesn't drive for crap on the street.

[SovXietday]

TT NSX, with 500 a month alotted for new rear tires. :)

[cr8zyjap07]

i would prob go for a gallardo or a bentley gt so i can be a G. lol

solution:

http://static.racingjunk.com/63/ui/9/75/1766784164473-28-Enclosed-ShowRace-Car-Trailer.jpg

to take it to the track :)

[JST2KWIK]

track cars are fun but if I am shelling out 2gs a month for it, I want to drive the hell out of whatever car it is!

i've always loved the viper.

Save about 80k and buy one of the few, fully legalized R34 GTRs. That would be bliss for me. Maybe another Z32 TT also, I miss mine :o

saving 2k a month for 4 years might just be one of the hardest things to do in life lol but that's actually what i would do as well

[bl@ckvr4]

I would by a DSM every month.

[clay]

I would repair a DSM every month.

BS on the DBS and 599 for 2500 a month. Try 7500 a month with a 30k down payment if not more. U could deff get an old 550 maranello or a DB9 for 2500 tho.

[W_Evo]

Don't forget insurance thats at least another $500 a month on a car like that.

oh and I'd put an extra $2000 a month in my Evo if I could.

Ferrari 355

high five!, once that M3 I picked up would be paid off, it'd be 355 land for me!...My friends all make fun of me for wanting a mid 90s ferrari...they just don't understand the 355's place in my heart, they also just don't understand cars....

I've seen them go between 40-70 on ebay...mmmmm 355's

<---goes to play online poker to win a few dollars at a time toward one...

[SpEcRv9]

Don't forget insurance thats at least another $500 a month on a car like that.

**** a new STI for my 21 year old self (no tickets/accidents) after a quick quote is around 400 a month for insurance, I cant imagine a new M3 and F355 on the same bill :lol:

let alone some of the cars these people want to buy with 2k a month...

[FazdaGt]

^that is completely awesome.

i'd save for a while and pick up a 355. those of you with the same view on the 355, i like your style.

[SpEcRv9]

I'd love a gallardo like that, no care for the exterior just full on w/e....but I just couldn't live with myself if I was also paying for it, If I was a millionaire and it was like my 8th car, why not?

^that is completely awesome.

It's been my dream car since I saw it on the cover of dupont registry like 13 years ago lol.

[boostedmoose003]

an R8

[turboman808]

Well yeah nothing like a big ass house. Part of me wants to get a big ass mansion in 2 years but realistically I would never go into most of the house. Just give me a decent house with a giant 10 car garage with lift

Lol who said you had to buy it new?

Furthermore.... I must say....Those who have chosen the Ferrari 355 :thumbsup

haha

[Kir Diesel]

Either some crazy modded Supercharged/Boosted E92 M3 Coupe

Im not sure its too much but a brand new Porsche 911 GT3 RS would be awesome!!!!!

[ndubz]

Lol who said you had to buy it new?

Furthermore.... I must say....Those who have chosen the Ferrari 355 :thumbsup

haha

never said it had to be new. But 599s and DBSs are still in the mid 200s used at the lowest. deff not 2500/month territory without a huge down payment.

[sleeper15]

http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n116/tjedi1/DD.jpg

that ****s awesome

[ZX88]

bmw 1 series coupe 135i all bmw performanced out.

Didnt say he had to buy it. Just lease it.

[CleanNeon98]

I'd get a nice DD and use the rest to buy MSM Awesomeness parts

[fear_no_evo]

I'd probably rock a new M3, and save the rest.

http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/3946/84473397.jpg

i think im in love

[red24O]

i would save money and buy an na2 nsx and do a little work to it and a 240sx that would sit just the way i like it

[sean3]

GTR or ZR1. Assuming I already owned a nice house.

[probevette]

<<see AV

[JC Turbo]

CORVETTE Z06 ... **** the rest of that bull****... save rest of money.

[pinacup7]

ZR1 and an LX570

[92dxman]

I'd take that $2k a month and pay off my Yaris. Then, i'd probably buy a decent Miata for a few grand, tinker with it a bit and get a hardtop and throw the rest of the money in the bank..

[MANLYmiata]

ZR1, obviously.

[Honest_Bob]

I would be riding your mom around town and using the other $1999.50 to buy a house.

[gtx0227]

probably a Maserati....nicest riding car i ever been driven in

or buy a gt500kr and build it

EDIT: i cant spell for sh*t

[GHost240SX]

probably a mazaradi....nicest riding car i ever been driven in

or buy a gt500kr and build it

[RSX Type-Slow]

I would be riding your mom around town and using the other $1999.50 to buy a house.

my newest favorite person on TST.




but for realz, I'd have to go with a new M3 or M5. BMW's warranty is really FTW. Fully covered maintainence, oil changes, wiper blades. All you gotta pay for is gas, insurance, and tires.

Plus the new twin clutch tranny on the M3 SMG is balls out fast.

[97slocav]

1.03-04 cobra and mod the **** outta it
2 typhoon or sysclone and make that into a monster street truck
3 save for when stuff startes breaking

[den9]

keep my TDI for a beater

and choose between
2006 laguna seca blue M3 because i love inline 6's
a 2010 M3 because carbon fiber roofs are awesome
335d because 469 pounds of torque and 30 mpg diesel awesomeness
M5 because 500 hp sedans are sweet
993 porsche 911 turbo with the big ass spoiler
the ferrari 355 is sweet but it doesnt have a 4 year 50000 mile warranty that pays all the maintenance like the bmw

but i wouldnt ever spend 2 grand a month on a car unless i was making 200grand a year, after taxes. 2 grand will pay a mortgage on a half million dollar house, which wont depreciate like a car.

You'll still have some coin left over to mod and it can beat most cars out of the box.
