IF u had $ us 140,000 - what car would u buy ?

[amanthapar]

hey guys given 140k usd ..
what car will u buy ...

for me i was thinking of buying a nissan skyline (r34) and modifying it so it costs somewhere between 100k and thats enuf to get it to 1000bhp!!
and NOS, cool accessories , subs, etcetc fast and furious type..

[deth]

fast and furious type eh?

i'd prolly go w/ a GT3, but an amv8 might be nice

[kawa22]

140000 us$ are 108000€ not more for buy a great car....Gt3,m3 csl or E55amg

[DMbaseball1604]

I'd get a 911 Turbo..a used one with around 3,000 miles then do some upgrades

[kawa22]

i forgot the optionals.....
http://hkmassimo26.supereva.it/aleshaoreskovich/55.jpg
:D

[RC45]

For 140K - hhmmm... simple really, an SL55/65... :)

[skituner]

I would either buy a M5 and tune it. or i would buy a mini cooper s and a saab 93 and tune them both

[Chaos in 1983!]

best looking car in the world...Ferrari 355gts...

[No.1]

I would buy a S600L Merc - get some chromes, some tints and some mega ICE and roll those streets like a PIMP!

http://www.89accord.com/lorenzo1.jpg

like these Lorenzos... only BIGGER! :twisted:

[5vz-fe]

Hartge H50 ................... if there's money left, I'll send it on hotel money (hope u know what I mean :mrgreen: )

[Fleischmann]

I'd get the Aston Maertin AMV8. As far as I know, the cheapest version will cost below 100k's...anybody now when it's going into production ??

[Garretts_turbo]

i couldnt buy just one!!
first off, an EVO 8 would be in order along with some upgrades (sound, a vishnu stage i performance package). after that, a '68 Dodge Charger R/T and a Dodge SRT4

[batmanishere]

Honestly I would buy a BMW M3 with sunroof or the porshce 911 convertible. First this bad boy has to move, second it has to be smooth when it moves and third it has to let in the sun.

[nchs09]

id probably get a countach! i love the car... i want one!!!!

[black_magician]

I'd get a ferrari 355 spider :D

[PATo355]

360 spyder prolly , but the Gallardo at euro 117000 is not a bad choice ....

[Chingachgook]

TVR T350 or the Porsche GT3

[oscargarza88]

i would get more than 1:
ferrari 355- around 70,000 weekend car
wrx sti- 30,000 * 1 day this and one day the mustang
mustang boss 302- around 20,000

[Zonda11]

best looking car in the world...Ferrari 355gts...

Have to agree

[hemi_fan]

id buy a Ford GT in a heartbeat.

[altezza]

Porsche GT3 or SL55 AMG

[enigmatic]

i dont think US$140k will get you an SL55.. well, atleast not a new one! :?

for me, an M3 in a heartbeat.
and spend the change on performance.

or maybe this little beast (http://members.iinet.net.au/~talywine/julians/DSC02731.JPG).. but it might be pushing the budget a little.. :lol:

[robruf]

It all depends on where you live and how long each day you are going to be spending in traffic? If this is just a weekend sports car, I would say get a GT3 or even a used 996TT. But for everyday driving I think that the new SL600 would probably be the car to get.

[GT-R_R34]

i would go for the GT3 or the M3 CSL.

[Garretts_turbo]

hmm, i guess if i had to choose just one car it would have to be an AMG coupe of some sort. SL55 most likely. black. big wheels.
damnit! now im starting to drool again....

[ported_head]

BMW M3 CSL...all you ever need.

on second thoughts...maybe a Ford GT and a BMW E30 M3

how much is a 140k anyways.

[levensnevel]

TVR Sagaris

[amanthapar]

BMW M3 CSL...all you ever need.

on second thoughts...maybe a Ford GT and a BMW E30 M3

ummm fuck man u loser, without knowing how much it is dont tell me what car u want cos u might change ur mind... u can buy 2 ms csl with that money retard!!!!!!

[Leo_M3]

BMW E46 M3 and a second hand BMW E38 750il Sport Individual 8)

[enigmatic]

BMW M3 CSL...all you ever need.
riight.. so you'll never need air conditioning, a decent stereo, or the ability to drive in the wet?

i'd be happy with a 'normal' M3 with a few mods.. at least i could drive home comfortably after a long day at the track 8)

[sads]

gt3 with a few hundred kms (let them run it in) then................. its upgrade time :!:

[nejcdolinsek]

A manual Red/Tan 360 Modena, with red brake callipers and scuderia shields.

Give ma an extra 100k and I'd buy the 575m in a heartbeat.

[abarth]

A used 355 spider with manual gear-box.A GT3. Or a fantastic purple diablo se30

[®™▪▪Å�чÑ�ίÂ]

I dont Know wether 140,000 dollars is more than 100,000 pounds in uk cureency, but im sure it is, so id would have to be the new Ford GT, 500bhp, 200mph COOL :mrgreen:

[®™▪▪Å�чÑ�ίÂ]

TVR Sagaris

That Car Looks Rough

http://www.pistonheads.com/uploads/galleries/9-1319.jpg

[bmwfreak]

I'd get an M3 CSL. That oughta do the trick. Must get one before i get too old and the suspension kills me.

[Sp00ln]

How much does the new AM Vantage cost? :P

[ported_head]

ummm fuck man u loser, without knowing how much it is dont tell me what car u want cos u might change ur mind... u can buy 2 ms csl with that money retard!!!!!!



your the retard... stop posting fantasy questions... would have been a valid question if you had that much money..chances that you do are nil... considering where you live.... your the sort of fucking retard who puts indians to shame man...
go fuck yourself with a splintered baseball bat..
i owe that one to geekdiggy.

and what the fuck would i do with 2 m3 csl's? time to get a refill on the grey matter.
whats your next question? come back in ten days..and then ask people what they would want to buy with $ 150k? once your done with all the denominations..maybe i can expect a better post. jackass.


riight.. so you'll never need air conditioning, a decent stereo, or the ability to drive in the wet?


no i wouldn't..in fact i do drive around without airconditiong... and if would be buying an m3 to listen to the harmann kardon system in it...i wouldn't be the loser.
the m3 has something called an inline 6..incase you haven't heard one yet...just assuming you were to busy using your ICE.

[RC45]

i dont think US$140k will get you an SL55.. well, atleast not a new one! :?



An SL55 is $120,770 - MSRP - but this last time when we looked around the SL55's arrived with about $2,000 discount - so you could find unsold units (and their are unsold units) on the floor for $119,000ish invoice.

[pranesh76]

I would get a 911 turbo. No question about it. Huge air intake! :D and that power with all wheel drive! Who could ask for more?

[T-Bird]

HUMMER with light bars and flood lights etc... Oh and about 2 months worth of gas :lol:

PS: not the PUSSY ass H2 wannabe

[enigmatic]

An SL55 is $120,770 - MSRP - but this last time when we looked around the SL55's arrived with about $2,000 discount - so you could find unsold units (and their are unsold units) on the floor for $119,000ish invoice.
whoop! my mistake.
thanks for the correction.
according to xe.com..
140,000.00 USD United States Dollars = 181,231.89 AUD Australia Dollars
down here, an SL55 is AU$372,900+onroads. ignore us Aussie's, we're totally out of whack! :oops:

BMW M3 CSL...all you ever need.
no i wouldn't..in fact i do drive around without airconditiong... and if would be buying an m3 to listen to the harmann kardon system in it...i wouldn't be the loser.

ugghhhh... :roll:
firstly, i never called you a loser, or anything of the sort..
secondly, you did say all you ever need, which probably isn't true for most of us who will be, atleast occasionally, faced with wet weather. and most will want a radio if this is the only car we are ever going to be driving..
and lastly, air conditioning would be a necessity for alot of us in our everyday cars.

i really can't be bothered -- but your unintelligent assumtions just annoy me to no end.
for the record, i have heard bmw's inline 6, many times infact. hell, i've driven them too. and i don't have any rich-kids-cool-civic 'ICE' to play with, nor do i want any.
now quit reading Maddox, and lets carry on with the car lovin'..

[lambo4levi]

I personally would look for a Lambo..... But i guess i wouldnt find a very good one in that price range :cry: .. meh I would sooo go out and buy a SRT-10 Viper or a Vanquish(if thats how its spelt) :twisted:

[jpatino03]

id buy a Ford GT in a heartbeat.

I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one. The car offers so much performance for the money. Not to mention the heritage.

[possessed_beaver]

ported_head, stop taking stuff enigmatic says out of context!

i agree with enigmatic, you need a car with airconditing, tyers that have traction in all weather conditions. and a radio woulden't hurt either

but on the otherhand.. thanks ported_head for introducint us to something called a "inline 6" none of us here had ever heard of one!! - very informative of you indeed!

and maybee if i continue to read maddox i like you ported head will be able to think of some "origional" (SIC) sayings

[amanthapar]

enigmatic.....
hmmm... ported head.... oh man i dont know whats an inline 6 ....LOL

[amanthapar]

ohh and ported head,

yeah as a matter of fact my family can afford a 140K car...
but wait a minute in ur first post u didnt even know how much is that ... lol..
okay..!

theres no point arguing man .. i read what ppl have said abt u and really instead of making rude , racist comments , we here to love cars!
oh and no offense but i dont know abt u , AIR CON is essential... do u live on nitrous?

and FOR THE REST OF U GUYS, do me a favour and just read every comment ported head has submitted in these 3 pages of discussion and say something/comment.

[HeilSvenska]

355 Berlinetta, not spyder, not GTS...but a proper hard top for a proper Ferrari.

not Porsches, too many Porsches in lower Southern California...

can't buy 360 coupe or spyder with 140000 US$

Oooooooh but you can buy old
Ferrari 512M,
Ferrari 456GT, not 456M GT
Ferrari 550 Maranello!!!!!!!!! (probably the earlier ones)

and you CAN get pre-1995 Diablos for about 140000!!!!
1991 Lamborghini Diablo SE 30
Custom built for Malcom Forbes
Price: $108,000 - US Dollars

1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE 30
Excellent condition and ready to show.
Price: $144,500 - US Dollars

[ported_head]

now now...i wouldn't be here if i wasn't passionate about cars...and why would you want people to comment on what i have said... wouldn't you rather have them comment on your question. i got nothing against nobody... when you start calling me a retard..then i do. though i really doubt that's possible.... even though i might not be any good at witty comebacks... thats hardly an indication.

an i may not need air con..not even a radio...and that is really my opinion ..thats what forums are all about...but im sure you people already know that. and yup..i also do not need a radio if i do happen to own something like a M3 CSL. maybe im a purist..an idealist to the core..but then that's just me.

i dont also live on nitrous..just a component of it...called oxygen... but the you know that too... somehow you were oblivious to that fact.. if you were trying to be a smartass... i dont think it really caught on.

if you don't like the way somebody thinks..ignore it..thats what i do... doesn't really help making it personal...starting a flame thread.. and wasting people's time reading crap.

and think twice before calling somebody a retard.

[amanthapar]

k man
just next time ...
before making a statment make sure what ur talking abt
( abt the fact that u didnt know how much 140k was.. )
i cracked up dude.. sorry,... i respect ur opinion but its the stupidity sometimes that anooyes me ... thats the way i am ..
chill ..

[amanthapar]

oh and nitrous ..... i was talking abt the cooling effect it has...!!!! in relation to the air con

[nthfinity]

id buy the F512m for the sole reason its the best car ever IMO... id spend the rest of the money to tune it into a street residing track car... track days are the best

[asthenia]

My car doesn't have A/C or a radio. But then, it's also 30 years old. And I can fit stuff in the back.

But back on topic, with $140k, I'd be getting a Boxster S and a Land Rover Discovery. Boring, eh?

[ported_head]

just for the record... i know exactly how much $ 140K is.... Rs.. 6405000 in my money. do try to convert that into yours... probably be a lot more than that.. coz i think that the Indian Rupee goes for more than the SL Rupee...but then again i could be wrong... but i do look forward to you giving me the facts.
and dude at age 18...you are a hell lot judgemental about people's stupidity issues..especially people you don't know.. i suggest you wait it out..till you get a little older

[ported_head]

oh and as far as cooling effect of nitrous oxide goes..i do know about that... but im sure that you also know that it contributes to global warming.. ah well.

[nthfinity]

oh and as far as cooling effect of nitrous oxide goes..i do know about that... but im sure that you also know that it contributes to global warming.. ah well.
last time i checked, Nitrous oxide doesnt create any more greenhouse gasses, such as c02, and 0 3 any more then 0 2 does
thus All cars pollute
:D

[dutchmasterflex]

140k just to buy a car? hmm.. I'd definately import a BMW CSL straight from germany over to the U.S. :)

[ported_head]

last time i checked, Nitrous oxide doesnt create any more greenhouse gasses, such as c02, and 0 3 any more then 0 2 does

i beg to differ... Nitrous oxide does contribute to the greenhouse effect.. not adversely..but to the extent of about 5%.

time you updated your facts dude. :)

[amanthapar]

hey ported head,
same applies to u ur 20 , not much difference eh?
oh and about the nitrous oxide global warming, i was using it as a figure of speech not literally ..lol...who cares about global warming
i know india is really dirty so u guys over there would tend to say something like that...wheres sri lanka isnt..
oh and im indian so dont come back saying i dont know anything...yeah ur figures are right now!

[RC45]

Ohhh - nice -- Regional Civil War brewing... *pull's up a chair*

This is gonna be good - *smile*

[ibetipsy]

i have to say either a 993 TURBO S or a 996TT X-50 i absolutely REFUSE to give up practicality for speed and these cars don't do that. HENCE i LOVE them. Plus the 400hp+ helps

[SPEEDKILLAR]

I would invest in some kinda of bussiness and the profit I would re-invest,
untill I got enough money to buy a lot of cars.
Mercedes CL 65 AMG: cruising machine
Mercedes G 55 AMG(new version) : rough terrain
A phat Porsche tuned by Tech Art: to blow my mind
and so one,...

I'll stop because the list will be endless :wink:

really doesn't matter to me dude...you could be the smartest lankan around..and it's as important as SL is to the rest of the world man. i got nothing to say to defend my country.. it sucks in some criterias..but totally kicks ass in others.
whereas SL on the map looks like something that India shat.

and really dude...i dont care how good your english is... the metaphors and the figures of speech.. and when you get out done...don't try to get out of it by being a smart ass.

and man..it's really surprising how you pathetic indians go to some other country and become patriotic. i would understand if it would be a first world country man...but come on..you go to SL which is in a worse state than India...and then actually come back and diss it. and the last time i checked the LTTE seemed more powerful then the SL army.

[RC45]

Cool - more civil war... haven't you guys been at each others throats for like 1000 years now? ;)

...just kill each other already...

[bmwfreak]

The Indians and Sri Lankans, i think, have never actually been in a war against each other, if my history is correct, although the LTTE and the Sri Lankan govt are indeed locked in a battle for...... i dont knwo what really...

LTTE want a separate independent state, and SL, obviously, dont.

Cant we just talk about cars, without flaming and adding to the fires here? You guys wanna argue about international/regional poilitics/inferiority complexes, PM one another.

Mind you, it does make for good reading. Oh heck, go on, burn the both of yous. (=

[yellow_rice]

i'd get a bunch of mini coopers and have each of them the color of M&M's and make them fast and have each one of my friends drive them and go on a road trip and race while we go and have BMW build me a mini cooper the size of a hummer. :D

run on sentences are fun.

ISNT REALLY HACKENYED NOWDAYS JUST TO MAKE UP LIES WHEN UR ARGUING ...
ported head im sick of u and me arguing really...

[cavallino]

I would get a 911 Turbo.

[ported_head]

no aman for the last time, im half as ignorant as you are.
im sick too man, because you can't even come up with a good argument. the only point you can actually stress is to call somebody a retard. you are pathetic man.

and the ceasefire was entered into on Feb 23, 2002. that was the part you didn't know ignoramus. and im just starting to figure out why LTTE hates indians.

[SamuraiGti]

a 355 berlinetta or a 355 spider.

and a lotus elise =)

[SPEEDKILLAR]

I would by a hunderd Smart's :wink:

[HeilSvenska]

me too !!!

[kteo2003]

i also would take more than 1 cars....
a ferrari F355 and a an evo 8 which i would transform into a race car....(like 2fast 2 furious)

[Akmon]

I'll surely buy a mazda rx-9+subaru impreza+old mustang

[WhiteP]

Porsche Carrera C4S with some tuning.. probably weight reduction

[®™▪▪Å�чÑ�ίÂ]

Well My first choice would have to be the GT40 but since less than 100 are ciomin to europe i dont think i would get 1, But since i live in britain, i would have to go with the TVR Tamora bcoz 350bhp at a curb weight of less than 1100kg for 35K, then with the rest of the money id modify it and since the Tamora doesnt have traction control, Airbags and ABS i guess id have to buy them

[zmydust823]

I would get a used porsche turbo, with maybe 3 or 4 thousand miles on it, then upgrade the turbos with gemballa tuning..creates a top speed of 215 mph and a 0-60 under 3.8

[Tomerville]

Amazing question. I'd get a Ford GT40 to eat up the horses, or maybe a 997 Turbo. If I lived in a different market, I'd mos def get either an RS6 Avant or an Evo FQ-330
