Default Let's make it trickier! 1 mil $ garage

I saw the 10 mil $ garage thread and I think that sum is kinda big, this way we can see better what cars people around here appreciate imo. The sum doesn't include maintenance/garage/whatever.
Here's mine:

Porsche CGT 450,000$
Corvette C6 Z06 $75,000
Audi S8 $100,000
Ferrari 575 $200,000
Porsche 911 Turbo $123,000
Lotus Exige S $57,000

It's 5000$ over budget, but if I had to, I'd drop the Lotus.

complete guesses as to car prices of cars not for sale anymore, and with a million € to spend

Land Rover Discovery 60.000
Mercedes CL600 215.000
Porsche 911 Targa S 145.000
Corvette Z06, project car 120.000
'67 porsche 911 S 80.000
budget for gf/wife's car 100.000
Total 720.000
so that's 280.000 remaining, lemme see lemme see... a house w/ garage would come in handy here

Discovery? and Targa S?

The Targa S is the worlds worst 911, and anyway, it's a 4S. JUst get a cabrio, they handle the same and the cab wont creak.

Audi S8 - Black
Audi R8 - White or Silver
Ferrari F40 - Red
Ferrari F430 Spider - Black/Black with a 6-speed.
996 C4S - Dark Blue

And I'm probably out of money now. I ball-park estimated the S8 and R8 at 100k, the F40 at 450k. If I could add another everyday driver I'd slap on an SLK 55 AMG because my girlfriend wants one.

:shock: :shock: :shock:
My own price estimation, as all the S8 sold in Norway are all around +/- 410.000,- and the RS6 is heavier and a lot more powerful, which gives much higher tax. The engine tax alone for 580hp is $150.000,- over German showroom

lol i just always liked the idea of the Targa, dunno if there are any practical issues with it...
Discovery: it seats 7 and i plan to have loads of kids plus it can go anywhere, which is useful for travelling across the estate that i will undoubtedly have if i can afford cars worth a million dollars
