Dont really care if a modded G6ET is quicker and cheaper..Ill take the left over warranty thanks!

Nice car but I wouldnt spend 50K on a car that will be worth 30K in 5 years time and 10K in 10 years time
need the value to go up ..not down

Me? My heart says SSV, but I bet I would go after a Territory Diesel AWD. One of the best SUVs around.

Or a 335I Bmw with tiptronic , leather etc , noice

[ebxr8240]

Sheesh I just spent that on a 9m motorhome..

[CAT600]

Be a baller.... go the 2003-2005 E55 AMG



Supercharged 5.5L
6/4 Piston brakes
0-100 in 4.5
1/4 in 12.6 (both the same as the GT-R spec)
Same era as B-series
Infinatley better build quality and interior features

Lap it for a couple of years, burn 8-10K max then trade up to a 2010-ish C63!

But seriously, you want ultimate reliability, efficiency and comfort?, go the Turbodiesel Territory

Daniel

[Nic85]

I don't think "Ultimate reliability" and "Territory" go together real well.

[CAT600]

I've owned 1 and my family had another 4 between them (family business, 2 x TTG, 1 x F6X and now 1 x TTD) had bugger all issues really

Daniel

[The Yeti]

Another 4WD duel cab diesel ute, that's the only thing I miss from my last job,

Granted it wasn't an off the shelf car with leather trim in dash GPS and all sorts of other stuff that made it a statesman in a colorado box

But it for me was perfect I could bring stuff home for my property and drive it to the directors meeting the next day, loved it. When I resign me contract in Jan I'll be getting something very similar, but I really like the current Ranger (ALOT) so it will probably based on that

[AC/DC]

New VW Passat

[chevypower]

New Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD.

[351fly]

A 1970 dodge challenger

[DANNO178]

If it had to be spent on a new car I would propably take the new gt , hard to beat that performance for dollar value . Secong hand I would not know where to start as there are so many bargains to be had there right now. I went on carsales fornthe first timenin a long time the other day after my brother showed me the price of some ferraris that seemed quite cheap. Go and look at the price of some old gt's , some bargains to be had .

[SXR6]

Cat600 is on the money, suprising? lol.

The F6X would be a wicked family hack! Prefered being in that than my aunt's Cayenne turbo.
As for the E55, my uncle has one. Its a missle. Spewing when he sold it to get another cayenne.

I'd still have a lil 4200GT mazza though.

Or take my FG GT and 50k and get a 10' Shelby GT500.

[capesy]

id buy a xy gs like this

Oh yeh! In that case a Wild violet XA GT! Even a rep.

[TC200six]

FPV FGI GS with the Boss 315. Why? Looks like a normal Falcon XR, but with more power and without the extravagant styling of a GT/F6.

[Nova 8]

i bought a SSV - manual in alto grey

[Streets]

XB coupe, wanted one for a long time. I'd have to have enough left over to buy a bigger shed to put it in though...

[blueoval]

I dont have the room for a project car. But of late I have been into the semi luxury market and would really love to be in one of these on a daily basis.

[TheSneakiness]

Ummmm...

I'm spoilt for choice.

I would try and get hold of a AUIII XR8 and depending on condition spend the money to bring back to glory and mod it after that.

[Mr Hardware]

I cannot believe that no-one has said G6ET.

That's my vote.

That's because if you wait 2 years the car will be worth half the price and in effect you'll be saving 25k.

[FacultY]

It would have to be brand new as ive never owned a new car and a v8. So i would try to get a GS for that price, if not id settle with a ssv.

[JG34JA]

non depreciating:
XW-XY GS Fairmont 302 V8, mmmmm
ZC Fairlane 351, mmmmm
T3 TS50
AUIII XR8 + change

depreciating & newer:
Territory AWD diesel, great value & our 2007 has been flawless
Subaru Outback 3.6R demo
2013 midsize Jag (dreaming)
L322 Range Rover + money to fix it

[dimka100]

Ho about 50K worth of Google shares? then in 3 years upgrade them to say a new C63?
