Have $75,000 to spend? Which car? - Page 4

**TUF_302** · 07-12-2010, 04:58 PM

A S/C GT for sure!, nothing compares if you ask me!, and I ain't even driven one!

XESP351 · 07-12-2010, 10:09 PM

I voted GT. I would never buy Euro unless i was well off enough to pay for service/maintenance/parts for it, and that is even more so for old Euros, the Rex is too rice for me, the SRT8 looks nice but quality is suspect and i would never, ever spend money on a HSV. I think that covers all on the list, except the F6......Nah i still want a GT....

If servicing and maintenance were no issue i'd go the AMG, Merc is my second favorite car brand.

Edit: And resale on the GT wouldn't bother me as i would NEVER sell it.

Id happily draw 2 more doors in grey lead on a 370z

Glad you narrowed it down!

M3 has 2 doors ..... cant fit the grandkids in .... grandkids ..... bloody hell ...... should just buy a Camry and wither away!

JC · 08-12-2010, 12:00 AM

E55, followed by SRT-8 then Audi, then the GT.

If the choice was anything holden vs anything ford, then the GT would be first pick (or maybe the SS-V sportswagon???).

Deco28 · 08-12-2010, 01:11 AM

Alfa Guiletta is another possibility. Something different..

1.4 t Multiair, or if it fits in price range the 175kw version.

you can now get 4 door m3's but they look rubbish

Fev · 08-12-2010, 08:51 AM

Either the GT335 or the STI - Completely different cars but i'd love either one

Really? I think they look great - More like a super sporty sedan. I like it better than the coupe

wicksy · 08-12-2010, 08:58 AM

a 300c out of that list, but i would rather a HG GTS monaro

yes they are but im right!

just looks too 318i for my likeing.

**data_mine** · 08-12-2010, 03:39 PM

And only the coupes get the carbon roof. They are the pick of the litter.

TZENU · 08-12-2010, 03:52 PM

Heart says GT, but would settle for an E55... What are the BMW 335's worth now???

290v · 08-12-2010, 03:57 PM

GS then throw a tune into it same engine as the GT

mrbaxr6t · 08-12-2010, 04:02 PM

hrrmph! nice video, honestly if you get AWD and distribute the power between the front and the rear (or tune the AWD system) to the track on which you are driving I believe it will be faster, I am positive that somwhere there would be a track where that audi would eat the other two RWD cars and it wasn't THAT far behind... I still think AWD is brilliant provided it is tuned properly aseen the gallardos tail sliding on top gear? those are AWD...

Cheese3 · 08-12-2010, 04:10 PM

I know the limit is 75k but e60 M5 BMW are coming down closer to that bracket! 85k I've seen the cheapest!

I couldn't say no to a v10 M5

aussie muscle · 08-12-2010, 04:24 PM

Now that i think of it, 75grand is a lot for what is essentially a Falcon.

Yellow_Festiva · 08-12-2010, 07:34 PM

I voted the XF because its new and I like the look of it... (however 4 star crash rating is a bloody shame!)

Having said that... a close 2nd would have been the 2005 MERCEDES CLS500.. IMO a car that ooozes class and opulence and the 3rd position would go to the 2010 MERCEDES C200 MY10 CLASSIC.. love its muscular stance and front end

Very hard to choose!

Penfolds Audi Burwood have one of these babies out the front at the moment advertised at $72K

Call me a fanboy but this car is everything I could want for that sort of money

Audi TT S

200kW AWD, small coupe. Lovely.

As far as 2 doors go they would be my pick. Have loved them since they came out and its always a good sign when they design things right the first time ...... minimal changes over the years and they still look fresh

Teacher ....... But one that enjoys things with Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Prada .... what ever that costs more just because of it ....... why do you think the discussion (argument) came up about buying "Just another Falcon!"

Oh by the way ...... I won

but when you think about it a 4 star rating in a jag is alot better then a 5 star rating in a fiat 500.
they really need to change the ratings to something with a broader range

sorry for the off topic
