Most wanted car for 300K

[MercuryT]

Hi FF.
Had laughs at much lower levels so let's up the ante.

MUST be new.

No Classics we all love as that confuses things.

I note a HSV for 240 thousand!!

ps; I'll take the Bentley not the Commodore thanks

[MercuryT]

Hmmmm......

[MercuryT]

Lots of cool cars at that price.

A Porsche high spec ok.

DoCarSales limited search.

Cool cars there plenty

[MercuryT]

Still find it amusing a Done up Commo in same breath as a Bentley?

[.:4:.]

Hmmmm. If 300k was in my daily acount and sustained, id be more leaning towards a big *** boat. Yeah a walk on mooring at a nice marina costs a bucket. But if it was a car, a new one, i dont mind the amg gt things. 300k it would probably need options.

[Giant Cranium]

911 Carreras s. Manual.

Let me have one with 3000km and I’ll take a 991.2 gt3



Or a e63

I'm quite partial to the new BMW 7 series:

This is povvo spec model, I'd prefer something with more muscle under the hood but unfortunately with $300K its slim pickings with 7 series, the good stuff is on the wrong end of $400K

I look forward to buying one in 2045 for $2000

Street legal Greens-tuf XE. No stickers or advertising.

I'd update from my current Jaguar XF to one of these babys.

Not just a Ford place but that price for a Commodore with extras I is insane.

I'm a Wagon guy got my Dogs.

What's best wagon at that money? I suspect RS4 closest to it

Here's the dog carrier, mind you I'd be holding them in one place with a harness just in case you might be tempted to blow the cobwebs off.

Quite a difficult price point actually. $150k short to get into a Ferrari / Lamborghini / McLaren.

For $300k and having to be new, I think I'd go (in order of preference):
E63 AMG
Nissan GTR (Nismo?)
Maserati Granturismo
Audi RS5
Camaro ZL1
M5
KTM X-Bow

[roKWiz]

Damn, looks like I'm out, again.
My tastes are for much bigger and more expensive.

[Mulva]

Can you list some magazine times for $300k vehicles?

I mean I could pick something based on my personal preferences and the real-world experience of owners, but everyone knows it is the time recorded by a magazine nearly 20 years ago that counts most when making a decision like this.

Nice list!.......

Have no idea what a KTM X-Bow is so Google time!

I did forget the GranTurismo. I have a soft spot for Maseratis, not sure why.

[Mr Brooksy]

Jaguar F type
Jaguar XJR
Maserati GranTurismo
Maserati Quattroporte
Maybe an BMW M5

I'd prefer a barely used Aston though

[Big_Daz]

Easy one for me... AMG E63S Merc.... Good for Business (Daily/family car) and pleasure...

Otherwise ZL1 Camaro with a Range Rover Sport for the Wife

[Syndrome]

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4

[MercuryT]

Love the car but colour not cool for me.

I'm extremely biased so ignore.

Black with coloured calipers and tasteful markings.

Same if Reverse Red

[MercuryT]

Ok.

People probable don't believe me and that's fine.

Me mates Dad has a Porsche something (he's a ********) and bought a near 500K Porsche.

In between him talking about his business and solariums, he said a GT3 or similar.

Not sure if same car but yeah, I'd rather talk to a genuine Taxi owner than him.

I prefer the Audi - all Porsches look the same.

That is what people want and has been a successful business model for Porsche. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

[MercuryT]

I dont agree.

Ford left me us down badly.

No wonder finished.

[MercuryT]

Have you researched Europe?

They have the vehicles I have, Rangers who really are just a school run in cool wagons.

It's not a surprise other countries not as stupid as us to buy one.

Tradies love them. Says it all as not an intelligent type.

Yes I agree.

Still.

Porsches don't have an y wow factor
