If you had $100k to purchase a car, new or used, what would it be?

Let's say you won a Barrett/Jackson gift card for $100k or it could also be used at any new dealership.

What is you dream $100k (or less) car?

I'd try to find someone to buy the gift card for $75k and then purchase a $15-20k car with low miles and invest the rest of the money

I honestly can't think of a vehicle I'd ever spend $100k on unless it was an RV or something

Whatever I can sell to get the most money back. I'm in the "wtf am I going to do with a 100k car?" boat.

But since that isn't the point of the thread, and it's no fun, my pick would be....

The Weinermobile

Hmmmm

I'd say a restomod '65-68 camaro or mustang.

Or a 1987 Buick Grand National.....the GNX would be too pricey.

I know it's tired but I'd spend about $40k on a car, $20k on travel, $10k on a new bike, $10k on random shite my wife wants and $20k to get my backyard the way I want it.

A $100k car would be as lost on me as much as a $10k bike would be lost on most of you.

Would spend $7-8K on a used Honda Civic in good shape then invest $92,000.

I have about 7k wrapped up in two bikes right now. I still can't wrap my head around a 10k bike . I know they're out there and I see them all the time, but I just can't wrap my head around spending that much.

As far as a car, I'd be in a Land Cruiser. Would get me close enough to the 100k figure. I'm not a huge car nut, so this would be lost on me as well.

I'd wait until I could find a used Mercedes benz S coupe (the new body style). This would probably take a year or 2 as it's only been out a year and they are going for like $150k. It's absolutely the most beautiful car I've ever seen.

If I had to buy now, I'd go for a jaguar f type R. Sure there are better performance cars on the road, but probably the only better looking car is the one mentioned above.

Others I'd consider: Porsche Macan turbo, Audi s7, BMW X6

If it has to be a full spend, I'd say an RV for sure.

I would buy SEVERAL cars that cost around 20k each.

Every auction has driver quality cars that were not frame off restored. They don't show them on TV.

I would pick up several from this list:
1. A three or five window short bed american truck with a "three on the tree" shifter.
2. An early 70's muscle car. Off brand like a Javelin or something.
3. A late 60's British sports car like a TR6 or MGB with chrome bumpers.
4. A vintage Jeep CJ5-7 because the prices on Ford Bronco's are crazy right now.

I could drive any of these for a few years (parts are cheap and plentiful) and get ALL my money back when I get bored.

In 5-7 years, I would have 100k in cash and tons of memories.

You can get a Cayman GT4 with a few options for right under $100K. I would order one that's factory fresh, drive it a few thousand miles, then flip it. The market is so hot for that car right now that it's basically instant profit or at least break even. Then I would hopefully have the problem of buying a car for over $100K.
