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

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. Last year I bought a black 911 Carrera S and now I know why anyone would want to waste that kind of money on a car.

Of course, I like driving fast and pissing my wife off and that car allows me to do both simultaneously. Would prefer the 4S but would still get black on black. It is just a different experience to drive and maybe the first vehicle in my life (I buy a lot of vehicles) that I like more and more as the days go by.

I would also probably test drive an Audi R8.

A $100k R8 would have to be pretty old, no?

Although classic cars aren't my thing, I can respect the guys that are saying they would buy a 1960s model and put a shite ton of money into restoring it.

However, the guys saying they would buy a Honda Civic and invest the rest should just GTFO of the thread

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

If you knew what you were doing, some cars at the auction are investments. About 8 years ago you could have bought an 87 grand national low miles for around 40-50k, now that car is fetching 85k+.

Hard to say. New R8 will be $160,000-$200,000 so I suspect you could get a 2-3 year old R8 with low miles for $90,000-$100,000.

I love the classic cars, but I've just never wanted one for some reason. I like all the features on newer cars and the handling/acceleration of the 911. Never been in an Audi but the R8 is interesting.

They just opened a Maclaren dealer here in Houston a year or so ago and I've been tempted to go by and look at them as well.

just checked.... 100k will get you a 2014 v8 or if you wanted the v10 gotta go with a 2011 model.... id probably opt for the 2014.

100k also can get you into a 2014 aston martin v8 vantage.

decisions decisions......

I'd pay off my current and pocket the rest.

Had a 68 Chevelle 398. Beautiful car.
