Julian Nguyen
or a 4c and a cts v comfy boat with loads of power that looks baller as all fuck and a car that looks better than 99% of the heaps on the road
Joseph Parker
How did you get 130,000?
Blake Murphy
You don't need $130k sitting around to buy a $130k car. I doubt more than 5% of people buying cars in that range do it outright.
Christian Gutierrez
If I had your budget it would be the cayman all day every day. I'd still show up at a cadillac dealership and give the cts-v a whirl.
Joshua Watson
Why would you not finance any car over 20k? Rates are so low you're literally giving away thousands in free money by buying a car outright and not using that money for investing and pulling in mad gains
John Reed
How much is this?
Jayden Torres
hnnng definitely getting one soon
Henry Thompson
>$130k
Viper or LC
Jacob Howard
Financing $70k of it.
Jayden Allen
Get yourself a GT-R, never will go without one in the stable
991 Turbo S is also a great car
John Brooks
So where did you get $60k from?
Connor Bell
I have considered the 4C, for sure a nice car.
Cameron Allen
>GTR, Cayman, Evora All boiracer shit.
F-Type is the only gentleman's car listed.
Anthony Wilson
I earn $160k a year, wife earns $75k a year. Our mortgage is only $1800 so we save an extreme amount per month. Together we also have $600,000 in investments and we're dividend focused investors. (We live in Jersey and work in the city)
Julian Harris
Do you have a healthy savings for all the alimony payments after she leaves you?
Aaron Reyes
don't listen to haters op
Logan Martinez
When we met I was only earning 60k, she didn't marry me for the money :)
Nicholas Jones
People finance because they want to live beyond their means, not because it's a shrewd financial decision. If you actually had $130k to spend on a car buying a new car in that range is complete financial retardation. You can buy a clean 575 and worst case scenario in 5-10 years it's worth what you paid, chances are it will go up though. Any of these other cars are going to be maybe 20% of their original purchase price in 5-10 years. You have to look at the cars value when it's paid off, not the initial purchase price. If you buy an F Type for $80k on a 5 year loan at 0% you would be spending $80k on a $20k car.
Lincoln Young
What does your wife drive?
Aaron Gutierrez
Can I have two thousand dollars?
Bentley Ramirez
Mercedes C300.
Jordan Bennett
I'm not talking about cars as an investment, I'm talking about dropping cash on a car is retarded when you could be investing that cash and getting a much larger return than the 0-5% interest you're paying in your car loan. Time value of money m8, its retarded to burn cash on a car to save the miniscule interest rate vs making 10% in investments over the time it takes to pay the car off by financing it
Luke Wood
Don't buy new, buy old, something with a lot of depreciation already driven off. A lot of well built low mile german sports cars right at the bottom of their depreciation curve from the late 80's, early 90's. Especially the bmw's. 850csi. e34 M5. e30 320is. e36 M3 euro-spec. e39 M5. You can buy multiples of these cars with the money you are looking to spend and have a REAL driver car and possible a driveable appreciating investment. See e30 M3 and e28 M5 for examples.
Jeremiah Miller
Basically this but I hear the Evora 400 is really nice so I wouldn't discount it.
Gavin Wood
Being well-built doesn't exempt it from needing serious repairs. Vacuum hoses, belts, pulleys, pumps, electrical wiring, etc. ALL of this shit can and will fail on a 20-30 year old car regardless of who made it.
Christian Gomez
This is definitely the mindset of someone who has money and is good at making lots more of it.
Charles Flores
I see you and wifey are in to Mercedes. I'd be buying every 2.3-16 and 2.5-16 I could get my hands on. That and the SL500's, and the 560SEC. Those cars are money in the bank.
Joshua Perry
if i kay ask whats your job? huh i honestly never thought someone who earns 160k could afford cars in that range practically, but now you make it sound easy
Andrew Nelson
Buy her an F-Type then buy you an LC.
Done.
Jaxson Flores
If you really want a nice car, and care about money, why not do both and buy a car that is likely to hold it's value? The answer is almost nobody actually has the means to buy a $100k car, they just have to have one.
Evan Stewart
Sure, and it will fail on brand new cars. I owned a brand new Ford Diesel that had its injectors replaced before it even cleared the parking lot at the dealership.
Isaiah Clark
>Sure, and it will fail on brand new cars.
>I owned a brand new Ford
Jayden Smith
OP please answer. I'll settle for $1000 as well.
Michael Johnson
Even an 850i is easier to keep up than luxury cars being made in the last few years with adaptive cruise control, electric power steering/ibooster, etc. It may not be apparent because most of these cars are still under warranty but it's going to be an all new level of depreciation/disastrous used cars being sold to poor suckers once they get out of warranty.
Robert Gonzalez
not OP but
1. very hard to finance an older car without already being wealthy 2. new cars come with warranty, sometimes free maintenance for a time period 3. good lucking driving a ferrari 550 3-4 days a week without hating life. rock chips, parking lots, MPG, etc
and anyone comparing a GTR vs an Evora S doesn't know anything about a cars and don't care about resale.
Asher Garcia
Yup, e60 M5 is the poster child of this new era. Great car, but the overly complicated blackhole of maintenance required is the reason why it is depreciating at twice the rate of any prior M car. And the newer M's are no different.
Adrian Edwards
Buy all the clean, non-modded jap tofuboxes you can.
Owen Martin
If I had OP's money I'd buy a couple low k R32 GTR's, a couple Figaros and maybe a couple other low k kei cars.
Tyler Allen
In that budget I would also consider the new Lexus LC500.
That NA V8 sounds fantastic.
Liam Cook
Cayman GT4
Noah Garcia
There's no pricing details at all currently, just (rightful) speculation that it will probably be 80-130k. Right in your budget.
Julian Ross
you'd be retarded to spend that much on a car. 997 911 is the best car in your budget. Just pick as fast as you want to go.
Gavin Rivera
3 Focus RS
Camden Sullivan
1 Focus RS 1 VW Golf R 1 Civic Type R 1 3k civic
Dominic Fisher
This is the right answer:
Leo Ross
>Asking Veeky Forums for buying a car with a budget above 30 grand >This is not fiction
With 130k, mind as well just grab a S550 Coupe.
Gavin King
From a buyer in the same price range. Check out the F-Type FB group and fourms. They are having tons of problems. Which is a shame, as I think its the sexiest on the list.
Cayman S is the reliable choice.
Gavin Davis
911 Carrera. Not the S, in the 991.2 with the turbos you don't need it.
Aaron Fisher
Whend you save up for x amount of time use it as a down payment you finance the rest. That's generally how it should work. If you aren't spending anywhere else and know what you want your note to be at you should just do what you want.
