What would you buy with.....

[JLemonjello]

You wake up tomorrow and something magic happens. There is an envelope next to your bed that says "Congratulations, you have won X amount of dollars and you must spend in on a brand new car by the end of the day."

What do you buy when.....

X= 20,000
X= 40,000
X= 60,000
X= 80,000
X= 100+

Here are mine:
X20k = Acura TSX
X40k = BMW 335i
X60k = BMW 550i
X80k = BMW M5
X100 = 2001 Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina or 2001 BMW Z8... broke my own rules and went used.... Enzo if new

[DarkFury]

Is this "after tax" money or "before tax" money? :D

20K = "Can you really buy a decent car for $20K... or can I use the money just to pay down the loan on my current car? :D )

40K = The car I have... a fully decked out Chrysler 300C

60K = Most Likely a Corvette, but could be a nice Mercedes as well

80K = Why am I buying a car... I need to pay off my HOUSE!!! :eek:

100K = Screw the car... I'm buying a new house! :D

[Maarchk]

Here are mine:
20k = Acura RSX -S
40k = Mitsubishi Lanver Evo MR Edition
60k = Lotus Exige
80k = Corvette C6
100 = Porsche GT3

[sizemic1]

20K - Mazdaspeed 3
40k - BMW 330ix
60k - Z06 Corvette
80k - Audi A8 or S6
100k - Porsche Carrera Turbo

[ray]

20k = Camry
40k = Camry x2
60k = Camry x3
80k = Lexus SC430
100 = Camry + Lexus RX400h

[bachviet]

$20K = Honda Civic Si (4-dr coming out next year)
$40K = Acura TL A-Spec
$60K = Lexus GS430
$80K = Lexus LS600h (coming out soon)
$100K = Down payment for a house

[renovation]

i buy a new vet loaded for $100,000, then sell it and put the money in a bank. :)

[MrGreg]

Assuming I keep my current car... ('05 WRX wagon)

X20k = Nissan Frontier Truck
X40k = Ariel Atom (http://www.arielatom.com/) 205hp model
X60k = Ariel Atom (http://www.arielatom.com/) 300hp model
X80k = Ariel Atom (http://www.arielatom.com/) 300hp model and performance driving lessons
X100 = Ariel Atom (http://www.arielatom.com/) 300hp model with tons of upgrades and performance driving lessons

[JaQnAbOx]

X20k = Kia Rio x2 - Paid in cash$
X40k = Kia Rio x4
X60k = Kia Rio x7 - Buy 6 get 1 free
X80k = Kia Rio x10 - Buy 8 get 2 free
X100 = Kia Rio x14 - Buy 10 get 4 free

with 14 Kia Rios I would then start a dealer ship...selling them at $10500 each...and restart the whole process now with $147000. The plan may be flawed but...i would get one of every color and own a rainbow fleet of Kia Rios. Then just give them to my friends so we can play bumper cars.

[Jihforce]

20k = Civic Si or VW GTI.
40k = E-class MB maybe.
60k = Viper
100 = Ferrari F430

[thresher]

20K - keep my F150, buy my wife a used 300C
40k - same as above, but Mustang GT and keep change for new boat
60k - Z06 Corvette (wife gets her old car);)

[ShawnLee]

Question: Can I buy a motorcycle instead of a car?

If so...
20k = BMW R1200R with a bunch of options and accessories. Sweet.
If not...
20k=Chevy Colorado
40k = BMW 330
60k = 2007 Mustang- the Shelby GT 500
80k = Corvette Z06
100 = BMW 750 Li
I'm not sure if you meant 100k was the limit or 100k+
As a matter of principle, anything over 100k?
Man...
Either a Maybach or...
hmm, the more likely one?
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren- I think it's one of the most beautiful cars ever.

[attgig]

X20k = mini (convertible fit the price range?)
X40k = lexus rx400h
X60k = 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG
X80k = 911
X100 = Maserati

anything over...

You can't buy the RX400h for less than $45K. The base RX330 costs around $40K already.
