Suggestions: Best car for your money for under $100K
 

If you were thinking of buying a decent (but not crazy) new set of wheels, what would it be? And, you want to keep it under $100K (or thereabout).

What would you buy?

Cadillac CTS-V

Porsche Cayman Turbo. Handles better than the 911 but is just as quick and its styling is nicer.

I'd get Cadillac Escalade, fully loaded for like $70k

:thumbsup

BMW m5 E39

BMW M6 Convertible.

that new Audi, awesome

iiiiiiiiiif, it's less than 100K, not sure

corvette Zo6

The Cadillac CTS-V is the z06 corvette engine in the car of the year winning Cadillac CTS.

E-Class. Will fit your budget and will show you have class.

Audi A5 3.0 TDI or Audi Q7 4.2 TDI :)

too many to choose from, lots of great cars under $100k

I agree those are awesome cars. I looked at those but they are out of my price range.

bachelor: m3
family guy: merc e500 or bmw 550
budget minded: nissan maxima

grand marquis solid as america.

With exploding gas tank in the rear, no extra charge!

:winkwink:

(actually i think they fixed that a few years ago.)

So far I'm thinking E-class, but I've had two Mercedes before (and loved them) , so I wanted to get some new opinions. look like it's a good choice either way. But I do love the cadi as well.

Why change from the make that's good?

$.02

Since I could care less about looks I would pick up one from www.theaircar.com Assuming I did care about looks well I could take about 80,000 of the remaining cash and let someone alter its looks for about 10-20k. Then well I could also buy another for the wife and do the same. Then still have enough to well put some nice generators at my house. Though I would save a lot more than listed cause like I said I do not care about looks. Yet I do think I would want the hybrid incase I did want to go somewhere a lot farther than I normally drive in my day to day life.

What do you drive now?

:thumbsup

you can get an S-class for under 100k , no?

Drive the Cadillac man. Just trust me.

Five Toyota Camry's.

335I Coupe and put the other $55k elsewhere :)

97% of the people who posted this would be full of shit.

Since it's Ray, I won't be utterly amused.

I like the new BMW's. A little sporty, a lot of room. Very comfy.

Mercedes are good, but I think BMW is a little more bang for the buck.

bmw x5 :)

Toyota Highland Hybrid.... then invest the other 60k AND the shitloads of money you'll save on gas....

ANY car over $50k is a total waste unless you enjoy throwing money out the window... If you have to have a fast sports car buy a Z-51 equipped 'vette around $45k on clearance ;)

Lotus Exige S or Elise with plenty to spare for mods

or the limited Type72 if you could get one...

Can't go wrong with the Corvette Z06

I just picked up a 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid yesterday. Never thought I'd be driving a truck, a toyota or a hybrid. List was just over $40k. You could pick up one of those and Vette and still be under $100k.

I've driven several CTS's and I do not find them comfortable. BTW the CTS is a heavier and less wind resistant car so even with the same power it's not gonna take down a vet.

I think the CTS for '08 is gonna be 500+ HP, prolly be a 6.2 with twin turbos from what I've read on line.

Another vote here for the E-class.
Speed and luxury in a good looking package.

WTF??

How the fuck you make your money??

you are basically saying that you will spend between 80k and 100k on a car??

do you steal banks on a daily basis or what??

Yeah. I feel like I made a good choice now. Someone else mentioned the ride I bought.

There is no money in porn. He is a stockbroker who gets his thrills by coming and proving that nothing goof can come from looking at naked chicks for a living. . . .

:pimp

I so love this model ;-)

that's very impressive :thumbsup

I picked up an BMW M5 a couple of months ago, absolutely INSANE acceleration and handling. Only problem is that it's sitting in my garage for the winter hehe! 507hp and snow don't mix ;)

DH

P.S. I picked it up for 81k Canadian fully loaded.

Try some blizzaks. I have them on my E55 and I was out this morning in 5" of snow.

Aftershock, where do you live?

I am in Florida.

After the bad hurricane seasons of a few years ago I decided to install a generator. A BIG one. I priced it from local stores like Home Depot. Then local dealers. All bids came in about 60-70k.

I looked further and final cost was about 14k after some careful searching.

It is a 44 kw model that can easily power 4-5 homes. I wanted the extra juice to handle my pool and hot tub and to make sure all the a/c units could power up simultaneously.

Hit me up if this is the sort of thing you're looking at. The only downside is you have to get it off the truck (hire some local day labor) and hire your own electrician. All in all, a good deal for the savings, though. And it works like a charm.

It self-checks every week and has a remote feature that emails or hits your cell-phone to let you know if it was activated, and fires up within 10 seconds or so of an outage.

Well.. you are a known cheater ripping off other webmasters and doing false accusations of other people...

You should be in jail motherfuker.. you stupid canadian motherfucker...

I hate people like you who cheat others, come here with webmasters credit cards information (breaking privacy rules) and doing false accusations and then posting the cars they buy with the money they steal from webmasters...

you stupid motherfuker..

Well ...........

Ill sell you my e39 540 :) for much cheaper
I am in MTL and its on winter tiers now :)

I am getting something newer and bigger.
hit me up if interested, its a beauty

not crazy, but your cap is 100k....

I have two things to say:

1-Thanks for the great suggestions. I have a bunch of cars to research now.:thumbsup you guys clearly have good taste.

2-For those of you that think $80-$100k is a lot of money, or are concerned with how I make mine, I feel sorry for you. Hang in there man, it'll happen for you someday if you really apply yourself.:2 cents: I had no idea the board was filled with either newbies, or failures. That's a shame.:( (hit me up, I'll give you career advice for free...just kidding, you are on your own).:helpme
