Infinit G35
BMW 335i
BMW M3
Lexus IS350(didnt get good reviews)
Audi S4(looks kinda dorky...)
Honda Accord Coupe V6(???)

although it may not be practical for everyday use, it's in your budget ($43K base) and probably drops panties.

Other than that, I'd go with the Inifiniti and then the 335 Bmw

Re: Car Shopping, will spend up to 45k
 

what's the over/under on the eta of the financially responsible poster saying something along the lines of "buy a 10k two year old honda and put the rest into savings so you can retire earlier"?

then the thread degrades into a discussion about how he wants to spend $ on a car whereas other people want to tell him how dumb that is, etc, etc.

i'm looking forward to seeing it for the 13420938th time.

Are you waiting the two or three months to pull together a down payment?

More so to make sure I pay off all of my school for the year first so the parents dont bitch.

Planning on making a 25% downpayment, sound good? Ive never bought a car that ive had to make monthly payments on(91 toyota corolla, holla) so idk anything about this stuff. Dont want to ask the parents because they are lame, and I dont feel like getting lectured by them, or anyone here. I am 20, I want a [censored] pimp ride. dont lecture me. fwiw, I do invest a certain % of my earnings each month.

Re: Car Shopping, will spend up to 45k
 

reef, they are sick cars, no doubt. But, totally impractical. They are track cars. Im looking for something sporty, but practical for every day driving, picking up honeys, etc. The lotuses are kinda small inside [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'd definately say PWNED! NH sir.

Btw, I've always preferred the Nissan 350Z Track or Roadster over the G35.

You're 20 years old and you want to buy a $45k car to pick up chicks.



this is incredibly stupid.

it was sarcasm(yeah, didnt make that clear). ive got a gf of over 2 yrs. just trying to go along with the balla theme. like i said, fast, sporty, classy, practical. and, its gotta be pimp. something i can maybe put big shiny rims on...

Re: Car Shopping, will spend up to 45k
 

Are you employed? Student? Poker player?

Seriously, this sounds like a terrible idea. Just buy a decent car that works with that downpayment. A 45k car won't sufficiently impress anyone.

Edit: i even knew there was a new 3 series coming out just too tired to realize it was the 335.

My summer sports car last year was a Nissan 350z. I loved it. And it does quite well in the babe dep't.

Re: Car Shopping, will spend up to 45k
 

ebran, I respect what yer sayin, but at this stage in my life, im making better $ than my dad just playing poker. I also have a stupid on campus job that nets me 9$/hour sitting in a computer lab...playing poker, or doing hw. Like I said, I put away 10% of my earnings each month into a savings account. I will have paid of my schooling before I actually buy a new car. Anyways..

What car do you suggest? The accord is pretty nice actually..

Mad, don't listen to the people that tell you not buy a 45k car. If you can afford it, do it.

However, I do believe that it's good to buy a year old car. You get a much nicer car for your money and you save all that first year depreciation.

If I saw you in this car, the first thought in my mind would be:

That's a serious mid-life crisis car. You may as well get a Corvette.

Re: Car Shopping, will spend up to 45k
 

i may be dumb and mess up on the 335 but a viper is not a serious mid life crisis car, its a beautiful machine.

Re: Car Shopping, will spend up to 45k
 

I don't know much about cars. I'm probably as ignorant, or slightly moreso, than the average person. When I saw the pictures of that thing, the first thing I thought was, "That car belongs to a 45-year old divorced tool with a toupee."

Maybe if I had a vagina, I'd think, "I WANT HIM!" instead.

I'm not balla, but I'm pretty sure a balla pays straight cash. Taking out a 30k loan for a car? Seems ridiculous on many levels.

Re: Car Shopping, will spend up to 45k
 

Are you a millionaire?

If not I think you should spend 26K and put 4k into a roth IRA and 15K into your 401(k). Retire much richer than if you blow 45k on a depreciating pimpmobile.

I bought one of these yesterday:

While it won't get you laid, you can beat any car you've mentioned so far as far as speed/performance goes (even the upcoming 300hp BMW 335i). The one I got has silver rims [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

now thats what im talking about, very nice car. fast, sorta sporty, very classy, and very pimp.

keep em coming

Re: Car Shopping, will spend up to 45k
 

Yeah except you drive a 4 year old car. Does it come with a tape deck I can't tell from these pictures.

Re: Car Shopping, will spend up to 45k
 

As far as price, power, class, and all around pimpness. I think the G35 coupe is a very nice option. Fully loaded 2k4 can be had for under 30k. what do you guys think? Any G35 owners here?

Re: Car Shopping, will spend up to 45k
 

unless you get used cars, better write off an M3 and S4 off the list right now.

as suggested by some, a lotus elise is insanely cool but highly impractical.

if you want a roadster, check out an elise, z4, 350Z, and simliair cars (Z4 is a chick car, elise is just cool)

consider a used porsche boxster as well


putting my great advice aside, do you wear a baseball cap offset slightly up and to the right? you certainly sound like one of those people

Yes..I do [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] . Anyways, most of those cars are impractical, sweet, but not reasonable. I will most likely be buying used so I surpass some of the depreciation.
