Poll: Lets say you’ve got about $28K US (or say, about $39K-$40K CDN) to buy your next vehicle. What would it be?
Note: Don’t say you’d throw in another $20K and buy a Corvette or something like that… use the price as the ceiling.
1st choice - Subaru Impreza Sedan (Either RS or WRX, undecided)
2nd Choice - Toyota Tacoma 4x4 Crew Cab (4-door)
You…?
Harley Davidson Ultra Classic
F*ck it…I’m getting old…
2003 Kawasaki ZX6R (636) & $20K in Go-Fast goodies 
Or 1972+ Bronco (in good over all condition) + $20-23K in goodies.
Station wagon. Something with a v-6, AWD, roof rack, trailer hitch. Preferably with leg room in the back seats.
I’d be torn between a Subaru WRX and an Acura TSX. I’d probably end up with the Subaru.
Motor Scooter.
$1500 or so.
Pocket the rest…<hee-hee-hee>
Most likely a Volvo of some type.
Or an SUV so I can drive like a jerk too!
I’d go out and buy a used M3.
If I had to buy a new car, I’d either haggle the daylights out of a Mitsubishi dealer for a new Evo, or I’d go get a Mazdaspeed Protoge’.
hummer. wouldn’t ahve to worry about road conditions
Damn. I was going to say I’d add another $10,000 and get a c.1970 Cessna 172 Skyhawk.
I’m already having an MGB restored, so I guess that’s out.
Do we have to spend all of the money? If so, I’d get a Toyota Tacoma Extended Cab, 4-cyl. manual transmission, and a Yamaha R1. Either that, or I’d get another used Porsche 911/Carrera.
I’d by a Mini-Cooper. I love those cute little things.
A 2000 Volvo V70 Cross Country Wagon’s what I’d buy. When should I expect the check?
A VW Passat would be, and was my choice. And you can have some money left over if you play your cards right.
Well, if replacing my wife’s car, a sedan, I’d go with a several year old Lexus…or an Infiniti sedan…something certified and pre-owned. (I would want a BMW or Mercedes, and could likely find one, but don’t want expensive maintenance or parts.)
If replacing my vehicle (a 2001 Dakota Quad Cab), I’d have to find something similar, so it to would be used and be the same kind of truck - another Dakota Quad Cab - or maybe the Ford F150 SuperCrew (also 4 doors).
To be totally frivolous: a 60’s or early 70’s American Muscle car.
A new Mazda6 - V6, stick shift, spoiler, 6 disk changer, all the goodies - except the “ground effects” molding, that looks stupid. I’ve taken a test drive. It’s really fun to drive!
BMW R1100SS, and maybe add an aftermarket turbo. Or perhaps a 'busa, and forgo the turbo… hey! Both!
Not so big on cars, but could add one of the following to the bike choice:
Or if I was forced to omit the two wheelers, maybe I’d look for:
Obviously most of these would be (very) second hand…
I’d rather get an original Mini. They’re so much cooler than the new ones!
Hummmm…
I just bought a “new” car in December, and pretty much have all I want now, so, I’ll say a 2002 Nissan Maxima SE with manual transmission and with the rest of the cash, fix up the Fiat (fresh paint and body work, new steering arm, powder coat the wheels) and a remanufactured transfer case for the Ford pickup (model 1356 if anybody out there has one cheap).
Still money left! Give me a Ural with sidecar. That did it.
Fagjunk Theology: Not just for sodomite propagandists anymore.
gatopescado: What kind of Fiat? I totally dig the Ural with the sidecar – or even without the sidecar. (But I think I’d prefer a Royal Enfield “Bullet”.)
3-4 year old BMW 740iL, with an extended warranty.
