What car would you have for 50k ? and would you buy one you couldnt afford to run ?

[Peerzy]

Hmmmmmm GTR just for the ZOMGness, possibly a Shelby GT500 Mustang.

theres only 8RHD 348GTC's in the uk

 

[Vonsteve]

TVR Sagaris.

No question.

Good call, imagine the rest of the money would be sucked up fast keeping it on the road lol. What are these like reliabilty wise? Same as the other modern 6cyl tvr's?

 

[wez130]

used V8 Vantage or used Nissan GT-R or a sensible road car (BMW 330i cab maybe) and a track car (Atom / '7' or an exige maybe)

 

[-Ad-]

Sag or an M400.

Can't decide which until I have driven them

 

[spaz]

I'd love a Gallardo, but imagine one for this price would be a bit ropey, so it'd be a toss up between a 911 GT3 and a Corvette Z06, and for some reason I think I'd plump for the yank brute!

 

[Spuderoony]

E92 M3
Slightly used GTR
Atom (supercharged)
TTRS
R8 (if prepared to tolerate a wait of a good few months)

Pretty much the only ones in the frame.

Just had a thought.

By the time I'd be a position to do this it'd probably be within the price to get something like a 330/335d for during the week and Atom for the weekend/being mental. Now that does sound appealing

 

[SHEDDER1uk]

New skyline all day long.

 

[I get around]

Some sort of second hand aston.

 

[Janesy B]

MK2 Ford Focus RS. I'm sure the other 22k will vanish on insurance, fuel and new tyres pretty quick

 

[Deleted User 234324]

Have to be a GT-R

 

[Jez]

I'd probably buy an 04/05 Bentley CGT in the view to running it long term. I wouldnt want anything too sporty as a long term daily prospect and wouldnt want something so valuble as a rarely used secondary car. These are about the best cars in the business as dailys so theres the choice.

Porsche GT3 vs M3 V8 vs GTR

A manual one of these

Then the rest on running it and petrol - If I had a well paid job I could probably afford to keep it when the 20k ran out but who knows.

I raise you a Z06, THEN the rest on running it

edit - what happened to all the £30k Z06's that were on there a few months ago! :0

 

[Fr0dders]

96 Dodge Viper GTS in Blue/white

really ?

everything i've ever read about them says they're crude, horrible to drive and almost agricultural.

Big V10, lots of noise, lots of prescence

not a lot else.

No idea, but I haven't looked at vettes until recently.....serious contender for a next car (c6)

 

[BD10NNF]

I would get a Yaris (Joking). No I would really get an Evo 10 so that I could mod it up a little and then use the rest of the money to run it.

Nope not really, as most of these answers are not thought out at all and as such are mostly rubbish.

 

[jellybeard999]

I wouldn't like to buy a car I couldn't comfortably afford to run. If I had £50k that must be spent on a car / running costs, I'd probably go for a TVR and keep something more mundane for commuting etc

I have to say though, it's a position I've never been in, and might prefer a different car in reality.
