This thread is ridiculous. It's somebody with no genuine interest in cars, let alone high performance / supercars, asking a load of forum members how he should spend his money.

If you don't have enough of an interest to make your own informed decision about a car that you would like to own/run, then why would you bother outlaying all that money in the first place, especially in todays financial climate.

Just seems like you've got some money (If this is even real) and its burning a catastrophicly large hole in your pocket, and you don;t even have enough of an imagination to think what car you would like to buy.

Anyhow if it was me, I'd be spending around 30- 35k on an M3 CSL, and then putting the rest away. (Not in an Icelandic Bank)

I agree. However don't hold it against him that he has no current interest in nice cars. Many people don't when they have no money for such things :)

He should really just surf plenty of pistonhead forums for about 6 months. Develop some knowledge and interests in brands of car and then take it from there.

Buy all the Top Gear boxsets on DVD too as that should certainly help.
 
you would be surprised what cars dealers let you drive, I drove a R8 in jeans and a teeshirt, not quite 150k but still, turn up in a nice car and dressed ok and you could be surprised.

Appreciate your comments. I do have a interest in cars, but im not a maniac that gets excited about whats "under the hood". Im a simple person with a simple ask.

I'm going to buy a R32 straight away because i wanted one. If i dont want it anymore, i will sell it to someone here for a bargain, if people dont believe me. I'm not a liar. :)

If your level of liquidity is really in excess of 3 million pounds as you seem to be suggesting (and I can’t but help doubt but I’ll run with it for now) banks and investment organisations will be biting your arm off for your custom. At this level of disposable income you should have no problem arranging car test drives and someone within the personal banking areas of high net worth banks should be able to facilitate it all on your behalf if you invest with them. Proper money, wrong though it may seem to most, means you don’t put effort in because the people will come to you and plead with you to take one of their lovely cars for a day or so if you stack up.

Sorry, just to quickly comment on your post. When asked if i wanted to advice when i acquired the money, i politely refused as a member of my family is a Financial Advisor. :)
 
if i had a million i wouldnt dream of spending 150k-ish on a car :O, id get myself a nice luxury BM 7 series or 6 and save the rest and watch my interest build build build :D...dont be silly and save it, if you have it.

You took a bath there I suggest. GET PEOPLE WORKING FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE IN EXCESS OF £3M CASH. THIS is the best advice on the entire thread, I urge you to take it on board and you have learnt something today.

Ok, well i'm sure you can understand that enthusiasts may get a little annoyed when someone who doesnt appear to have much of an interest turns up with money pouring out of his pocket and buys the best of the best.

the phrase all the gear and no idea, springs to mind,

Anyhow, give me your money and i'll choose an excellent car for you. :D
 
If you are being serious about this, then I would go with a 2nd hand Aston in the best possible condition and pocket the change.

Of course that is assuming you already have a house and a garage.

As there is no way I would buy a car at that kind of cash without a double garage.
