Because the amount of people who can give you realistic advise can be counted on 1 hand. The best thing to do is test drive some things that tickle your fancy, then get yourself over to somewhere like PistonHeads, where there are people who own almost every car in your budget.
150k to spend :D

If i come into some money, i would look at an Aston Martin
(Dunno what they are worth lol)PS- Nice one on the cash, i would love to have that amount to splash out on what i want
If you had £300k, and wanted to buy a £150k car, then okay. If however, you had £150k only, and wanted to buy a £150k car, then obviously that's a stupidly bad idea.
personaly i would spend considerbly less. Few ideas:
S2000
R32
911 of some sort
vx220
elise
TVR of some kind + big wad of cash to fix it
though if your after something rare

You want a proper reply of what someone would buy?
At the moment (if I had £150k) I'd like to go for a proper '67 Fastback 'stang, but because it's the car I aim to get later in life due to storage etc. of the car.
I think I'd look at the sporty cars I'm currently looking at being able to get in a couple of years, and some others, just to see what they are like. So, DC5, DC2, GT4, some form of BMW, Impreza, Evo, S2000...basically something fast and fun.
Cheers for reading ALL of my posts. :/

Or maybe some people are genuinely worried that you will throw away a large quantity of money which I expect you will have inherited. I know my family would be furious if I chucked £150k of someone elses money at a car.

Fine. Here we go:
a) You are claiming to have a very, very large car budget. £150k is such a huge amount to spend on a car, that 95% of the people in this forum cannot even comprehend what they would do in the same situation. It's just beyond them. Some wont even earn it, in total, before tax, in a decade. Let alone spend it on a car. Therefore, the advice these people will be able to offer is virtually worthless - they can suggest pretty supercars. Great, but you can get this info by flicking through Top Gear Magazine.
b) You appear to be completely oblivious to the fact that £150k is a rather daft car budget. It buys all sorts of ridiculous exotica which as well as being real handful to drive is also a real pain to own. These cars are owned by people who also own other cars, and buy these cars because they love them not because somebody on the internet suggested it.
c) You must know how bizarre your thread looks in this forum, sat right above a thread with people going crazy because fuel is a whole 4p cheaper?
d) Why would somebody who doesn't seem to have an awful lot of car knowledge but aside such a huge budget for the purchase of a car?
e) The other 5% of this forum can comprehend the amount of money you have to spend, and, frankly, the fact you wish to spend it on a car frightens them to death. This, coupled with the fact that before you got this money you were 20 grand in debt at the age of 22 and had a GTI on finance as well rather suggests that finances are something it could be suggested that you suck at. Therefore whatever money you have come into appears to be pretty squandered away on useless crap you neither understand nor need PDQ, and you'll be left with nothing but a destroyed opportunity
f) It's almost certainly a load of bull anyway and we've had loads of people try it on over the years.
I have ONE peice of serious advice for you. If you genuinelly are a normal 22 year old guy who has suddenly come into a vast quantity of cash, go and buy a Golf R32. Currently, its your dream car. You like them. Buy it, brand new, in your favourite colour. Not only does this leave you with hundreds of thousands of spare cash you would be an IDIOT if you didnt invest somewhere, it also keeps you grounded on planet earth. Once you've made the move to seriously expensive stuff its very hard to come back.

He has a very valid point though.

I actually didn't ask anyone on here or anywhere actually, I bought it in an afternoon when I was in a good mood and posted a picture. Some people did seem to mistake me for a baker though because they kept requesting bread based products. If I had £150K right now i'd probably buy a nice selction of classics rather than a supercar.
It is a thread which generates mixed emotions.
If he is a liar, then he's irritating and annoying. This is grating.
If he's telling the truth, then I am overcome with envy

I appreciate your reply and i understand what you are trying to say but you are tarnishing everyone with the same cloth. Just because you dont have proof that i can afford such thing, doesnt mean you have to be a horrible person about it. I simply created a new thread in a Forum which i browse regularly and was asking for peoples advice and opinions on what i should do. I didnt ask for an arguement, i didnt ask for backlash, all i asked was for some simple advice.
You know what? I may buy a R32 for 30k as a normal run around, but i also want something a bit more 'special' like an Aston Martin to take for a drive every so often. Is there anything wrong with it?
Im not trying to cause arguements and if you or anybody else doesnt believe me then thats fine. If people say dont buy it, invest it, i would appreciate their comments and understand where they are coming from but i asked for advice because i wanted to buy a special car.

The fact your having to ask on an internet forums tells me you really shouldnt buy a £150k car
