It is very easy to forget about the REAL cost of ownership when you are just thinking about how much the cost of a car is according to payments.

Im with you on this one.

Im currently in this situation. Ive been in the market for a newer vehicle, but its just hard for me to let go my passion for the 240sx.

Ive been on the fence about buying a truck or a new 370Z. But then i start to think about the payment bullshit, insurance, reg, maint, etc . . . and wonder once again if its worth it?

At this point, im just thinking about building (yet) another 240 - lol

One for track, One for daily.

And stay happy with spending money on Modifications, and not interest & insurance.

[lucky7]

guards red Porsche 964 C2. so no awd bullshit, no turbo. just 240hp, narrow bodied 911. gold BBS', coilovers and the loudest exhaust i can find.


they go for $20-25k right now with low miles. (89-94)

then i'd DD an E46. i am partial to imola red.


i plan on keeping my E30 though. and i'd like to DD a W210 on monoblocks and springs until i can get an M3 to daily.

LOL thats exactly what happened to me when i was 1 signature away from buying a CUBE few months back...i just got a head ache thinking about all the extra fees and what not...

but i really want a brand new car that hasnt and wont be abused...

and then theres the M3 (E36) that ive been wanting since i can remember...2door...even the vert...i dunno..FML...its just german parts arent nearly priced as 240 parts...lol

[udon!]

4-door r34 gts-t


and an fd

ans a really cool s13

[kingkilburn]

I would buy a Q45 or a 300E(it would so get an LS7) to daily and have money to do what I want with my 240sx. I didn't buy this car because it was cheap(which it was) but because it was the car I wanted.

[ESmorz]

Probably find one of these for a project.

[Xbroke_kidX]

I would get an old Euro rally car like Lancia Delta or something.

[T chop]

I'd like a Cayenne Turbo for a DD or an Elise, neither one are that expensive used.

If I had lots of money I would like have an M5 to drive around.

[no slide]

it would have to be sophisticated/sporty. like an 'M' or 'AMG' or something like that. i would still keep the 240 and just make it a raw ass track machine.

[soreballz]

My true love in the automotive world is pre-'73ish American cars, so, I'd be into that. My dream car is a '56 Buick Special, so I'd build one of those. No chop, frenched/shaved everything, big block, straight pipes, air bags, proper paint (some sort of deep, dark red), etc...

I'd love to have a C5 Z06 and a Lotus Exige.

If I suddenly started making 70k a year (lol), I'd keep the S13, but it would no longer be my DD, and it'd go into the garage for proper resto-modification.

[DALAZ_68]

fuyck you guys, id just build the Mach 5...







/thread

[Enna]

I'd be picking up a Lexus 460L, and a 70 240z. I wish infiniti had a full size luxury car that appealed to me.

I'd still keep the S14 though, it would just be driven on weekends or odd days.

[ManoNegra]

I faced this issue
decided to do the sensible thing and buy a house

I still can afford a new(er) car
but common sense or lack there of makes me hesitate
I go back and forth all the time

right now I seriously thinking about a 350z or g35
I would probably get rid of one of the S13s
s13 hatch plus s14 and a nice daily... hmmmm... sounds right to me









... or get a 240z.............

im with this guy. id buy a house.

with a garage of course

[SILEIGHTY_DET]

saying that i had everything else i wanted at the time , and a fun car was next on the list of priorities . i would sell the s13 or part out (which ever heald the highest proffit) and i would buy a used 2005-2007 aston martin v8 vantage coupe . i see them on ebay for arround 60k . if i saved for a few years i could have 75% paid off and have a few mods as well . mainly factory upgraded exhaust and ecu tune brings the power to a bout 450ish and finish off with a nice set of wheels .

i will own one in the next ten years

[azndummie]

id have a 240 still but id probably have a nismo z or a gtr also.

i fully plan to own one of these for the rare times i need to drive 3-5 other people around.

[1_Bad_Silvia]

i would get r34 skyline or audi r8 or bmw m6...or porche 911 turbo, or man i can just keep going but the s14.5 i have i would still keep it.

[doogstein]

57 ford f100 patina style slammed to the floor, 03 f350 7.3 diesel to haul it, audi r8 for when i have to make an impression, and hyundai genesis sedan for DD. couldnt have a sexier garage in my book.

not to be the jerk, but the whole point and focus of this thread is CARS...not houses...

so lets stay on track please...

[Mikey213]

Shoot my houses would be built! with ultra built 30 car garages each garage for each house will have 30 cars from each company. IE: One house will be the nissan house, the next house will be the bimmer house, etc.

Seriously. Pay attention much? "What cars would you be into"




And the scenario was 5-15K more a year. Lets be realistic. Some of these choices will STILL be outta your budget.

[xkamikazestormx]

I'd get either



or a



or a



i'm kinda biased towards a white car

[turtl631]

Mm, another 240SX as a track car...I'd rather track a cheap car if at all possible. Even with an E36 costs just skyrocket for both the car build and in case of junking the chassis.

Street car- Z4M coupe would be cool, the S54 engine is nice but E46 M3s don't do it for me. That unique body and simple interior is all I need.

I agree with the Cayman S thing too, would have to see how costs between the Z4M and the Cayman stack up. And drive both.

I've always liked NSXs and FDs, might be fun to own both for a while and then flip. There's so many great cars out there that I can't really justify holding onto a street car for too long. A project car that you invest time and money into is another matter, of course.

911 GT3 at some point eventually, but it might be a while before I can swing that. Depends how the depreciation curve looks, and if I'd be willing to "settle" for the ugly 996s.

[MisawaJason]

it would have to be a Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Jerk



lol, 5k wouldn't even start covering the cost of ownership of some of the cars being posted here.

[I LUV MY S13]

64 impala..or just a 350z, or gtr
