Cool cars you actually should be able to buy

camelfarmer · November 7th, 2009, 1:26 PM

...in a little while when you have some money.

I finish uni in about 2 years and should have enough money in like about 4 years to buy an SL55 AMG from 2006 or so. 7 year old cars are going for the price of a new Ford Mondeo.

6 year old one is 26K http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IMMACULATE-200...item2ea8d1c3ea

So which cars do you think you could actually afford to buy in a few years. This is a bit different from us all hoping to buy some dream car 20 years in the future.

For me it would be an Audi A5 I guess

well specced not-S models should go for under 20k then.

Escort Mk. 2. I could still get a REASONABLY decent one for 2k€.. I'm just too committed to the Sierra to buy it, also I don't have room for 2 cars, and the concept of a student being able to afford 2 cars is not possible.

If I had 5k€ extra money though, I would buy it tomorrow..

*Checks carsales for SL55s

Hmm, cheapest one is a 2003 for $120k (around GBP55k). Stupid resale.

Not sure what my next car is going to be, I really have a thing for AMG C63s.

Seriously WTF? I got a neg rep from this post saying: "fuck off douchebag"
That's like the 3rd time I've gotten an unsigned neg rep for no apparent reason.. Is there any way to know who did it?

Convertibles are for queers.

I was considering a 159 I really like them.

starfox07 · November 7th, 2009, 6:08 PM

I'm actually getting a strong desire to get a 300zx Z32. They just look so good and the n/a models seem to be fairly reliable with decent power.

Supreme_Being · November 7th, 2009, 6:12 PM

I do have a strong desire for an old RR-- Range Rover, ha!

Koenig · November 7th, 2009, 6:13 PM

Ahem.....

Excuse me, I need a change of pants.

Isn't that quite an expensive example?

Night_Hawk · November 7th, 2009, 6:36 PM

I'll say 2010 impreza or outback, since there's a really good chance one of them might be my next car. In about a year or so.

I can't think of anything right now for an older car though. And thats strange.

A C5 Z06 would be a fun choice for relatively little money.

Or a 996 911, although I would be paranoid as hell about the costs of maintenance and reliability.
