What's your REALISTIC dream car? (under ~$40k US)

I'd definetly Have to go with a 1970 El Camino SS 454 4speed. Those are pretty rare though, so maybe I could settle with the SS 396. :D:p

As for modern cars. I'd go with a Jeep Rubicon or sothing like that...

Haha hook a brother up :p:lol:

Cars do seem relatively cheap in the U.S. Lack of taxes?? or maybe just cheaper due to the size of the market.
 
It'd have to be either a Nissan 350z, Saab 9-3, or a Lexus IS250. With the spare change, maybe even a stripped Civic with IRS for track days :)
 
I have no real dream cars for under that price, speaking for those of us with jobs which enable us to afford a bit more, my current realistic dream car is either:

Audi RS4

Porsche Carrera S (current gen)

Well, the "dream" bit doesn't have to be price related. There are some pretty rare cars for that money, or cars that the wife/ family doesn't agree with, or cars that you've always liked since you were a little kid but never got around owning them.

im not disagreeing with you, but when most ppl state 'dream car' with a price point, they're usually implying cars that are attainable now if you had the money. once a car becomes so rare that its nearly unattainable, the original price (say under $40K) is usually a moot point, and if its a good car, the rarity makes it a lot more valuable than that, hence, going back to the point of price.

again, i'm just saying that's the context how MOST ppl use 'dream car for $XX'
 
true, i disagree with setting a price point for an attainable dream car, because for some people even $40K isn't attainable, and to others $80K is peanuts. To me attainable means something you might be able to afford in the not-so-distant future.
 
dream attainable car? well theres a few...used obviously

Audi S6 (6 cyl ones)
BMW E39 M5 or 540i
Nissan 350Z
Volvo C30 (5 cyl turbo)
Volvo C70 (new shape, 5 cyl turbo)
Porsche Carrera 2 (bottom of the ranger, but the most charming)
Vauxhall Monaro (5.7liter version)
Golf R32 (Mkv)
Focus RS

yup i want lots of cars!

I think you mean 5-cyl ones? S6 has been made with I5, V8 and V10 engine configurations, no V6 ones.

oh, ok, i dont really know much about such cars, but i did see a 99 S6 in black for ?9,999. it was in pristine condition too. lucky bugger who ever bought it.

they didnt make any I6's?

just been looking at the prices for a 350z and WOW!

my mate just spend 10k on a used, but fairly new Hyundai coupe. for a little more he could of had a 2002-2003 350z!
