Ok FF guys and girls I've had a bizarre day at work (see "I hate that" thread in the Bar....ha).
So now unwinding to relax - a mate rang earlier today and said bought a new car for near 90K (optioned up Euro) I won't say what but let's say I was a bit baffled, but congratulated him etc as his and wife's choice!! It certainly wouldn't get my money (not that I could afford it) but each to their own and all good. It got me thinking. I'd like to know if you won the lottery of 100K (hypothetically) and as part of winning needed to select a brand new car/suv/ute up to that amount - what would you choose? I'm yet to decide myself! But I will soon. Hopefully get a range of vehicles to discuss! RULE- it cannot be a Ford so makes it harder ; ) Last edited by MercuryT; 08-05-2020 at 06:57 PM. |

Do I have to buy new? There's nothing out there that I like enough to want to buy.
I would find myself a nice HQ 253 4 spd Kingswood and use the change to build a man cave to put it in.

FGX XR8, FGX XR6T, VF SS-V Redline LS3, or Clubsport LSA at the upper end. Only because plenty of HP cars to come but these are at best going to go flat or go up. No more to come of the Aussie cars. Ultimately I would get a GTS-R W1 but 100k ain't going to cover that,
The only thing is I'm likely the last generation to have grown up and love these cars so much so who knows where prices go but my intention is to get one of both stables when and if I can and hopefully hold onto them. Most realistic goal is I get a VF SSV-R and down the line get a FGX XR6T. Last edited by MITCHAY; 08-05-2020 at 07:27 PM. |

Nothing. Pay the home loan off first. Buy a new daily drive with my own money later - quite happy with my FG2 XR6T-LE for the time being.

Given I'm mentally a cynical old bastard, I'm quite keen on the basic recipe of large sedan with large engine that drives rear wheel(s):
   Chrysler 300 SRT would be quite suitable, though I'd probably opt for the core version if its still available as it comes sans all the electronic crap. Looks suitably threatening for the work car park by day and right at home parked out the dodgy venues on the south end of King Street on a Friday night, would match my silly work attire of collared shirt, dress pants + 1320video flexfit baseball cap perfectly. P.S - I'm not a drug dealer, I just like looking like one

It looks standard but clearly has exhaust and suspension mods. I'm no mechanic but I'm assuming "bagged" suspension as when it's parked it's literally an inch off the road but somehow it suits the car. It raises significantly when driving. Not saying a good idea etc (or others like it) but seeing a large new sports sedan that low catches my eye I guess and in black looks tough |

Sure it is, you're putting more thought into it because it's your own money. Anyway, given I'm keeping the FG2 - the next daily needs to be a 2 door. Already got a 4 door I want to keep. Something better than the VW 1600 SuperBug I owned previously, the only other 2 door I've owned. Corvette looks good? If RHD ever gets made.
