What is your car buying future?

[BLINGMW]

Turbo diesel something, I guess it STILL won't be a BMW :finger: , so I'll likely revisit the TDI.
I can't say I'll have a track car, we'll see. I'm just not missing the track really. :oops:
Suzuki V-strom or Honda CRF150 depending on if I'm living out in Botetourt as I hope to be.
Seems likely I'll be tired of the 2002 in 3 years. Just going on my track record here, NO car has made it that long.

All came true! Which probably means I'm boring. Ended up with a TTR250 instead of a CRF. :dunno:

i'm just completely uninterested in most new cars for a lot of reasons

I'm with you on that, and the Benz seems pretty cool.
*IF* I have money to put into anything, my 5 year plan would now include the Tesla model E, or frankenstein BMW 3.0CS. Ideally a Tesla drivetrain in a 3.0CS? :dunno: And while I may not make the GRM challenge this year with my/Taylor's busted Miata, I will, and that will be my track autox car.

*10th gen Civic Type-R next year
*991 GT3, GT4, Mclaren 12C, F430, or NSX (2nd gen)
or
*Ariel Atom, Radical, or Zenos E10S

NSX and Atom please!

I'm somewhat in the same boat Gerald. I sold the Corvette in order to buy a house and help with our wedding and in 2 or 3 years I'll be looking to get back into the sports car game. I will probably keep my Silverado and after Samantha's car is paid off we'll look into either a C6 Corvette or a 00-03 or so 911 Carrera Convertible. I'd love to get back into another Convertible and by then either should be able to be had at $20k with decent miles.

Well I ended up back in the Corvette game back in 2013, not so much by choice but necessity, so I guess that keeps me on track with getting back in the sports car game. Haven't gone with a C6 but my best friend from high school was selling his 2001 911 Carrera Coupe about 5 months ago and I almost bit the bullet on it. Drove it for about a week and couldn't convince the wife we needed it more than a truck. Within the last 3 months I've sold my F150 and the Corvette so we are down to 2 cars. I will be moving offices on August 1st which will cut my commute down from 60 miles each way to 12, so we are in the market for a newer truck right now. Looking for a 2011ish F150 or Silverado, crew cab, 4x4, for around 23-28k. Two or so years down the road we will be looking to pick up something sporty and fun either as a third car for around 15k, or trade Sam's Lexus for a IS-F or something along those lines to have a fun car and keep the garage count at 2.

We are going to try and move when the wife is done with grad school in 2 years. When we do, we want to move into a city and go down to one car. It is most likely to be a bitchin' wagon of some sort.

I'll probably trade the 848 for some sort of BMW sport tourer as well.

#nailedit... for the most part... and I even predicted that we would move (although it was six months, not two years).

also, moar cars is better than less cars.

RS4 Wagon. I'd like kids in the not too distant future. Budget/smart decision would be Jetta Wagon

Ended up with an A4 wagon. Did the best I could.

Couldn't have ever guessed I'd be rocking my mom's 15 year old RAV4.

New future: This thing was inherited. Shit, I may really be stuck in it, but considering I drive at most 200 miles a month and the reliable utility provided for pretty much free, I'd have a really hard time justifying spending a dollar on anything else. I could potentially see picking up a cheap toy for funsies/dates (Miata or something old/project).

[SlimKlim]

Replace Miata with S2000, E36 or some other track car with more horsepowers.

:lol: No.

Find something nice to drive around every day, but I'm not sure what that will be, possibly:

E28 BMW 5er: If I went this route it would have to be perfect, lowish mileage, perfect body and interior and a well functioning AC
E39 5er
Scooby Legacy GT
E38 7 series with a manual tranny swap
E46 ZHP

Yeah but none of those shitty cars.

Right now the M3 is functioning as my DD and my fun to drive street toy, I talk about replacing it, but when it comes down to it, I just don't know if I ever could. It was my dream car and I bought it when I was 18. Sooooo maybe I'd keep it and over the years slowly restore it back to it's original glory.

Ok yeah, that one actually panned out.

And then boost it.

Lol no.

997 911S, 993 9114S (Winter funs?), E92 M3, Ferrari 355 (probably not), Z4 M coupe in alpine white.

What sort of delusional bullshit is this? I guess one of them could still happen in the next 30-40 years. Maybe.

EDIT: OH and another bike. I really miss having a bike, but I've decided I'm not even going to think about purchasing another one until I can drop the cash for one that doesn't need an engine, or anything but oil changes and tires for that matter, for one without batting an eyelid, and I have space to keep it, and the fact that its really only nice enough to ride a bike 20% of the year. (unless you're as badass as Kaan)

Thinking CBR 600, SV650, Duc 848 or Duc Monster, maybe a VFR.

I would still love another bike but Lauren would kill me herself to save her the stress of worrying about me on one in NOVA traffic. At any rate that window of opportunity slammed shut the second I decided to sign papers on a brand new VW like a dipshit.

[*insertusernamehere*]

This thread was most entertaining haha

Scott, yes in every kind of way to the Escort!! Also yes for 90's cars.

[ScottyB]

I haven't driven a 190E evolution but I have heard they aren't anything special Doesn't make me want it any less!

me neither. and honestly, it makes like what, 250hp? i'm sure there's 80 better ways to thrill yourself in speed these days but i have a feeling i'd find it highly entertaining since i've spent my whole life driving slow turds :lol:

Have they dodged the outrageous prices e30 M3's are grabbing? I don't think we for the widebody/wing but we did get the 16v, right? That 240 isn't bad looking either :wink:...but the Escort :vomit:

no idea on the Evo II import prices to be honest. but the one we got was the neutered, no-flares 190E 2.3-16v that makes about 180hp and they're definitely 20x cheaper than an E30 M3 due to being balls slow, comparitively. you can convert them over to euro power specs but its still not the "real deal" experience.

you shut your mouth about my escort! 90's cars NEED bi-level wings and flares or we'll upset the space time continuum.

[SlimKlim]

There's a nice one on BAT right now, will be interesting to see what it goes for: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-mercedes-benz-190e-2-3-16-7/">http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-m ... -2-3-16-7/</a><!-- m -->

[ScottyB]

don't do that to me. its so nice and well kept. even for 8 or 9k that is a steal for something that special.

[rherold9]

Because why not join in. Some type of Honda racecur. Silverado 2500HD Diesel. Not really sure after that since I plan on DDing a truck for awhile and keeping it. If I ever got a BMW though it would be an e46 m3. Maybe some sort of hot hatch? Maybe not.... Idk I have so many vehicles in mind it's hard to say. C5 Z06s pique my interest. Anyways, I'd like to realistically acquire in the future is some type of Cayman gt whatever, f-type, or a newer z06....

Edit: forgot about my last for an s2k for so long. Probably pick one up for a DDing eventually

Newer Tacoma or some pickup. I can't imagine ever NOT owning a truck. Maybe a 4runner.

I definitely want a 944 some time. I wanted one even before I wanted a Miata. I know it sounds dumb, but I want to own a Civic at one point too. Nothing gets me off like reliability. I also want to have a Fox Body because I want to make it a point to have every type of motor, and I need to check V8 off the list.I like the styling and the 302 Windsor is an iconic motor.

I also want another BMW. Probably an E46 330i ZHP. I'm not sure if I want to get tangled up in that M car nonsense.

[rherold9]

Oh Taylor reminded me. GT350 is on my list as well.. hmm..

Are you sure? That's a 9/10 kind of car. Can you handle it?

This is one of the weirder quotes I have seen from this forum :lol:

Phrasing dude.

I would really like to grab an e90 m3 in the near future. However with the new job having me on the road everyday I'm not sure the MPG would be doable. A Cayman S would be a great weekend car I could see in the next 5 years. Or an F type since they are depreciating like crazy. I would like a Chevy 1500 or maybe a Colorado for house hold duties but that will probably wait until we move to a larger house.

Have you kept your eye on them recently? Every now and then I will do a search, I think the last I saw they were still low-mid 60s for the V6 S (which IMO is the one you want, 380hp V6 in that car would be great fun)

[JPolen01]

Oh yes. I check them frequently. The v6 S is my choice as well. From all the reviews it seems to be the most balanced and still sounds fantastic. I just can't decide on a color!

Nice! Black and white seem to be the most common, both of which would be fine choices. I have this thing for Italian Racing Red though after having test driven a new XFR in that color before I bought my old one:

It looks like they can actually be found for mid 50s now...

I have lusted also over the rare British Racing Green with the baseball glove leather interior. It's love it or hate it (wifey hates it, I just think it's really cool and you never see them):

[JPolen01]

Love the red as well but not sure I want to own a red car. British Racing Green is up there with white on my list. No more black cars for me if I can help it.

[Senor_Taylor]

Nooo. No white cars ever.
