What car would you buy with these amounts of money?

[Senor_Taylor]

I've found myself thinking about what to buy after college, or even whenever I get rid of the E46. It made me wonder what all you would buy if I handed you a set amount of money and said "buy a car."

For these set amounts, what would you buy? Has to be stock, or near stock, and it has to be a realistic option. Really think about what you would ACTUALLY buy with this amount of money, and it has to be something you could actually go out and buy right now. Not some concept car, not a car that doesn't exist anymore. Assume you can afford the maintenance to an extent. (I.e. You have the cash to afford a Veyron, so you can afford to keep it up with the basic maintenance. NOT buying an F1 car and affording to maintain that and race it.) Assume this is your daily driver.

$1000 - E30 or E36

$5000 - E46

$10,000 - This is "kinda nice DD" territory. I tried a Yukon Denali and we all saw how that went. How about a nicer E46, 3G TL Type S, 1G TSX, E39 530i or 540i, etc.

$25,000 - Cayman. Can I swing an S? Probably.

$50,000 - M235i, maybe.

$100,000 - F250 Lariat + enclosed trailer + Spec E46 built by someone who's not me.

$500,000 - See $100k, plus new, German-delivery-ja Cayman S for DD duties. Invest the rest.

$1.5 Million - Ditto.

$1000: Downpayment on a base model Kia/Hyundai, which I would use as an Uber car for ~10 hours a month to cover the payment and insurance (Alternatively, $1000 worth of uber rides, after which I would hopefully have gotten my life back together to buy a decent car)

Because racecar. It's going to be ragged out anyways. But the prices do keep going up, might as well buy a 350z at this point.

Or you know, an E46 M3 if you want some of that high revving great handling action, except with 100 more hp. I picked mine up for not much more than 10k.
