Hi guys,

As a reward for graduating as a dentist in 2007, my father has offered to buy me a new car under 70K.

The catch is that it has to be a brand new car from the showroom.

My dad is sick of seeing me mess around with second hand imports, including my current r34 Gtt.

I really like the new evo X, but i think its abit out of my budget and I don't want to wait too long to get my new car. The BMW 323i coupe is nice as well, but its a bit out of my budget too. I don't mind a newer model wrx sti (2008 model) but I think its ugly. An r34 gtr would be sweet, but then, it has to be new.

Alternatively, if you can suggest any other cars I have not thought of, please feel free to list them.

Please place your vote in the poll above.

Thanks heaps fella

Dr Dan

Lucky you.

doesnt matter what you get then?!

If you were buying it from own money, I'd say best bang for buck either lancer or sti with outlook to modify

however as its being bought, any car is good.

dont buy a bmw unless its an m3. you wont look back.

my cousin was dreaming about a bmw for 4yrs straight. he used to bug me about dreams of driving a 325 convertible and pulling the chicks etc etc. he sold it after 2 months of buying it and bought a rex. they are true blue pieces of shit.

evo 9 is the pick of the lot.

or sell your car and make the budget 90k and get the new gtr when it lands :(

I think the EVO is the best trade off..

I has the benefits of the AWD and tubro (with better performance than the A4)..

More attractive than the STi

Better performance and appeal than the BM

Tunning potentials are far better than the BM and rx8

Other options include:

Type R

Liberty 3L NA or Turbo (NA is by far a better option, more power and responce than the GT)

Forester GT

350Z

S2000

Alfa Brera - SEX!

..just thought Id complicate things a little bit more.. :D

Sorry had to post this, I can see your problem and would recommend the 350z and pay any difference you can’t negotiate.

However from my GF "you poor little rich kid, cry me a river and tell someone that cares" "Let me guess daddy paid your hex bills too?"

I don't think she saw your problem.

The alfa brera looks hot! Never knew about it till today...

Just curious, I was looking at some pictures. The evo 7, 8 and 9 look almost exactly the same, body wise!

Cant tell you the price off the top of my head.. but you will want the V6..

And deff in AWD..

LOL...YES...daddy paid my uni bills too LOL...jk

Yeah...350z will be my no.1 choice handsdown if it wasn't a 2 seater.

Was just on the mazda website and the rx8 seems to have quite a lot more features than evo 9...eg. leather seats, 9 speaker Bose sound system, Xenon headlights. But evo definitely more torque and power.

there's a topgear episode where they have a mercialago I think being driven by a racing driver and clarkson is running after him in an evo and the lambo can't get away from it...good little cars. But then again, keep the 34, mod the shit out of it and get something nice a luxury to drive round as a daily :D

don't think he'll have a problem with that Kris, considering he's becoming a Dentist ;)

maybe he can donate it to the Human Fund....

thats "The Human Fund, Fund for people"

if you need to know where to deposit the 70g - send me a cheq....errr....a pm >_<

i say either a rex or an evo man...they are "family" cars....so your wife/gf wont complain :D

    • As I wait for parts to be delivered, I have managed to procure via a contact a R32 Nistune ECU......for now I just want to monitor what the car is doing but eventually.......who knows where we go 😂
    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
