Time To Upgrade

[candy33]

Hi guys.

I think i've come to the stage to trade up and get something better.

I've just starting to look for a new car and i'm not sure of what to get.

I'm gonna sell either my 32 gtr or my r33 showcar and with the money i get from the sale of one, i'll have roughly 50-55k to spend.

I'm starting to get over the whole 'speed' thing, and want something maybe with slightly abit more class, yet still be a sports coupe.

I know my budget can get me a R34 gtr...but i think that its not much different then what i already have, just newer.

And i'm after something that looks a little more exotic, as i will still have one of my skylines for the speed fix.

So far i've contemplated on a

94 Honda NSX

2006 Nissan 350z

97 Toyota supra TT.

00 porsche boxter.

97 S8 Mazda RX7

or perhaps buy 2 cheaper cars.

Thats all i can think of at the moment, but even though i'm young i think its time to get a 'slightly' more mature ride, and not a car thats often associated with a 'hoon'

Any opinions or suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks

Tai

Ok something classy but not into speed so much ??? But most of the cars you listed are precisely that...! Considered a BMW M3 ? maybe an Audi...maybe an older Porsche...top cars

I did say classy, but i didn't say slow.

If you notice most of the cars i listed are 2 seaters or N/A with the odd exception of the RX7 and supra, being they are just newer cars than my skylines.

As for the BMW and audi, not really my cup of tea as i would still like to stay Japanese if i can.

Thanks for your opinion, i don't mind the old porsche the one like in Bad boys the movie, but i still think its abit out of reach for me.

if you get the boxster, will you cut my hair for free?

[candy33]

LOL.. yeah they are pretty gay cars.. but i didn't yet say i was gonna buy one.. Just contemplating.

[DNGRUS]

Tai cant believe ur considering of selling ur r33, u just finished it! Outter ur list i would go for any of the first 3.

[SLYNE]

rx7 S8 or 350z FTW!

or in opposite direction...

06 Audi A4

01 Merc CLK430

98 Lotus Elise

02 BMW X3

04 BMW Z4

there some tough cruisers!

good luck with your choice

'96 mitsubishi gto - awd v6 TT leather interior, would have some change left over too. not that common too

[eMsta]

z4 2.5 manual - classy, got enough grunt for a 2.5 straight 6

lotus elise - quick car, but not much interior wise

1995 nsx - classy and quick - but quite big-ish

1994 320 or 500sl convertible - now thats real class, spesh with the AMG options

you got to go the nsx..

Awesome interior, sexy, that engine note, unique, and drive incredible.

Also, have you seen the Do-luck kit for the nsx??

[Gazzilla]

I think the Honda NSX, even tho Im not a Fan of Honda's, Id have to Admit the NSX is a sweet Ride, and it sounds awesome too. that Black one with the Do-luck kit is off tits. and their pretty rare these days too.

my suggestions:

V35 350GT skyline

Audi S4 - that's the 2.7TT version of the A4

Merc CLK320

BMW 330ci

clearly the pick of that bunch would have to be the V35.. have a stroll through the V35 section of hte forums for soem more info on exactly how much of a bargain it can be considering the features it packs - or better yet do a google search for reviews on the "infiniti G35 coupe" from the USA (same car but more reviews)

EVO? 930 Turbo porsche?

First of all, what do you do for a job to have $55k to spend on a car being so young?

Secondly, if you want to stay Japanese, the 350Z or the 2006+ 2.5L Subaru Liberty GT would be my pick for your preferences. Personally, I'd prefer the Liberty GT but only with the 2.5L turbo motor (2006+). They are AWD, look classy, come with leather seats, sunroof (optional), well set out interior with touches of chrome, good instrument panel with tacho sweep on start up, illuminated double centre cup holders, have plenty of go and 4 doors. No contest!

stingray??

clicky

if you get a mercedes you'll have to take up golf and listen to abc radio really loud

[stolen_s15]

With that budget I would get an E36 330ci, one of the nicest cars getting around.

my boss owns one and has had soooo many electrical problems with it over the years. i guess the more automated gadgets on board, the more things to go wrong

[jake33]

older model E55 like this for example. mofo badass!
