Hypothetical: $80k to spend on 1 or 2 cars

[Timmy G]

Hey guys,

I entered this $2 charity raffle, and the prize is $80k in 1 or 2 cars (it said caravans and boats too, but screw them). The 80k has to be inclusive of on roads and stamp duty.

What would you guys get?

If I kept the cars, I'd probably think of getting:

* 350Z track

* WRX STi (but insurance would prob be too insane)

* Lexus IS200 maybe

* still thinking.

or.. plan b

* buy any car which holds value really well and sell it the next day and take the cash (maybe 70-75k)

I have 1/600,000 chance of winning - wish me luck!

.. what cars would you guys get?

[Duncan]

Lol, I enter this all the time! havent won yet, but Ill keep trying!

whatever you dont take as car you get in gold, so you can melt it down and turn it into a big turbo and manifold to fit it

[CerealKiller]

Evo VI or import the Evo VIII

[Timmy G]

yeah i read something about "gold bullion", i thought it was some sort of joke

[fooey]

Those "raffles" are so dodgy...

The prize is what 80k.. but if you check how many tickets they sell, they probably nett $500,000, give $250,000 away to charity, $80,000 to you and keep the remaining $170,000 in "administration fees"...

Just like in that 60 minutes thing about the Red Cross Bali thing with the RC keeping 1+million for "administration fees".

[Timmy G]

i don't really care how they split the revenue, all i ask is for an 80k car

[Mini Me]

new liberty GT

350Z

BMW Z4

or maybe a turbo quattro audi

[Maxx]

Evo 8 will be cheaper than ever, only about 60000 mark, if that's true, don't worry about the sti

or get a is200, and put a 2jz in it (is300T??), m3 eater!

R34 gtr is a very good choice too

[antuanstylar]

get a datsun 180B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[akeenan]

do the cars have to be brand new?

gtr v spec midnight purple the best you can find... or buy one here and tell the guy you wont buy it unless it has the left over 20k worth of mods on it

[Chef_32]

[aybee]

get whatever merc you can afford then sell it the next day like you said. if you got one with a long waiting list you could probably sell it for more than 80k

Even beta get 8 civic hatch backs for 10k n play dodgem/bumper cars wit em, how fun would that be?

or u can jus get a 350Z!!!!!! which i would prefer =)

[Timmy G]

well you wouldn't be able to get a 2nd hand car, let alone an import in this competition

waiting list is a good idea aybee, if my 1 in 1.2 million chance ticket wins.. i'm doing that!

[Sonic]

Buy a Merc, sell it the next day. If you're going to keep the car, don't worry about the 350Z or WRX (i personally don't think they're worth the hype). An E36 M3 is beaut, or a second hand 911 Porsche, or a second hand RS4 Audi wagon (can burn most Jap imports), or 1/500 of a new Enzo, or a field of 120Y Datsuns.
