As the title suggests, I'm after some suggestions on buying a new car meeting the following criteria

Must be from a dealership, no older than 5 years, anything up to $40k and the preferences are:

1.Audi

2.Saab

3.Merc

4.BMW

5.Other suggestions

Pretty much in that order. So throw up suggestions/photos of some of the nicer looking models in that price range :O

Cheers

Dez

new or secound hand? 40 grand wont get a new coupe but will get something like a e46 328 coupe or even a e36 m3

new or second hand doesn't matter, as long as its not over $40k, and is from a dealership...obviously the newer the better, but obviously with a limit of $40k the newer you go the further down the ladder you get as far as models go

Honda Accord Euro.

Go drive one - you'll be impressed at how nice they are.

Otherwsie a Golf GTi

Saw a Golf GTi tonight and thought it might fit into the crieteria actually...what are they going for new/2nd hand ?

This isn't for me by the way, it's for my brother with this job he's just landed...

I'm also suggesting an F6 Typhoon....Not sure what they're going for 2nd hand (BA/BF) but if they can be had for under $40k in good condition, one of those in black, with the black wheels, they do it for me nicely...

I just don't think $40k is enough to get one of the nice (what I deem nice anyway) Euros like the Mercs/Beamers etc...and Saabs dont really do anything for me..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
