Another one of these?

Damn, dude, how hard is this?

1 - a reasonable daily, which if is your first car, spend 5k or less, section a couple grand to maintain it.
2 - is you MUST, a project... again, all told you can do this for 5k or less, section a few grand to work on it.
3 - SAVE THE REST, in fact hide it before Obama takes it from you and gives it to a crackwhore with 11 kids.

Whatever you do, don't buy a newer BMW. I would know, I work on them everyday. They aren't cheap to run. :-/

Find a used G if you want something nicer. Unless you want to build something. Buy a cheaper car and get to work! :)

You can find pretty nice E46 M3's for less than 30k. I'd suggest test driving something you might want, if you can find a car you think you might want at a dealership go for a test drive. You don't have to buy that one, but get a feel for a car you're looking at. Good luck, and make sure you get what you want. :2f2f:

Actually since you're in Canada...I want a JZX100 Chaser/Mark II. Whats the going rate for one of those up north?

[PureRush]

This whole thread is useless unless you specify what your goal is for the car. Do you want a higher hp car that's still reliable or do you want a car with better gas mileage. Are you gonna keep it stock and spend all your money on the sticker price or are you gonna go with a cheaper car like a 240 and mod the shit out of it?

scion frs.

[FRpilot]

and here i was going to suggest a used e92 3 series coupe. that's a car i want, but i don't think i would blow 40k of my own money for a new one. easier to say when it's someone else's money.

this is more than likely a troll, but with 35k buy a house. you won't listen, but it's worth repeating anyways.

[!Zar!]

e46 m3.

Done and done.

[drift freaq]

e36 M3 or 328is. Don't cost an arm and a leg. Are a lot more reliable than newer BMW's. Make a great RWD daily driver. Bank the rest of the money and save for a house.

[simmode1]

Find a 5spd IS300/Altezza for under $10k and save the rest. Reliable, classy and not enough performance to get you into too much trouble for a first car.

Fiat 126.

Obviously you signed up on Zilvia for a reason... Buy a 240, Z, or G.

Trolls.

And as with the last of these "I have a ton of money and no clue, tell me what car to buy" threads, the OP has not been heard from since the first day

[ravinaziankid]

Do kids these days really have that much trouble deciding what cars to get, even with a large budget of 35k?

I would just get a crappy civic if this is your first car and invest the rest because cars are not the best thing to throw money at.

5k Buy a nice stock s14

20k down payment on house

10k into savings

The only way to get a newer BMW is brand new, with the BMW warranty. Other than that, if you have money to support it, get an E46 M3, or an E36. ;)

Or if you want to be dumb like me, get an E39 530i sport 5spd.

He's 20 and probably in school. Lets shelf the house plan for a few more years. OP please dont blow everything on a car. Savings will be your friend.

Still not a single word from the OP... weird
