if i gave you 25k to buy a car
 
and it has to be an automatic, which car would you get?

xantonin 03-16-2011 05:39 PM

That's horrible.

Could I take the cash instead?

I'd rather have $15k for a manual than $25 for an automatic.

andygee 03-16-2011 05:42 PM

noppeee. its gotta be automatic. and u can also use the leftover cash for mods. but its all gotta go to the car >:)

alexmotrix 03-16-2011 06:05 PM

for sure I'll look for a DSG transmission like mitsubishi lancer ralliart, just don't know about the price tag of these, everyone I talked to who have dsg on those LIKE it pretty much and won't get a manual transmission back

Giccin 03-16-2011 06:10 PM

Am I allowed to use that 25k as a downpayment for another car? lol

aliphian 03-16-2011 06:16 PM

Probably a 93-up Supra. Then I would use the leftover cash to convert to manual. Then I would sell the Supra and buy an FT-86.

yeah you can deff afford one with 25k... used can be around 18k...ill deff get a dsg as well...

Zaku 03-16-2011 06:26 PM

25k if I use it as a down I'll use it on a GTR that's a good choice in cars I think, It only comes in Auto lol. and If I'm not allowed for down I wouldn't mind an Auto VW GTI MkVI. My choice are for if I can only use this money on cars 2010 and 2011 years

FT-86GOD 03-16-2011 06:27 PM

AUTO?? WTF.... I'll Have to keep it oldskool then if its an auto so 64 Chev Impala... If it didnt have to be Auto i would pick something completely different and certainly Japanese..

Giccin 03-16-2011 06:30 PM

BMW 335is (I can find a person who can get me a brand new one for about.. 36k with all paperwork. :P)

Screw it, if I'm not going to get my manual I'll go buy a luxery performance. LOL

aliphian 03-16-2011 06:32 PM

My plan is still the best. Shall I PM you my address so you can send the check?

yeah come to think of it, that would be pretty clever. that would be my second choice (after less expensive paddle shifter)...then the rest would be nice easy payments ;)

After the quote sign on a person's pose theres a little peice of paper with a " mark on it. You click on that (tells the forum that you want that quote and another) then you can click on another person's post with the quote icon and both quotes will be inserted into the typing box.

So essentially, " means multi-quote. When you're at your last quote, hit the (quote) icon on the bottom right corner of the post. :)

xantonin 03-16-2011 08:00 PM

I'd get a truck then.

Probably a Ford Super Duty. Diesel all the way!

Midship Runabout 03-16-2011 09:34 PM

Probably a dakota. 5.2 or 4.7. 4wheel drive. Maybe a tundra or ram but I like smaller trucks.

NESW20 03-17-2011 01:54 AM

why do you ask?

Fortunate Few 04-01-2011 04:40 PM

probably a fiesta

Franisco 04-01-2011 10:34 PM

Autoblog posted some info on the Fiesta ST today. Looks promising..180hp..2500ish lbs?

Calais 04-02-2011 04:48 AM

i'd get an IS200 with 25k here i'd be able to get a nice clean one with very low kms, that or a supra or rx-7, but they wont be in as good as condition as the IS

impulse 04-02-2011 03:16 PM

If it had to be automatic, I guess I'd buy a Mazda 2.

Mr.Jay 04-02-2011 10:42 PM

e46 M3

Laguna Seca Blue please

Have you read about the Mazda2 auto? They don't sell it with the dual clutch like the Fiesta.

Well that's a strange but strict requirement :iono:. Uh, a Leaf?

When I saw automatic, I just thought of having a daily driver just to get me anywhere that wasn't used or expensive.

Kinda assuming that I get to keep the money leftover too <_<

whaap 04-03-2011 02:20 AM

Porsche Cayman with pdk. I'd gladly pay the difference.

lol i just realised after reading your comment there was a auto requirement, hmm then an Lexus IS300 or SC400

1GoZoom 04-07-2011 02:59 AM

I can actually think of a couple.

Ford SVT Lightning - Buy for 12K, put 3k in the motor and 5k in the suspension, 2k into the exhaust and 3k into wheels, tires, and appearance.

Plymouth Road Runner with TorqueFlite Auto (better than the 3-speed stick and cheaper) - Would cost damn near 25k and would be worth every penny.

Jeep CJ if used for Rock Crawling - 2k for a hunk of crap and 23k making it worth its while. lol.
