What would you do with $80 000?
 

Hey everyone,

I think we are all in agreement that the 86 is a great car.... But if you had a budget of $80 000 to buy a new car would you still buy the 86? If not what would you get?

I'm tossing up between the 86 and the Mercedes c250 coupe.... They are completely different cars which is making the decision that much more difficult.

Come on man thats a really stupid question

I would go to casino and win another 20K and then go buy that 911 turbo i always wanted.

Get a BRZ and save the rest to modify it.

if i had 80k to spend on a car, id still get the 86. if it wasnt fast enough for you. 10-15k will turn the car into a monster. If you only care what people think of what brand car you are driving, then buy the merc... im pretty sure sydney Buses are mercs too...

Open up a Tittay place in TX. TX tittays FTW!

The answer depends on what you need out of a car
I am recently married without any kids
I could easily drop $100K on a car, but don't feel I need to
Instead I am going to use my money to invest for the future
All I need out of a car is an engaging drive
The 86 fits the bill and its cheap to boot

spend all of it on coke!

80k i would be getting the small rwd car that i wanted previous to the 86, BMW 135i M sport.
Or a 2 -3 year old Lotus Elise.

I'd be getting a BRZ Limited, wait for good mods in 1 year, and go mod crazy. However if I could spend it on anything I'd pay my Uni tuition :)

oh yeah i would pre order a GTS manual.. and buy a cheap GT manual to hoon around in till the GTS arrives and mod it and go nuts with it.

You're asking an 86/brz/fr-s enthusiast forum, I'm pretty sure you know what most of the answers will be lol.

A used Lotus Exige, there are no new cars for $80k that I'd be interested in.
