New FT-86 or old C6, z4m, etc..
 

Hi Everyone!

For a while now, I've been patiently waiting for the FT-86, but was very disappointed when I found out it was going to be a re-badged Scion. I currently have a 2006 Scion tC and can't stand for the build quality. The cabin and internals feel cheaper than a corolla. Everything rattles or squeaks and is overall very disappointing.

Anyways, after about a week of googling and finding updates, I'm beggining to recondsider the FT-86. I want something sporty, that not every other teenie bopper has, yet economical on mileage as a daily driver; within $25 - $30k. I've narrowed it down to the following cars:

1. Subaru 216a ? (not sure on build quality compared to Scion)
2. 2006 Corvette Coupe (400hp + good gas mileage)
3. 2006 z4 M coupe (330hp and very rare)
4. Listen to father and put 30k on a house instead
5. Any other suggestions?

^:laughabove:

Good luck with #2 and #3! :clap:

Go for #4 instead! It is better to buy a good house rather a cool car.

Definitely the house.

Don't buy a house as an investment. Buy it because you want to live in a house. If you don't want to live in a house, stick those $30K in a well-diversified mutual fund (tip: Vanguard) instead.

Oh, and 2 and 3 are ridiculously more expensive than owning an FR-S

5. Invest in gold.

Listen to you father


Not with prices where they are now. :confused0068:

you know, I love how nobody tells him to wait and see how the interior of the FRS Will be like before he goes off in making $$$ conclusions. I mean, not buying a (possibly) amazing car for the money because of the brand's image? I mean, does he not know that its two companies making the car, which none of them are scion? I'm just saying, hold your horses and wait until you count your chickens.

Damn, I was late into that game. How about silver?! lol

Buying precious metal in the market is a very dangerous investment option. You REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING before you make any purchase....

What enc0re said is also true. Buying a house as an investment in the current market is not right. Saving it for long term guarantee investment is probably better than spending on cars, especially if this 30k is all you have at the moment.

C5 z06
Roughly same price with more power and possibly better mpg

You're giving the smartest advice. Want.FR-S is out of touch with the investment markets.

How is it that you're ahead of everyone? Your peers are clueless. You seem to know something.

You can sleep in a car, you can't drive a house lol

(go for the house...it's a smarter investment)
