What car would you get with $55k?

Jbreen1 · Dec 23, 2009

I know there's been a couple mid-life crisis car threads but I'm curious as to what car or truck you would want with 55-60k. No limitations, just 55k to buy a vehicle. What would it be?

I, personally, would get an A5. Get a slightly used one for ~45 in U.S.A and pay it all up front.

You just got one right? Their pretty sick. And I could do mid 70's but I would feel guilty. So trying to set a limit at 55. And I don't want a payment.

The MSRP of the M3 sedan is $54.8k. Problem solved.

Yes.

I'd probably get a brand new Porsche Cayman or an Audi S5.

I'd actually pick those two over the M3 sedan. If it were an M3 coupe, then it might be a different story.

Certified 911 for a daily driver.

For a weekend or track car - Lotus Elise or Viper. Yes those two cars are diametrically opposed, but they are both great fun.

I was thinking of a Cayman. But I'd only get the S so I would have to drop about 70-75 to get one but I'm thinking it may be worth it since it's a sick car.

Used Gen 1 Cayman S are well within your budget.

Getting a new one is an option because it's a good value for the price I think, but I'm worried about feeling like an ass driving a Porsche. I have a certain stigma associated with Porsche drivers as dumb as it is.

Grab a old 60's muscle car.. fix it up. That's what I would do.

If you drive like an ass, I don't think any car will hide that. Go for a test drive, and it if speaks to you, then nothing else matters.
