$100K for a car - which one?

06-09-2006, 02:49 PM

So let's say you had $100K to spend on a car. Which one would you get?

Note: please do say "i wouldn't spend 100K on a car" or the like. This is a hypothetical question.

While ther are a good selection of cars below the 100K level and some nice supercars above 100K the selection at the 100K level is a bit slim.

What's 100K or below? What I'm really looking for are cars at or very near the 100K level. As I mentioned there doesn't seem to be much which is kinda the comment I'm trying to make.

So maybe asking my question is incorrect. What I should really say is:

"How many cars are available at the 100K price point (give or take 10k?)

stock/no mods?

Z06. No brainer. Unless it was supposed to be the family car.

Assuming, no practicality requirement...

I'd negotiate the hell out of the dealer until I can squeeze into a 997GT3.

If that can't be done, then a 997S X51 (or maybe a Z06... hmmmm).

If this ONE car needs to do everything for me and must be new, an E55 AMG wagon.

This all assumes I waas given 100K to spend on ONE car with a gun to my head and I don't get to keep the change.
