$10k, most bang for the buck?

Thanks Accum. I'm smart enough to get the education so far. Translating that into salary jumps... not so much yet, I still have a lot to learn lol. But Yeah, what are you guys doing for a living that funds these toys?

$15/hr at a small Architectural firm plus side work (detailing, computer related, etc.). Save up some $$ and pay for the toys up front. My M3 cost me $16k almost 2 years ago but it was one of those "must buy my dream car NOW!" moments. I was simply saying it's well worth the $$ and doesn't cost much to maintain if you do maintenance on time.



Thinking things through though, I would say my budget is right around $10-13k for a car, but oh well.

The average price of a new car is over $30k, so yeah, I think a $10k car is pretty reasonable compared to something new.
 
i would say the Twin Turbo editions of a 300z and a dodge stealth (3000gt but @ the price we are talking). how bout a 95 XJR? and if i wasn't 6'7 i would have a miata. MSpeed3 costs a little more than the 10 but also needs to be noted

You might not fit in an XJR if you're that tall. I'm under 5' 10" and I can't fit in some years of those. Too bad, yeah..they're a whole lotta wonderful for the $.



I'd also be careful about a MSpeed3, I always expect them to have been beaten on. Those cars sorta concern me....just soooo much performance for so little money; most of the guys I see in them could be over their heads in no time. Kinda like the hot Dodge neons, I try to give them a wide berth in case the driver does something, uhm...ill-advised.
 
I would buy 3 or 4 cars at auction for between $1,800-$2,200. Keep about $2,000 for repairs then re-sale for about $15,000-$18,000 :bigups



Either that or buy 165 shares of P & G and sit on it for 3 or 4 months :hide:
