What would you buy for $25,000

[Pancor]

As a gearhead and tinkerer, I'd have to choose the old girl every time!

[CALL_911]

Compromise and get a GTI or a WRX.

[MX793]

Is the BMW a CPO?

[sandertheshark]

Pre-owned lux.  Not a fiver though.  I'm still hating the lights on those things.

[CALL_911]

Actually, pre-owned 3er. Yeah.

[Soup DeVille]

Just because I could...

[Vinsanity]

Is the BMW a CPO?

Not that particular one. CPO BMW's are pricey. The cheapest CPO E90 I saw was listed for $26k with leatherette upholstery.

[SVT_Power]

For that kind of money, I'd start looking for E39 M5s if they are to be had.

+1

[CJ]

That particular car, with 10 miles on it, is going for a little less tan $25,000.  That gets my money.

[CALL_911]

And yet you flame Trep....

[CJ]

He flames me, so it's all good. 

But seriously, it's a great value.  It's very nice and has quite a bit of power.  It also stops pretty darn quickly.

[Raghavan]

But the fact that you love it is disturbing.

[CALL_911]

But the fact that you love it is disturbing.

Yeah. Bro, you have issues. You are in love with boats and minivans. Iffy Jr.

[CJ]

I show my practical side, before I show my non-practical side.  I prefer to have practicality.

[Soup DeVille]

Think real good about this question before you answer.

What use do you have for practicality?

If he's like Trep, he lusts after minivans so he can taxi around his car-less, loser friends.

[Soup DeVille]

If he's like Trep, he lusts after minivans so he can taxi around his car-less, loser friends.

Then he's just enabling his friends to stay losers. Real friends inspire their friends to get their own car.

Here's my choice: http://www.ferettimotors.com/site/index.php?s=car&id=3232

Black on black, sport equipped, 750i V12 car. 

I love it.

[CALL_911]

I love it.

Me too.

[TheIntrepid]

My friends all have cars.

[Eye of the Tiger]

My friends all have cars.

Then quit it.

[TheIntrepid]

Then quit it.

I didn't say anything. The vehicle I'm currently lusting after is a 2-door.

[the Teuton]

I'd buy an Intrepid.  I hear it's the best car evar made.  Evar. 

[CJ]

But seriously.  My choice is the best of both worlds.  You get a warranty along with some luxurious qualities.  It's no BMW, but it's still a damn nice car.

[TheIntrepid]

Make sure you get the uber-luxury SE model with the class-leading 2.7L V6 sporting 190 horsepower! 2.7 x 190 = 513 miles per hour and 315 miles to the gallon!

You also don't get all the sportiness of a BMW.

I can see why you chose the Azera. It is a great car for the price. You get tons of luxury for a low price.

But do you have any care for a good driving experience? The Azera is pretty capable. It has a powerful V6 and a surprisingly amount of grip. But it is VERY far from anything remotely enjoying. It's a car I can see older consumers driving. Most of the Azera's I see on the road are driven by older people.

Oh, and I'd go for the older luxury cars. I'd probably go for a E46 325i.

Whatever newest one of these I could get...



Or maybe the newest one of these I could get...



Or maybe one of these...



You guys get the idea...
