$20,000 Challenge

[omicron]

I'm seeing several of these '71~'73 Riviera Boat tails going for $6000~$12,000.

[SVT666]

Well, I sat in a G37S this weekend and instantly fell in love.  So I'm going to say one of these:

2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe

[Payman]

Have you seen the movie Crank, with Jason Statham? I love his Riv in that movie. Too bad he parked it on an escalator.

[TBR]

1993 Porsche 968 Coupe or 1990 Porsche 964 C2

I can't possibly decide.

[The Pirate]

1990 Porsche 964 C2

This one for me.

[Sigma Projects]

I think i'd have fun grabbing this one http://www.megatrd.com/N041.html for $5800 USD+shipping and then modding it with the rest of the cash. I just kind of have a soft spot for this guy, saw one in my area and just really stands out well on the road.

Overpriced but tempting:

All my choices are dependent on if I can keep my current Protege5 as a daily driver.  I'm just going to assume that I can.

Multiple choices? This is easy.

Audi S4 V8

Audi S8
http://newyork.craigslist.org/jsy/ctd/1340235587.html

BMW M5 E39
http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/ctd/1340214955.html

BMW 745i
http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/ctd/1341175518.html

List is endless man. Pretty much any car I want is within that price range. Prob under 15K if I look hard enough.

[Raza]

745i?

[sportyaccordy]

745i?

Why not? They're beautiful, quick and luxurious. I-Drive is a pain but who really cares anyway?

I'll give you quick.  The other two are just...they're...it's just that........no. 

Luxurious compared to some cars, sure, but compared to other cars in its class?  The materials weren't as good and the ride was crashy.  The 750i looked much better than the 745i, though.  I really liked the 7 series after the facelift.

The contemporary XJ is a much better used choice.

W220 S-Class is ugly & dated style wise. Def. has a better interior. Had a better one in 2000. Also looks big in a bad way. A8 is alright but doesn't really get the blood pumping.

I have always loved the 745i. It looks Italian, has incredible road presence and to me feels very luxurious. The deal w/the ride is unfortunate, but sometimes you have to pay the cost to be the boss.

I would rahter do a 5 series than an XJ.

It looks Italian?  It looks like it's been in an accident.
