If you could buy any car under $200,000...what would it be?

xxballinboi786 · 08-24-2008, 11:33 PM

my dad is trying to decide on a weekend car...I've come up with the F430, the Gallardo, the R8, or the Aston Martin DB9..what would you guys choose?

aut0sh0cker · 08-24-2008, 11:34 PM

get a R8, dump $10k into it (wheels, drop, etc) and invest the rest of the money...

quagmire · 08-24-2008, 11:45 PM

Corvette ZR1 and invest the other $90-100K.

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 08-24-2008, 11:50 PM

This isn't a realistic question for most of us.
It's all personal preference and i'm sure your dad doesn't give a damn what we have to say.

isn't a bad idea but again. . . your dad is going to do what he wants.
F430, the Gallardo, the R8, or the Aston Martin DB9 are all great cars. . .
Not really in the same price range though.
For $200k i would get a few cars. . .

xxballinboi786 · 08-24-2008, 11:53 PM

only reason im asking is to make sure we're not overlooking a car that is possibly better than the 4 we are looking at now..

ZR1

hl0m4n · 08-25-2008, 12:10 AM

hey man as i said in the previous thread what happen to your 335? congrats on the sl550. what is the silver arrow edition difference and since it's 09 i assume its the new body style?

for the money i would do:
1. z06
2. gt2/turbo
3. db9
4. r8
5. m6

personally not a fan of lambo/ferrari so that isn't on my list

may i ask what your dad's dd is?

fobunited · 08-25-2008, 12:23 AM

200k most likely won't get you a 430

Sarcasm aside, I know where you're coming from. It might seem that way, but I always come to this site for anything car related.

Hows it going bro? We gave the 335 back and got the SL. Yup, it's the new
body style. The difference with the Silver Arrow is the interior and the paint on the exterior as well as the body kit and the side vents. I put pictures up a good while ago. You can check'em out if you'd like.

Dad's daily drivers are the new lexus LS 600 and LX 570.

xxballinboi786 · 08-25-2008, 12:33 AM

i realllly like the R8...is there usually a markup or can you go to a dealer and order one?

Zeiss · 08-25-2008, 12:44 AM

Amir87 · 08-25-2008, 12:47 AM

2001 360 Spider 6 speed ( F1 not as fun) with Tubi Exhaust FTW!

epbrown · 08-25-2008, 01:26 AM

I'd go classic - BMW M1. I think they're still below the $200k mark.

san~man · 08-25-2008, 01:47 AM

The R8 is well under 200k, but the Aston and Ferrari will be close. The Gallardo would most likely be over.

If dad just wants to ball, how about a Bentley Cont. GT or a Maserati GT/S? They may not "perform" in the same league as the 4 you listed, but they're "eye catchers" too.

IMO, the R8 would be the last choice, no matter how good it may perform.

ok ok. in that case then, DB9. We were all coming outta the club last night from area, and everyone was standing on the streets waiting for valets to get their cars, and a DB9 pulls up right in the middle and everyone just stops what theyre doing and just stares as these 2 kids get in and drive away lol. definitly a head turner in person.

asdflkijd · 08-25-2008, 01:58 AM

Maserati GranTurismo S
Corvette ZR-1
ACR Viper
Porsche 911 Turbo
Lexus LF-A (Don't know the price yet, but it's supposed to shake up the autoindustry)
Nissan GTR (This is probably the cheapest and one of the best cars you can get for the money.., just have him buy two of these, one for him one for you

)
Audi R8..

08-25-2008, 02:22 AM
