What would you buy for 40K ?

[wackojacko]

After so many different suggestions on the "where would your 75k go ?" thread.... I'm intrigued as to what people would go for with around 40k.

So hypothetically if you had 40k to spend on a car / cars what would you buy ?

I'd be buying a 996 GT3 in speed yellow obviously !
And an 840i as a daily wallet rapist ....

Over to you PH.

erm.... deposit on a house...

What part of "if you had to spend £40k on a car" are you struggling with?

V8 Vantage for me.

You'd buy a deposit on a house ......
Opposed to putting a deposit down on a house ......

Something wrong with that transaction

[Poprin]

I'm struggling with the part that says 'What would you buy for 40K'

And it's still a deposit on a house.

Easy - TVR Sagaris (can be had sub £40k)

[kambites]

Hmm, maybe a nice 328GTS as a weekend car?

You see, that's what happens if you don't read the whole post.

f it was going to be my only car then a Nissan GTR. If it was going to be a weekend toy while I still used the Integra as a daily then probably a Sagaris.

How's your week been? Why not just use this thread as a blog, to furnish us with the rest of the details of your life. What are you having for dinner tonight?

I'll take one of these please:

997 Turbo for me please.

[KaraK]

Assuming my current fleet was to remain as-is and this would be an additional car then it would probably be a DB9

I think i'd have to go with an '3-car ///M Garage'

E46 M3 Coupe
E36 M3 Convertible
E39 M5 Saloon

...all blue. (Estoril/LeMans)

I suspect you've missed the point not just of this thread, but of the whole website. Try here fella: http://www.homemove.co.uk/forums. The existence of people like you on this site I find quite odd, and you seem to be increasing in numbers recently.

Anyway...I'd go for a 355 (and pretend to forget about the running costs...).

[paulrussell]

I'd buy a TVR Sagaris.

[BoostMonkey]

You could get a 2010 GT-R for that kind of money.

Well thats what I would do anyway, but i'm saving a bit more for the 2011 at the moment.
