What else could you have bought?
Discussion
Easy one this one. Pick four cars in total that you could have bought with the SAME budget that had when you bought your current car.
To spice things up a bit, I think something old, something new, something awful and something blue would be fitting. I shall start...
My current steed
And I could have had;
Something old

something awful
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/814922.htm
and something blue
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2629644.htm
Could you have done any better/worse?

What I have... 2011 Megane Coupe
Something Old... 996 Carrera 2 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2593964.htm
Something New... A1 S-Line 1.4 TFSI http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2521310.htm
Something Awful... Kia Sorento 2.2 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2530811.htm
Something Blue... 1600 Classic http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2563324.htm
Still prefer the Megane as I can't get insured on the others at my age, besides the A1!

Well, I got my 328i touring for £700:
So for that I could have had:
Something nippy:
Something Red:
Something odd
Or a total shed.

Fun thread ...
OK 370Z bought for $170,000
Struggled on New as i seem to be at a bit of a hole in the market so its either this BMW 318i at $145,000 or this RR Phantom Drop Head Coupe at $1,388,888
Old - Merc 230SL (1964) Shame its on a classic plate so can only be driven 28 days a year!
Sporty (and possibly ugly with those wheels) Maser Spyder 4.2
And something blue, an Audi A5 2.0TSI
exchange rate SGD2.0 / GBP1.0
edit to add had a look at what i would get for teh same money in the UK!
Blue 997 Turbo Cab
Bad streach hummer and blinged hummer
New Audi RS6 Avante
and old (ish) a 2008 Audi R8
There are some plus sides to the UK Evidently!

Are my maths failing me? SGD2.0 / GBP1.0 = $170k = £85k for a 370Z?! OK 370Z bought for $170,000

Not really relevant for my current steed, but when I got my 2003 WRX the other options were an Evo, a Leon Cupra R or a Focus RS.
Went for the Impreza as the Leon felt fragile, the Evo had 4.5k service intervals (about 1 months driving at that time) and the RS just didn't feel as nice as the WRX.
Do I regret it..... not for a minute though I wish I'd held out for an STI

I too very nearly got in to a 370Z roadster, seeing how rare they are I do kind of regret not going with it.
excelent cars, i am loving mine, and also do rather enjoy the exclusivity that the car has by its limited numbers sold to date. I have a few followup ramblings on my ownership of it on my origional "whatcar" thread here somewhere.

They didn't, although it's not that uncommon to do a Fiat FIRE engine conversion which came in 999cc 8v, 1108cc 8v, 1242cc 8v & 16v and 1368cc 8v & 16v.Possible this has had such a conversion? The description is pretty poor. Either that or the seller is a thicko.
Current car: Alfa 159
