Need advice: New Car

[Dudewithoutapet]

I'd go with the friend of a friend's car and save the money for other things, but then I'm not sure what you are doing and maybe money is definitely not an issue (future house?).

audi S5? 😀

CPO 2004 A8's are around 40ish.

Fully loaded 335Ci coupe. If I had US$55k to spend a car, that's what I would spend it on.

<---Only thing I suggest is chargers because I can!

LOL, he's in the market for a Porsche, and you're recommending a Dodge? 😛 Even if he can get past the 4 doors, he won't get past the shitty interior and handling.

An 2006 M3 SMG (that way you won't have to learn manual) or perhaps an 07 335i

Only if you drop some more on it to fit an LSD.

the boxster consecutively beats the other roadsters in performance reviews. unfortunately, they're not the best when it comes to reliability. that's an amazing price for an '00. hell, i'd get it and sell it if i had the chance.

if it were up to me i'd get a new porsche cayman. it has great reviews and CR has shown it to have excellent reliability (although it's fairly new, so who knows about the long-term reliability.) that car runs from 48k-60k.

if you read the reviews, there's an issue with it considering it performs almost on par with the 911 carerra (i think it was the carerra.)

check out motor trend's article a few months back. it compares the boxster, the TT, and the Z4 and the porsche comes up on top in almost all aspects.
