I like how this turned out into a match of which car will get more chicks lol. It does not matter what you drive if you have game.
QFT...however that was not the point.

No in reality it's probably a pretty damn nice house. Most of the uber rich really don't buy new either.
A CL600 or 55 would be right up there alley here with a few miles on it.
It's the renters and lower income that seem to pour all their funds into their cars and constantly buying new while selling the old one at a loss.
But yeah I am sure you get that a lot rolling around in a pretty old mustang now. Terminator or not, most folks look at old mustangs as low hanging fruit.
cash dude. under the radar. Or over financed with cosignors.
i don't know who you know.
Personally I know a recruiter that just made 20% of 35 senior engineers first year salary this quarter. personally i have known a few billionaires.
he has baller house and just drives around in a old turbo porsche.
Again, there are different types of millionaires/billionaires and they spend their money differently. However, a "lower income" person can't just walk in and buy a $150K Mercedes. But they sure as hell can with a $20K Mercedes. Can a millionaire/billionaire buy that same $20K car? Yep. Some may, some may not. But again, no "lower income" person is going to be able to buying a new high end Mercedes. I'm sure they may LOVE to, but they just won't be able to get financed for it. Same with the other high end luxury cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche (high end), Rolls, Maybach. The difference is, a used Maybach will still be waaaay out of reach for the regular Joe. So guess who is buying used Maybachs? That's right, millionaires/billionaires. They buy new AND used. The difference with Mercedes is, once used they fall into the regular Joe's budget so the average guy can buy it, but the "rich" guy may be interested in the car too. That's where the wannabes like to sneak in.
Hah yeah. The CL600 wasn't even that fast (for the price range for sure) 0-60 in 4.6-4.8 in most tests. Hell the new Mustang GT beats it, and it doesn't cost $130k new. I haven't driven one, but I've also gathered that they handle like crap for the most part.
Now the Mercedes SL Black Edition, that's more like it. Not available for $20k used yet though.
SUBARU LEGACY 2.5GT Limited Sedan
Nothing too amazing but I'd try to aim closer to 10k then 20k, gets AWD and a turbo 4 cylinder for decent milage/power. I like there clean look, probably be treated alot better then any STi/EVO that someone had.
EVO IX for blown up goodness![]()
Oh definitely, if only there was a bigger used market on these. It seems there is none for sale in Chicago, and if they are, they are all modded or have a bad history. On the other hand, the good ones are going for 25k + which is too much![]()
What qualify as a Good DD? and when you said power, how come you're looking at s2000? that thing have no power to speak of and is terrible for daily driving because of the super stiff suspension, no storage for anything, easily vandalized.I'm currently in the market for a used car for around 20k. I'm looking for something sporty, with good handling and power. I have considered many cars from G35s, Mustangs, to M3s. I can't make up my mind.
After doing some research and a few test drives, I'm now leaning towards a slightly used S2000, but I'm not 100% sure its the best choice. It needs to be a good daily driver, so I don't know if the S2K is a good choice considering that. (Snows in Chicago)
If you were in my shoes (meaning that your looking for sporty/power/good DD), what would you get? Also explain why.
Thanks.
easily vandalized.
Rag top.???
What makes any particular car more easily vandalized?

If you're just looking for Sporty/Good Handling/Power, I'd say the 2011 Mustang V6 for $22k. It met all of your requirements, the S2k doesn't.
Rag top.
It take less than 2 seconds for some asshole to cut the ragtop and walk away. Yet it cost you thousands to replace and it's not something you can ignore and replace later such as someone keying your car...rain, snow, sleet, etc... get in the way when you don't have a roof.

Excellent choice but I can't afford the maintenance on those beasts.E39 m5.
