I've got 90K, I win 100K - what car do I buy? If it were truly casual, he wouldn't comment on other's replies.

That's what makes it fun. If you're not limited by budget, it's just another boring thread.

Again, if it somehow offends you, no where you can enjoy yourself. Don't bring to conversation down here for those who are enjoying the game with it's rules.

No............but good idea so yes mate I'll allow it!! (delete Mustang as Ford)

It's casual, thanks for somehow allowing it.

Are you being serious or satire?

I'm very confused why a basic thread (sure it may not be perfect etc) to create some discussion among car lovers is bothering you so much?

Sheesh, no rules, has some rules. You're right, I've misunderstood the thread. And I still like the Corvette!

[JasonACT]

I'm just saying, if you win 100K, you don't have to spend it now. I'm glad you all understand.

Spot on.

That's why I limited the amount so no Lambos etc get involved.

Reasonably "normal/affordable" cars only so just a fun thread to hear other options people like etc

Model 3, RS3, M2, Mustang with the supercharger option, Jeep SRT-8

Sorry mate I doubt anyone understands what you are talking about in a hypothetical car lottery thread.

No one ever said said you should spend it now.

Mustang banned as an option!

Agree - especially from reliability and 'someone actually can fix it' standpoint.

For the sake of the discussion, 300 SRT is available new off the showroom floor.

Otherwise It'd be a WNII Caprice w/LS3 would be my pick for sub $100K car if it was 2017.

Stop Splitting hairs & being pedantic..........

Yeah I also thought a pretty simple discussion topic, but yeah ok....

It's interesting as I love the new Supra (I nearly bought one two decades ago as a youngster - loved it's tough look (burgundy I nearly signed but head gasket leaking.....apparently very common) so I bought a Honda Integra instead......it was a fantasticly reliable car but i should have gone the Supra as worth much more now. Stupid me!!) - never seen a new Supra in Hobart.

He's in Adelaide, we can go to The Firm together!

On a serious note I bought a new WS Fiesta CL for $18K back in 2009 as my first car, if I was buying my first car again in 2020 it would be a Kia Picanto GT I reckon, same price.

You know a million times more than me on cars. (not that difficult admittedly). Very knowledgeable.

How can your first car be only 2009!?

Well we exported them to replace a solid performer in the Crown Vic. The Holden Caprice PPV was a much better car in every way.

If I have to buy a car and I’m not allowed to keep any change (I’m not going to worry about currency exchange rates etc since it’s all hypothetical anyway), C8 Corvette Stingray Z51.

I'm yet to decide myself! But I will soon. Hopefully get a range of vehicles to discuss!

RULE- it cannot be a Ford so makes it harder ; )

I'm out.

[lra]

I don’t mind playing this silly game within the OP’s stated rules …….. less than $100K. New. No Fords.
Personal preferences ………. (SUVs and trucks not welcome). Has to be V8 (but no Commodores left), Coupe (Camaro, Mustang, but no Mustang allowed), must be pleasing to look at (scratch Camaro).
I don’t want to play this silly game anymore, there is nothing there. Buy beer, and lament the demise of affordable performance Australian cars.

Jeez I'm copping it just by trying to make a discussion thread when so many is us don't have a great deal to do!

Sorry you found it silly I just thought having some criteria would make it more interesting.....

It's not silly... It's just a bit depressing when you remember all the FPV's and HSV's we could get with great performance for that money.

Sure, there are a few buzz boxes that are just as fast (or faster) but I understand liking a new V8 sedan that you could get new in a manual for under $100k...

The Ford bit wasn't the issue, I just like to have at least 6 wheels or more.
