If you won $150,000 what car would you buy ???

[sixshooter]

As the title says what car would you get ?

[Cobez]

Red VX clubby. My favourite HSV ever made. Then i'd get some headers, zorst, dyno tune and a few little bits, and put the rest into my savings. Say $100,000 of it.

[minux]

I wouldn't buy a car. I'd buy more property.

If I had to buy a car, I'd buy a VN group A

[Cobez]

Wow. I didn't expect YOU to want a VN Group A. Suprising indeed. Besides a VX clubby i could go a VN Group A too, but moreso, a 100% factory stock VL Walkinshaw.

[sixshooter]

@Minux... say you've got enough property !!!

only a 5.7L VN ???

The Elfin would suck your doors off guys !!!

What about a big block supercharged or turboed 1970's Vette or something ?

PoweeeeR !!!

[Cobez]

I'm not a fan of euro cars. They are all ugly. Alot of them, powerful yes, but nice looking in my eyes, no. You can't drive those cars fast on the street, so what's the point in having them? That's how i see it anyway. I'd rather have a car with a little bit of punch, but looks nice in my eyes. Hence why i chose Holdens. I like the looks of the models i mentioned.

I wouldn't buy a euro car just for the track. I could find better things to spend $100,000 on.

You can NEVER have too much property, never.

Mate, the VN group A is now double its original price in just 17/18 short years. In another 20 years it will be a collector. Im not a fan of Corvettes etc they bore me.

All the cars I want are in the 200+ price range. M5, DB9 etc. I like cars to have style if I am going to pay a ****load for them. American Cars have no style except a rare few.

[sixshooter]

How about a GTS with PWR supercharger !

[Cobez]

Not really. Put a nice suit on, slick the hair back (if any), and walk in to the showroom where your car can be purchased through, plonk the cash on the desk, tell the nicest most helpful bloke / lady there that you want him to get the commision for the sale, and watch the rest of the salesmen and women drool and spew that they didn't snap you up as a customer.

LOL... just imagine walking into a Mercedes or BMW showroom unshaven in thongs and stubbies and doing that !!! PRICELESS !!!

[Cobez]

Bwahahahaha, actually, i'd rather do that ^^^, man would that be awesome! Walk in to buy a Lambo in a pair of stubbies, a singlet, thongs, a beer in hand and say: "Gday knackers, i'll take that Diablo over there" *plonks cash on desk* "And hurry it up, i have a local footy game to get to"

Am I the only one to pick up that the GRP A is a 5.0L, not a 5.7L...Penis Kebabs.

Bwahahaha !!! I was waiting patiently for that !!!

[MasterOfReality]

A mid 80's Porsche 930.

Factory wide turbo body, whale tail, Fusch alloys, 3.3 litre turbo 6.

Saw one on Carsales a couple of years ago, modified engine with dyno sheets to the tune of 600hp.

Oh, in black only.

[Kikki]

I wouldn't buy a car. I'd buy more property.

Same here. And if I HAD to buy a car, I would most likely get a Landcruiser and add some mods

[Emackulation]

4WD's fail, so do women driving them.

[Garth]

id have to say a kingswood. with a v8, thinking a 253, that would be my dream car, ofcourse id add a few little luxurys, cruise control, and aircon, and id prob give it brakes, that work.

[sixshooter]

did you win some $$'s? sounds like it to me

LOL I WISH !!! if I did I wouldn't be sitting here asking what to do with it !!!

Only a 253 Kingswood ?

You could get one gold plated with $150K

Why not a LE 308 Monaro ? rare as !!!

lol too true

[knowledge_is_power]

If it had to be spent on non investment type purchases I would say the latest E series GTS and I'd use it to tow an 18ft Kevlar compound ultra light Bulet with a tweeked 3L merc that I'd purchase with the left over money.

[Astranomical]

If I had to spend 150 grand on a car, I'd go with an E Series HSV Grange Mmm, yes.

[Kikki]

lol too true

Shut up. How do you know I'm not an awesome driver who plans on using it so I can take me and my 6 kids bush bashing?

[nicko]

I'd buy some sort of a motorhome. The best i could for $150,000. Then just cruise around Australia

[pedrotski]

VS Stateman Capric,

With a LS7, everything that can be done but still street legal.

And then just pimp the car out.

[50LTRv8]

Gee thris thread ha sgone off topic, but is also an interesting read. Maybe a thread should be created for investment type stuff.

Anyways. There is only 1 car I would buy for that money, that is a 67, 68 fastback mustang with all new running gear and mod cons.

I would then spend the left overs on a nice secure place for it to sleep in
