If you had a budget of $65,000 for cars, what would you buy?

Yep. MSRP on the 2012 Corvette Coupe is $49k, and MSRP on the 2012 Civic DX is $15k and change... and only fools pay MSRP.
especially if you have cash... you can usually get cars at invoice or less with cash. No, as opposed to the Corvette convertible...

40K on a decent Diesel pick up.
The rest dump into an S14 show/track car. S15 conversion with either a 2JZ or LSX motor in it. either one would be far from stock lol

Audi RS3 if they would sell it here. Since that won't happen, I'd probably go used Elise and some sort of cheap hatchback for snow/hauling. I'd be one of the only clowns DD'ing an Elise :lol:

you're doing it wrong :readthethread:
So you'd buy a new GTI for how much, 30K max, then a used Elise, or you buy a base R for $35K and then get an elise for $30K. << that would be hot.

Either new M3.
OR...
A new mustang 5.0 (base) and a lightly used 2008-2009 BMW 328xi/x-drive.
Should put me around 55-57k. Use the rest to start turning the 5.0 into a track beast.
Provides a nice comfortable awd daily driver and a car to beat the shit out of on the strip and track.

Or buy any 2002+ NSX with $15,000 to $20,000 left over for mods.
With $65,000 on a vehicle purchase, there would be no other option. I would gladly DD an NSX.

NSX would be pretty sweet, I tend to forget that they exist.

First car a Datsun 510, 240 or 260Z, or maybe something a bit newer and cheap to make into a track car like a first gen Miata.
Second car would be a hard decision. Test drive the Golf R and have a bunch of money left over to make it the way it should have been done or find out if I could really deal with a larger car and get a used...
