Bodyboarder81 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) As a few of you know I sold my beautiful zed with the plan of taking on a gt4 ( and a financial commitment with it ! ) However my friend is keeping the gt4 for a bit longer , so looking into a new car . 30-35k max budget Nothing really old Top of my list is a nice e92 m3 competition pack . ......other than that I'm a little stumped !! Any suggestions ? Edited January 20, 2017 by Bodyboarder81 Quote

valy Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 a few good options out there as we all know but if I were in your place I will get something that will not depreciate in value...not great loosing 5k or 10k in a year or two...stretch a bit the budget and get a GTR R35...can't go wrong with that I suppose Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 The problem is I'm finding that for a 911 gtr or other such cars .... They are above my budget of max 35k and even at 40k you are getting the cheapest/ worst ones to pick from . My reasoning for an m3 is , v8 , Rev to 8300rpm , get a good choice of low mileage ones in my budget , already lost a huge amount in depreciation , dct is pretty flipping good ! Quote

Looks to be a great example though 1 Quote

Humpy Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Buy my zed until your mate eventually decides to give you the Gt4 1 Quote
mrt Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Not by the time you,ve modified it Josh ! Tried a Matt black Brabus 6.3 one last year...spun it 180 degrees getting out of the bl**dy garage forecourt. 1 Quote

Jetpilot Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Sadly and only personally there is nothing in that budget I would want to part with the cash for. So going to go left field, Honda Nsx, be a great car to own, you wont loose any money and still suitably different to enjoy the scene 2 Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Grudz. ^ really like those , but being fibreglass I would really worry how it would hold up having to live outside . Edited January 29, 2016 by Bodyboarder81 Quote

Think I need to find / save another 5k , as at 40k you get a lot more choice . Quote

Jetpilot Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Buy well on a nsx and you might make 5k good luck and if you manage to dig out those bits, please let me know. 1 Quote

How long are you expecting to keep it? I wouldn't be worrying too much about it unless you are going to keep it for quite some time. Quote

Humpy Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 You now regretting selling your zed now Josh or was this part of the plan?? Quote
nissanman312 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Josh the 2 people I know who owned e92 m3s sold them feeling mehhhhhh I haven't driven one so it's just friends opinion unfortunately However I can vouch for the r35 Save up a bit longer buddy there fricking awesome And it's not going to lose much 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Josh you're so close to R35 GTR money that for me, that's were I'd be aiming. My guess is the R35 will hold its value well (a lot better than some of the other suggestions made) and be easy enough to re-sell. Not to mention it is a massively capable car which is highly tune-able should you decide to modify it. 1 Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 You now regretting selling your zed now Josh or was this part of the plan?? No don't regret selling as I think I would have just kept plowing money into the zed and still not be 100% happy with it ......... Quote
Deano94 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) You'll never loose money on a nsx Gtr r32 Gtr r34 Also like the exige and evora.
