What Car Will You Buy Next?

[Smurf]

Hey all,

Just wondering what everyone plans on buying next. I now have a R33 GTS25T. I have loved owning it and may own it for a little while to come.

I am thinking ahead to my next purchase. Now that I am 27 and have a job where I need to mix with extremely wealthy people I'm not sure I can continue to hold own an import. Mainly because of the poor image it has. I'm not saying the common view is right, it just will work against me.

If image didn't come into it then I would like a heavily modified R33 GTR that looks almost stock.

I am thinking second hand C200. Maybe a 2003 model. A little luxury, high quality. Not too many thrills though.

My other thought is to buy a Q35 Skyline Coupe. At the moment there aren't to many and most people don't associate them with the import scene. On this note do you think alot more will come in soon and the price come down?

I'm not trying to sound like a snob or offend anyone it's just a reality for me to succeed.

What does everyone else plan on buying for their next car? Another skyline or a bigger car because you now have a family or.............?

Cheers

Don't worry about what other people think. Get a heavily modded GTR!

[racsov500]

another r31

I think being your own person and a test of character is what it comes down to. Follow ur heart...

I understand what ur saying about the importance of fitting into that crowd, maybe the work car can be a boring expensive thing, n the GTR can be the make me feel alive and real on weekends car.

Hey BazaR33,

I tend to agree with you it's just a difficult position to be in.

I'm really after other peoples opinions on what they plan on buying.

Cheerio

[BazaR33]

Well, for my next car, wouldn't mind a R33 GTR or R34.

[Black_CSR]

RX7 Series 7 hehe

-SeSaR

[BazaR33]

Hmmmm i would also add S7 RX-7 to my list!!!

[fully_sik_uleh]

I wanna buy a commodore bro, I had one totally blow me away today in my gts-t r33.

[kralster]

I'm thinking of getting rid of the r34 and getting a 2003 or so liberty wagon.

I really have no need for a sports car as there is no where to drive where i live and the speed limit is 100 so it's really quite pointless.

Just like when i had my old motorbike there was no where to have any fun.

Smurf- Don't be too soft.. Show some character. Go all out VIP on a Lexus or Merc

Me- Will most likely be a drift spec Cefiro or try and bring in a mint DR30 before they become too exy.

Hi Smurf,

Mercedes, porsches etc are nice and a lot of executives and things own one, where i work there are about a dozen or so combined in the car park, our CEO's car is a $400,000 Merc. Personally i dont like it.

My Job is of National Sales Manager, my salary is 6 figure, my "company" car is a R33 series 2, I have had other cars yet always wanted a skyline. I find it to be a talking point within the business world and not a blocker to making contacts or making deals.

I have had no problems with taking people to meetings or the like, so I would highly recommend following your desires and owning one rather than giving into the perceived "signs of success".

Cheers

[MR R33]

id love to get a r34 gtr but il most likely get like a current hsv clubsport or a beema m3 convertible

[dangerous_daveo]

3L subi liberty, top line one. They are heaps nice.

Or, a chaser, because its what I wanted but had to settle with a cefiro.

Or, V35 sedan, I quite like them.

In that order.

However if I won lotto it would be a different matter

[ECR033]

JZX100 Chaser is an interesting one that's been crossing my mind lately as a potential 'next car'...

[Wink]

RX7 Spirit R

Faster than a R34 GTR round the track..

[_8OO5TED_]

After my R33 GTS-t, id say one of the following;

1 x Modified R33 GTR

1 x Audi Quattro A4 1.8T

1 x 2001+ BMW 330ci

Judging by how much pain and suffering I went through in deciding what car to buy when i got my R32 GTS-T sedan, it's pretty much impossible to guess what i will get next time. I don't even have a budget since I don't know how long before I will change out my R32! Some potential used car candidates that spring to mind (in a very rough estimate of least to most expensive):

Toyota Aristo 3.0 twin turbo ($20k)

Renaultsport Clio Cup 2.0 ($20k)

JZX100 Toyota Chaser 2.5 turbo ($25k)

BA Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo ($30k)

V35 Nissan Skyline Sedan 3.5 ($35k)

Subaru Forrester XT Luxury ($40k)

E36 BMW M3 Coupe 3.0 ($45k)

B5 Audi S4 2.7 twin turbo ($45k)

Mazda RX-8 ($50k)

Subaru Liberty 3.0R-B ($50k)

Series 8 Mazda RX7 ($55k)

E36 BMW M3 Coupe 3.2 ($60k)

BF Ford F6 Typhoon ($70k)

E39 BMW M5 5.0 ($90k)

E46 BMW M3 3.2 ($100k)

Something fuel efficient...

[Bunta]

I am thinking JZX100 Chaser, Evo 8 or 9 or pehaps a R33 GTR

Somthing with four doors would be good and evos and chasers are just about the best!
