YACT: What UNmodded COUPE would you buy for 50-70K?

[phreakah]

i'd go with a slightly used NSX

Its been said quite a few times already, but the C6 Z06 is your best choice.

I had the opportunity to drive a C6, non Z06 and I fell in love instantly. Steering was sharper then the few Porshes I have driven, and it felt a lot quicker too. I'm pretty sure the Z06 will lay the smack down on most any new Porshe, and definetely in its price range. Steering, handling, braking, and power.

And you KNOW that bitch is going to be naaasty.

When is it supposed to come out?

I'm honestly not sure, if you are looking to get a new whip really soon it might be too long.

Quite the contrary, I'm looking to purchase sometime next year. I just want to begin testdriving and researching now.

Ah, in that case it will probably be out. It is supposed to be the 2007 model that revamps the M3 so whenver the next year comes out, I'm sure you could google it or someone who knows more could expand upon when this actually is.


Good luck on your search, I only wish I was in your position. Maybe in a few more years.

I read that Car and Driver article on the Z06 and they said that the Z06 didnt feel as sure in handling as the 911

New: M3

Used: M5 or NSX

 

[tweakmm]

Haha!

Are you most of your guys really blind or just don't know your cars?

The M5 is a 4 DOOR SEDAN.

 

[RollWave]

Yeah I have no idea tweak. People wont let it go. Maybe it has to do with the ridiculous horsepower / handling that beast has. I test drove one of those after I did th M3 and I was blown away. Its just that I dont want a 4-door

M3

[mitaiwan82]

I was thinking the same thing. I didn't know my E39 is a Coupe. BTW the next generation of M3 will have 400 HP and the current E46 M3 has about 320 HP. I would wait if I am in the market for a new M3.

Too bad it'll look like ass.

Already have a 99! Your taste matches mine closely :beer:

Lucky you. I dream of a day when i get to ride that car. I alredy drove in it on a couple of occasions, but have yet to own it...

Indeed!

My vote goes for the M3 . Get a decent 2nd hand one now and get another one later if you want. They hold value very very well. The new M3 won't be out for ages and it will be tough to get in the 70k category since it will be new. New M3's start at £40k in England then the extras and they top £45-48k! I'd imagine the USA price for the new M3 to be more then 70k.

I'd rather have a used 911 than a new Cayman, personally. That thing is pug-fugly IMO.

The M5 is a 4 DOOR SEDAN.

it's because he kept changing the title

first it was car

then it was coupe

then it was unmodded

hence i said S4 or a used M5

an M coupe is rare and fast, and will leave you way below the budget.

Owch. That sucks for you guys accross the pond, but MSRP on a new M3 is about 50k here, and less than 60k fully loaded. The 2007 will probably be more expensive but not 10k more. With dealer mark up it will probably be below budget, maybe flirting with 70k but I doubt it. Even though it won't be out for a year, it seems that that's about when the OP wants to get the new car.
I'd still hold out for the 2007 if I was going to get an M3.
Although, I did forget about the Porche Cayman. That is also going to be a very sick car. I'd most certainly get one instead of a 911.

 

[CombatChuk]

Here's a good one...

Of the models mentioned so far, my What Auto? mag says that the Porche 911 has the highest resale (the BMW 6 isn't in there yet) at 75% retained value after 3 years. It was also their pick of Performance Car of the Year.

The SLs do well, at 66%, but they're no Porche.

And for whomever recommended the NSX a few pages back, what are you drinking? One of the worst resale values going for a performance car, at less than 50% after three years.

NSX is going out of production IIRC. Resale value will probably increase in a few years IMO.

Even they do, isnt there a long ass waiting list for the new M5? But for 70k, the M5 is veryy veryyy tempting.

What about BMW 6 series. If you can get over the exterior styling, I think it would be a very good buy
