Talking Dreams Do Come True... Help me Chose my next vehicle!! 60 Days left :X

Dream about to come true… (Well, I decide… (: My next vehicle )

Ok... Im turning 18 on the 20th of November, and, (: I’ am getting to choose my 20th bday vehicle when I turn 18... So, I have awhile to choose what vehicle I want. I know it sounds weird thinking of a vehicle that I will be getting 2 years from now but, that’s how my family is... LOL . (It’s hard to explain, because my family is ****ed up (: )

I will be putting around $20k of my own money towards it, and my parents are willing to put $20-30k Into It... Meaning the cost of vehicle and, my favorite part... The Modifications). I cannot have the car dropped too low because, I will be going back and forth through the city, and Long Island (Bad Roads ). I will be working for a health insurance company when I turn 18 (Guaranteed), and ill be there for awhile

So, onto the vehicles that I’ am interested in getting (These are my Dream Cars... Meaning I don’t give a **** bout any other cars... Im a PICKY person… So THESE are the cars that I’ am interested in. That is why I will be getting ONE of the vehicles listed below when i turn 20)

Im really not into speed, Mainly just looks, BUT, Yes, it would be nice to have speed when id like to have it (Unlike my civic )

Cars
.................................................. ............

Audi S4 OR A4 (2003^)

BMW M3 (2003^) (Was originally Going to get but, still considering diff cars)

Toyota Supra (1994-1998 Turbo'd)

Lexus IS300 (2003^)


SUVs (Latest Versions)
.................................................. ............

Mercury Mountaineer <<<<< OOOHHHHHHHH SOOO Comfy lease:

BMW X5

GMC Yukon


Top 3 as of Now:
1) BMW M3
2) Mercury Mountaineer
3) Toyota Supra

BMW ~ Has always been my dream car... I have always been in my Grandfathers Bimmers. We would always speed around everywhere… Sooo Nice (: But, like I said Speed doesn’t really matter for me, I LOVE the looks. If I' am going to get this car, both me and my parents will put our money together. I will only be modding the exterior a little, Adding Rims and adding ICE. This car is fast enough for me (:

Mountaineer ~ OMG, 2 of my uncles have this SUV, and it is SOOOooo Comfy/Luxurious. If I' am going to get this car I would not be paying for it, my parents will buy me it. I will only add Rims and ICE.

Supra ~ Where to start... Exterior is beautiful (When mod’d), My parents would buy the car, and I would buy the mods to make it beautiful. Only problem i have about this car is that it would be a used supra... And, I would have to make it fast (And I really don’t NEED speed but, It would be nice to have... )

(Please suggest other cars but, remember that I will most likely not even care (: Just chose 1 out of the vehicles listed, and give a reason Why you think I should get it...)

You can get a nice used supra for 30k, the use the rest of the money to do a big single turbo swap. Easy 600hp.

Ive always been partial to M3's. Girls love em, and they have the speed to make guys drool.

And after getting a ride in the new STi, i would also consider one of them. AWD launches are fun

The only thing people say is, STI is so fast... No1 ever talks about how it looks... They all look the same, BLUE & Boxy Even with a kit...

I've been in my friends WRX, and all that he kept saying was, "I cant believe how fast this is.. Look its another WRX look how nice it looks, I gotta wave to him cause he has a subaru..." LOL! I mean come on, maybe its just cause of him i dont like them.

If i was to get a used supra.. I see they are going in the range of 20-30k$, I would like to atleast replace the engine cause most of the ones ive seen have over 50k miles, and in 2 years it would most likley be more added...

How much would a motor cost? Do they have motors for them? Seeing how the supras I' am looking at are discontinued...

I was thinking about the 350z and G35 but, They honestly look very simular, except for the G35's Tails :O and i dont see any kits out for them yet... (But they did just come out soo... Maybe. They are both a little too compacted for me. Dont get me wrong.. they are nice just that i dont really like em too much.

a supra would get looks, but i dont think as many as a brand new "whatever" would, because you'd get looks from all ages.

since you'll put 30, parents would put 30, what about an escalade? i know those are a lil more than that...

and another thing, this is 2 years from now. they will have a whole more kinds of cars by then anyway

the most i will put will be 20, and i dont really care for an escalade... There are too many of em by me. Yea, i know there will be a new group of cars... but honestly the ones that i listed are my dream cars... Thats why my parents are agreeing to this...

Must be nice to have your whole life planned out for you already at the age of 18.. I'm jealous of that. I'm also wondering where an 18 year old gets 20k to play with... but nevermind the bullshit...

Honda Pilot. Much higher quality vehicle than a Mountaineer and MUCH better resale value.

Honda Accord V6 6spd navigation coupe. Excellent performance and mega fun with the nav.

I'd go for a G35. Theres mods for it... and they're not going to cost nearly as much as mods for an M3. Besides that I really think the new M3 is too posh. Its fast, yes, but they wasted too much making it a luxocruiser. It has moves, but the e36 feels much more like a real sports car. Electric everything sucks. That and by the time you get an M3 with the stuff to make it worthwhile, you'll be around $55K. Then you've got no money for Mods.
G35 with Brembos and Rays Forged 18s.... $34K. That leaves $16K for mods... and the Greddy kit is only about $5000.

Its probably off the radar screen, but the Caddy CTS-V. Ain't nothing wrong with a Cadillac Corvette. (it's LS6 powered).

You could probably also grab a used NSX. Or if you like going in reverse through the ATM drive-up, an R32 or 33 Skyline

I say you should go with a 350z. They are such nice looking cars and I love Nissan motors. They just make really great cars. There's so much style with those cars. The problem is no back seats.
