looks like am finally getting a new car, and sorry guys its not another maxima. I was think about a 05 Benz E320 for 46, or a 06 Infiniti M35 for abour 50-51. they both got there good points and bad, but which one would u guys go for?

 

Why not an '05 Max? If not a Max....get an Infiniti Q45 , wicked quick and RWD.

 

I wouldnbt get either of thoes.

 

Those are pretty high rollin' cars for a 21 year old....

 

umm......for about 50g, y not get g35??? n still have money to mod,

 

you will probably get more skin with the Merc... females know that brand wayyy much better. And, since you are 21........ this is an essential part of your existence.
Or.... you could get a new Maxima and invest the rest of the money in your future?

 

neither of those, you could save buying that 50K car and wait for the GTR, but I take it from you selection your looking for your "grown man" vehicle which a GTR doesnt fit the roll. I'm not a Merc fan so I'd never buy one no matter how "grown man" I'm trying to be. Is this something just for you to drive, you and family? Could get a decent Porsche, but I'd go with G35 all options and still have change left over to put coil overs and rims and look fresh

 

What do you do that you can afford a 50 thousand dollar car at 21? Unless someone else is paying for it.....

 

Was thinking the same thing. I'm a 41 yr old professional with a solid job and couldn't touch either one. How does a 21 yr old do it?! I think I'd stay away from the M for this year as it is a first year model and will, no doubt, have some bugs to be worked out.

 

me and my pops are going 50 50 on this. and as for modds, i learned my lesson with my gle, i would only do something like audio system upgrades or get better rims.

 

Very good of your Dad to work with you on this. Wish my Pop had the means to help when I was young and searching for that first brand new perfect beast. GL with your decision.

 

A new max or M3 man.

 

M3 all the way... look at my sig, it's a beast

 

Sti...............

 

..........

 

the M hands down. its cheaper than 50 !!

 

I bought my 2003.5 for $40k. Great car, best decision I ever made.

 

quite a lucky guy to have a dad who would do that.

I would go with an e46 M3

 

Sweet license plate too!

 

Buddy, you don't know who I am nor what I do.. why would you assume such a thing??? Grow up

 

Easy big fella. I believe he was directing this comment to the young gentleman who posted this thread.

 

I think he meant the original poster, re-read.

 

This post is retarded. It doesn't belong in this Forum. This is worse than the Y-Pipe, etc. threads. If you have $25k to spend (plus another $25k from your father) you should be a big enough man to make your own choices.

 

If that's the case my bad...

Anyway to the original poster... Whatever you do, go drive each of the cars you considering before making a decision. A nice long test drive will make up your mind much easier than somebody here on the org suggesting something

 

Well definity the E320 can attract a bit more attention but Mercedes is such an old man's brand. The M35/M45 series are killing the BMW in magazine ratings because they're cheaper. Why not go for a Lancer Evo MR...You should be plenty please...I think it can kick most of the cars listed here.

 

wow thanks for all the help. but i dont think am going to get an M3. Am not looking to race, and a 2 doors is out of the question. which ever car i do end up getting am going to be a taxi driver in a expensive taxi, b\c my *** is alway driving someone around.... you no how it is... thx for all the info. and as for the other pplz, take a chill pill, just wondering what u guys thought, dang!

 

new Acura TL... mmmm.mmmm..mmmm...toasty

 

Why spend $50,000 on a car that will be worth $25,000 it three years? And worth $10,000 in 6 years? That's the worst financial decision you could make. But hey, if you've got lots of disposable (and I do mean that literally and figuratively) income, great. I'd go with the Infiniti then.

What can I say, I'm very practically minded... Good luck with your fancy new wheels!


EDIT:
Why not get an awesome 3-year-old car for $25,000 and own it by yourself? Now that would be hot. Ha ha. Personally, I don't like to share my toys

 

Ask your dad if he wants to adopt me.

 

Buy someting a year or two old. That way you don't lose out on the depreciation.

 

buy an antique.

They APPRECIATE!

 

71 Dodge Dart and a IRA...

 

I got the solution. Get whatever you want because it is your money. As for the recommendation ... don't go with the merc. M3, TL, Max, and M35 all kick ***. Don't buy a used car. If your case was tight financially then yes do get a used car, but since you are going for the "grown car" and have the 50K to toss around, why not. Besides you never know what that used car has been through.

Damn I want a '02 6-Speed Max REAL bad.

 

ever consider a cadillac? ::zips flamesuit:: i am not a big fan of domestic cars but the '05 STS with the V8 is badass and its available in RWD or AWD. i believe it to be the domestic market's first world class sedan. the cars you are considering are amazing as well, just drive the hell out of every one before you commit.--dave

 

speaking of toasty, buy a whole bunch of sandwiches. Sure cars are great, but think of how many sandwiches you could get with fifty thousand dollars. . . mmmmmmmmmmmm.............oh snap, scratch that. get a whole bunch of mo-peds and race them with your friends. That would be sweet!

 

WTF does this have to do with 4th gen maximas?

 

Why would you want to spend that much using it as a taxi?!?! Be like every cabbie and get an American car and perhaps get better seats LOL

 

Definitely go with the 06 M35 out of your selection, the car is sick, less expensive to fix in the future if needed, and not as many people have it. But yea, i think this thread is pointless...

 

you could buy 10 4th gen maximas for that price!

 

Eff that, son. Get an M3... or a 2006 330i....
