With the choice of any car for $75k, why would you pick a Nismo 370Z? There are so many better choices for that budget. Some more questions though, is that $75k also going towards maintaining the car or are you going to pay for your own maintenance? This does make a huge difference in your options. Here are my choices if I was in your position:

$75k includes maintenance:
-If you want a Z, just get the Sport + Touring + Nav since your replacing the wheels, getting a body kit, performance mods and tune. If you're doing all this there is no reason to spend the extra money for a Nismo.

-I would definitely get the M3 in the coupe rather than the sedan. IMO it looks a lot better.

-Porsche Cayman S (new/lightly used) or used Porsche 911. P cars are engineered to be performance machines and since you have the budget for it, go for it.

$75k doesn't include maintenance:
-Used GT-R. GT-R is a beast, nuff said. You can find them in the $50k and $60k range.

-Any Ferrari/Lambo you can find in that price range. Not the most reliable or best choice, but still pretty bada$$.

-Corvette Z06. I'm sure you'll have fun driving this if you can handle it.

-Any Aston Martin. If you want luxury, comfort, and looks you can't go wrong with an Aston.


The car you should get depends on what you want out of it and what you're going to do with it. Do you want a nice looking luxury car or an all out track monster? Or maybe something in between. If it was me, I would get the GT-R, but that's because it's one of my favorite cars.

Well i could have put all of the 75k down for a 2008 Gallardo ,but since I did not want to give payments, I am buying my m3 full down ,I am still getting loads of cash on my birthday and still would have about 5k left after ordering the m3. Since I am the son of a very successful business man(my dad) I don't have to work until i get a job because he said he would rather have me study without stress of rent or pay gas etc. than make me fail a test and ruin one year of my life. This happened to one of my cousins when he was in sophomore year college ,he failed one of his finals because he was to busy trying to make money for paying rent , pay for gas, etc. After that happened no one in my family and anybody in my extended family from both my mom's and my dad's side never have made their son or daughter work to pay for their own stuff ,but instead supply money for them so they don't have to have additional stress and can be successful in life and not work at a job that barely pays 8 bucks an hour. So there is the reason I am living on my dad's money. Since I am Punjabi (type of Indian) and I am my parents only son I have to follow Indian traditions and keep my parents with me for the rest of my life until I'm able to earn money and am married ,so after those things happen they will be living on my money. So my dad said to me that it wouldn't be big deal for him if he supplied for me because he knows once I become successful he will be living in my money. Get the concept because I think have explained every thing possible even and gave you guys an example

You're probably better off not bothering to justify yourself. If your dad wants to buy you an expensive car, that's great. Sharing it on an internet forum will only bring people to flame you.

Question

I'm surprised your family has all this money and live in manteca. Something doesn't make sense. Matenca is part of the wasteland of the central valley

That's awesome for you man, I hope you appreciate everything you and your family has and aren't just a rich snob. I'm Punjabi too, but my family is from Pakistan. Also the only son, so I understand your situation. It took me 6 months to convince my parents to let me get the 370Z with my own money.

The only thing about new BMW M's are that they lose their value really fast. I think the M3 is better with this than the M5 and M6, but it is still something to consider. You can probably save an easy $10-15k buying one that is slightly used. Some people don't like buying used performance cars, but its up to you. Another option would be to wait till next year for the new M5/M6 to come out. They're supposed to get a 550 HP TT V8, which can probably be tuned for even more. I personally don't like the way that BMW is going with the looks of their cars, the M3 and Z4 and 1M are the only good looking ones left IMO.

we used live in l.a. and my dad wanted to live in a quiet city. we were about to move in modesto's del rio but most of the houses that were available were 1 story and the one two story that we found had a lot work to be done so my dad bought a brand new house here with all the upgrades available. he also had another reason to move here to the the valley it reminds him of india. The house that we were gonna a house in del rio with a lot to of work to be done was 800k and the house we bought here with all upgrade and it is 4500sqft was 863k so there was bang for the buck factor and it is very quiet. since my dad is a business man he looks for all the ways he can lose money and save money. the house we were gonna buy in del rio needed over 150k of work so there another explanation.

thanks man finally some one knows what my situation is thank god. you probably even know what punjabi parents expect for grades "all "a'' or you no get ps3" my said to me when i was in 10th grade. trust me if i was a rich snob my parents would have kicked me out the house by now. my dad has always told me if i became a snob he would kill me because he said if i became a snob i would be a loner all of my life and i don't want to be a loner. i have gone t o private school my whole life so could have got with it but i don't like snobs there are extremely rick kids at my schools they have their own little group because no one want to be friends with them and i am proud that i have friends that love em for who i am not what i have.

Oh, God...it's this kid again. Driving since you were 16. Is that some sort of accomplishment? People in Europe learn at 12. Calm yourself, Schumacher.

Definitely second a Porsche unless you also need your car to change design every few years.

The Cayman S would be quite expensive to maintain, but is generally reviewed as a better sports car than the 370Z, even considering the price difference.

I would also suggest purchasing slightly used, even with the M3, it just makes more sense, though cars with lots of options (like Porsche) make it a lot harder to find what you want. Oh, and definitely the coupe in an M3, but then I dont like four seaters, let alone four doors.
