370Z Gone.....So what's next?

jseter · 11-25-2011, 10:44 AM

Had a successful sale on the 370z, now the field is pretty much wide open for what to get next.

I'd like to have at least 4 seats, if not 4 doors, and something that would also make a great high-speed, comfortable cruiser.

It is important for me to have a car that sounds awesome, has good power, and some prestige pulling up at the valet would be a bonus.

For reference, I drove an E60 M5 a couple days ago and absolutely loved it.

What do you guys think?

Red__Zed · 11-25-2011, 11:06 AM

what is your budget?

Econ · 11-25-2011, 11:57 AM

I'm in a similiar boat as you, although I am strictly looking for 2 doors.

My list thus far:

2013' Mustang 5.0
C63 AMG Coupe
E550 Coupe

Another old truck.

jseter · 11-25-2011, 02:00 PM

upper limit of budget is probably $45k - ish but it could be flexible

haven't decided if i am keeping the truck or not, i'm thinking that having two vehicles doesn't make great sense for me at this point.....

m3 sedan or lexus is-f are another option!

rebe945 · 11-25-2011, 02:05 PM

An Eco Boost 365 hp Taurus

Might be able to find a nice used CTS-V Sedan under $45k.

phelan · 11-25-2011, 02:16 PM

CTS-V would be a good one.

Modified for larger budgets!

2013 GT500 650hp Beast
C63 is great... Leave it
E63 (4 doors, still beautiful)

Dallaz · 11-25-2011, 06:00 PM

But on a serious note, I would consider the IS-F on your budget. What a nice car and right at your budget limit used. 416hp and very well appointed interior

awkwardturtle · 11-25-2011, 06:10 PM

You really need prestige pulling up at a valet?

jseter · 11-25-2011, 06:54 PM

good suggestions guys, i'm pretty wide open for brands and everything

the IS-F, E63 and CTS-V are seriously good ideas, keep em coming!

I'm a Valet. It's a big deal to more people than you think. And it doesn't end with the car, most people tip $20-$100 to have it parked up front and show it off. I personally love those kind of people lol
