If you had 15k to spend. What would you get?

[potatobread]

As the title states, I'm curious.

If you had $15,000 to spend on a car and mods, what would you do?

[thetopdog]

I'd probably get the newest Boxster S I could find for $15k

[warren_s]

Mustang 5.0. With the rate at which people are unloading these cars I'm sure it won't be long before you can get one for $15k.

[warrenW]

s2000.

[teklord69]

Depends on what I was looking to do. In my own case, I'd buy this on eBay, which currently has a $12,000 BIN:

[EricTheRad]

[Kjheidlebaugh]

agree

[b0mb3r]

MKV GTI with 5 Doors, if money left over, chip, suspension, and engine mounts.

[08 MKV GTI]

I had $15k to spend last June and bought a 2008 VW GTI with 24k miles for 14,198.00 . I was leasing it and couldn't find anything better 2008 or newer to buy, car has had no problems and has multiple warranty extensions on engine components and DSG for 10 years. Great deal.

[Vash350z]

Can you really get a viper for 15k now?

[pattrick02]

Can you really get a viper for 15k now?

an older 90's model....yeah, pretty damn close to 15k..

[sunofernest]

I bought a nearly stock, one owner, '06 WRX with 64k for $14000 and spent $1000 on a used Cobb AccessPort and turbo-back exhaust.

Maybe not the fastest or best handling option but its a nice, quick, versatile daily and I love it.

[zaYG]

Very hard.

Either a super clean NA miata with a lot of mods.

An S2000.

Or most likely, an e46. Probably a clean ZHP.

[Dr. Woo]

Since my wife and I both have practical daily drivers, I'd probably find a nice S2000 and have my "fun" car.

[crannky]

Right now? An R32. I still need something I can put drums in.

you can put drums on the back of a new Jetta.

[kindofblue59]

[betes]

I was in this exact position a few months back and I bought my MKIV R32, which is what led me to the vortex. I needed a daily driver and wanted something fun to drive and practical. Pretty happy with it.

[Chris_V]

I would replace my '98 LWB E38 with an '01 SWB Sport model E38 or '01 750 E38 and have cash left over for upgrades.

[Fritz27]

Save $2k more and buy this.

A better job.

Yeah... This.

[cockerpunk]
