Your next car purchase...

[IgorRGTI]

No games or gimmicks, unlimited budgets or any of that nonsense.

Assuming you're going to get something in the next year, what are you getting?

If all works out well, then I will hopefully be a the proud owner of a CPO 987.2 Cayman S.

[Gran Turismo]

Possibly one of these:



Or maybe your current car, Igor.

[Yo Teach]

I'm not planning on getting a car in the next year, but let's say my car was totaled or had some kind of massive mechanical failure, necessitating a new vehicle.

I would get a 2010+ 3 hatchback (Skyactiv, preferably)


I would promptly get a set of side sills off an "s" model for it.

Or I would get an Outback.


Or a new Escape or Fusion if I can afford to go brand new.

[true story]

I've been researching/keeping an eye out for a Porsche 930 for the past year and a half. Realistically, when my wife's car is paid off in four years, that's what I'm buying.

[absoluteczech]

Mk7 GTI, Audi A3 sedan (if it arrives and is in my price point) or lease a 3 series

[brakedust]

MK7 Golf R (if it comes out next year)

[oh noes! cars!]

I was thinking maybe a 5 year old Infinit G37s coupe - wouldn't mind something a bit luxury w/rear wheel.

[silverlegacy]

This:


Or this:

[rynodyno312]

As much as I would like it to be a 987.2 Cayman, I don't think I will be able to justify the expense.

The new Accord seems really appealing right now as a practical daily. I could see myself leasing one of those for a couple of years when the warranty is up on my GTI.

[iggysju]

An NC Miata MX-5. Planning on picking one up in the spring actually.

[sandiegan]

Why are people with brand new cars buying new cars

[VW1.8Tsunami]

Mid-size comfy 4dr sedan. camcord or equivalent under 12k.

[clutchrider]

This for the wife. I already have my car.

[MrRoboto]

I want a Jag or a LR. I need to do it before I turn 40, so I can start sprouting gray hairs without looking out of place.

Great choice. I'd do that if I could.

There's a lot of things on my 'list', but if I replaced my car this year (not actually planning to quite yet, only for the eventuality) it would be most likely



a Mazda CX-5, diesel if the diesel is out. That's the most realistic of the list, though others aren't far behind:

Ford C-Max


Audi Q5 2.0t or TDI


Longer shot:
Porsche Cayenne (used)

[Archaeopteryx]

Probably something RWD, manual and rusty. Winter duty car, something like a Mercedes W123 or Volvo 240 or similar.

Or I might get a more modern station wagon, like a VW Passat.

[1985Jetta]

There are a number of cars around here I might want to buy.

-Corvair
-Duster
-Allante
-Fiero 2M6
-mk2 GLI
-mk3 GLS/GT
-Montego GT/another gran torino
-mk7 GTI 4 door
-Opel adam if it comes to the US
-Smart forjeremy (flamesuit on)
-pontiac sunrunner

[Chris Stack]

My wife really wants a new crossover/CUV/SUV to replace her Jetta, and we will likely get her one mid-late next year, probably an RDX.

[Sir UNBANNED_GERBIL M.B.]

Q7 SLine, in this colour. Fiance is dead against minivans. I approve of her choice here. And I get to keep my Avant

Shes' getting rid of her ****box Echo. Horrible little car

[scoTT la rock]

im sick of small german cars.

next up for me is either a chevy suburban or a dodge challenger.

big american, eff yeah son

[Ross1013]

It won't be this year...but as soon as we are ready to treat ourselves to a 3rd car (after we buy a house and have our first kid), we're going to lease one of these:

[LaFerrari]

Why are people with brand new cars buying new cars

What's wrong with that

[Mr.Tan]

My lease is up on my 335 in sept. of this year, I think i am going to get myself back into a wrangler. I had one before my bmw and it wasent how I wanted it (soft top, half doors, manual trans. ), i bought it without seeing, big fail on my part.

so I am doing it right this time and ordering it how I want it with a painted hard-top, full doors, auto. (no need for two manual trans. vehicles) and in a 4 door unlimited.


Something like this: color undecided, since jeep likes to change them up every 6 months

I LOVE my BMW so much, but I am at a point in my life where I need to get something with a cheaper car-payment so I can get going with life.

What does a 135I vert lease for? I was looking at cayman/boxtser leases and they were still above my (theoretical budget).

I also saw some leases on 2012 6-6 Accord Coupes that have me thinking of calling my CU to figure out my GTI payoff.

Just need to get this damn condo situation taken care of first!

[Jordan 191]

More like 3 years or so from now:

Me: FR-S
Wife: Ford C-Max or Mazda 5

[FuelInMyVeins]

Mk7 GTI

This

Hopefully we will have blue color option here.

Yeah you and me both dude!

135i vert = $469/mo. That's what I pay on my Civic's 5-year loan, for a car that's about 2x as expensive.

128i Coupe = $329/mo
135i Coupe = $389/mo

$3K+ due at signing though. One would want to negotiate a bit, I imagine. And these are for specific models (Premium Package but no Tech or Sport)...and you can't lease a 135is, looks like...

But for a 3rd car, which is what it will be for me, those things don't matter. 3rd pedal? I'll take my Civic. Nav? Both of my other cars have it.

[SLC_Punker]

My 2013 black WRX hatch has an ETA of Jan 14.

[Ross1013]

My 2013 black WRX hatch has an ETA of Jan 14.

Congrats.

[.:bigred12]

I realized that I probably won't be buying a car for the next 5 years. I'm in college now and would have no where to store a second car. Even after I graduate I'll probably move to a NYC where I wouldn't need /be able to have a car.

Plus side is that I'll be able to save up for something much nicer in the distant future.

[julz88]

Posted this in the goals for 2013 thread too but here we go...

2006-2007 TSX in manual (Wish you could get the V6 in manual)



This or a similar year GTI, but have a feeling the TSX would be more reliable.

[ATL_Av8r]

Something that I can have an infant carrier and a toddler seat in comfortably without having to move either seat all the way up. Which reminds me, fcuk you, guy who designed the MKIV Jetta backseat!

[The Holy Molar]

In March I'll either be getting a '13 Golf TDI to replace the Rabbit as my DD. Or a S2000 for something a little more fun to drive and a future replacement of the CRX as my autocross/track toy.

Two completely different cars. I know it shouldn't even be a decision seeing how one is way more reliable and fun than the other but I'm just crazy like that.

[horsty69]

Something with 4 doors, more space, and quiet.

Looking at:

5 Series awd (used)
GLK (used)
Grand Cherokee (new)
A6(used)

and about 10 other options...I can never make up my mind
