Your $100,000 car collection
Fantasy Scenario #2
Today I'm giving you $100,000 to go out and purchase a car collection for yourself! You can define your collection however you want, one exotic worth the full $100K, or maybe 25 SVXes worth $4K each. Whatever you buy, this is your collection and seperate from your daily driver. These are your garage queens to do with as you wish. However, I have some rules and guidelines since it's my money! You must spend the $100K today - meaning today's street values for each of the cars. If you have links/screenshots of classified ads with pictures and prices, extra bonus! You must take into account your current collection - if you already have "extra" cars that you don't really need, you must include their current street values as part of your $100K or give them up. At the end of the day, we are all going to have a $100K car collection, and 1 or 2 daily drivers, whatever they may be. If you are single, you can have 1 daily driver and maybe a work truck or something if it isn't anything special. If you are married, 2 daily drivers, and the possible work truck. You can put some of the money towards modifications and/or restoration - just include it with the price of the car and describe it. IE "Subaru SVX with turbocharger and 6 speed Sti tranny - $20K" Don't limit yourself based on insurance, license tabs, maintenance, or storage space. This is a fantasy scenario so assume none of those things are factors. Pictures, pictures, pictures! Especially the obscure and unique stuff. As mentioned before, if you can actually get a screenshot in of an autotrader ad or something showing the picture and selling price, bonus! Looking forward to seeing some great ideas here!

Re: Your $100,000 car collection
1 SVX?
Sadly our cars aren't cheap... and some of the members here have cars approaching $50k+ as far as total investment .... $100k isn't that far off... __________________ |

Re: Your $100,000 car collection
Well, I already have a summer car, 1972 cutlass 442, I have posted pics before, so say that is worth about 25k in current condition.
I would then probably go with a 2005-2006 lotus elise - approx 30k, so I am down to 45k, link for the lotus, preferably in red or black. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false I would like to put about 10k into my svx, new paint, RX-8 wheels, cloud skirts, 6 speed swap, or find one with these things done, and keep mine as my dd. I would like a 2000 740il bmw for my DD. I have always loved this body style, these can be had for about 10k, so I am down to 25k. BTW Dark blue with Black interior. I would probably like to get a 1995 Range rover classic because I think they are cool trucks, they are about 5k right now, plus 3-5k in parts, so down to 15k. I want a 1980ish Volvo 240 DL. strange, I know, 2k for the car, 3k for paint, down to 10k. I would probably end up spending the rest on tools/more parts for these cars, so I think thats my list |

Re: Your $100,000 car collection
Wouldn't matter for me.. Whatever I'd buy, I'd sell shortly after to hoard the cash...

Re: Your $100,000 car collection
Okay, here it goes, in no particular order. This is a rough estimate, hence the ~ for approximations.
1) My Claret 1992 SVX (after the engine and trans projects are finished) ~12k total investment. -Rebuilt Stock Engine with Powdercoated Block, heads, VC, etc -Interior is already redone along with paint. 2) 2000~ Lotus Espirit ($25-27k) 3) 1993 Mazda RX-7 Silver with Red/Black Interior and Bose Audio. Bone Stock. (~$17k) 4) 1994-96 Mazda Miata M Edition. ~$7500-10k (weekend racer) 5)1990-94 Volkswagen Corrado ($5k-8k) 6) 1984~ Isuzu Impulse Turbo with Lotus Handling Pkg. ($5k-7k) 7) 1967 Pontiac Lemans Convertible NOT GTO ($15k) 8) Subaru Brat (No special preference of year, with EJ22 Swap) ($5k-8k)

Re: Your $100,000 car collection
9) Nissan 300ZX 90-96 TT, Stock (~10k)
10) 1997-99 Legacy GT Wagon ($3k-$6k) 11) 1992 Mazda 929 ($3k-$4k) I would possibly replace the Z and the RX-7 if I was able to find one of these: Mazda Eunos Cosmo (~25k) Daily Driver would be any one these on nice days or a 92 Subaru SVX Liquid Silver with BLACK Leather Interior (reupholstered of course), new carpet, OB LLBean Steering wheel/Momo Airbag, Nakamichi Headunit, MB Quart Speakers, Piano Black Accents (Eliminate Woodgrain), Electro-Luminescent Gauges, 18' BBS Wheels, 07 WRX Trans, etc 04~ Volvo XC90 for my better half as his DD. Edit: And a Dodge/FL/MB Sprinter as my work van/ Car hauler. Im sure Im forgetting about half of my favorites... I could possibly edit this later... Prices are approximations including $ for paint and possible resto work.

Nice Mike.
Me: One SVX, modified with an $85K budget. One fast bike. (GSX-R1000 perhaps) Nice and simple.
