[One Punch Man]

Hello all, I've been a long time lurker and finally decided to register for an account.

My situation is that I want to purchase a DD 2015+ car. I prefer AWD as it is my only car. I have only looked into the CLS 63 and RS7 so far. Still need to try out the Range Rover Sport SVR.

I don't plan on tracking the car, but plan on going on road trips and such for the car. Most of my driving will be commuting around Vancouver. I'm mostly interested in a "fast" but livable car and plan to do a tad bit of modding (wheels and such).

What are your suggestions? Thanks. :thumbs:

GTR?

Mercedes G glass? Always had a soft spot for it.

[LP700-4]

Cayenne Turbo? Panamera GTS?

For me it'd probably be the SVR lol

[Bender Unit]

If I am looking for a Luxury sedan, RS7 will be my #1 choice.
I love it styling & an interior.

Also No way in hell to purchase in full. Leasing is what everybody does.

Yeah I asked for leasing as well, but might be planning on keeping the car. 70k residual is quite hefty to dish out, even after a heavy down payment. Planning on financing the car (maybe)

But you have 100 to 150K to blow. right. now.

Their value tank faster than Titanic.
You will NEVER want to own it.

Financing :rukidding: are you kidding me ?
You seriously need some help, bro.

[teggy604]

E63 AMG wagon. 500+ hp, AWD, v8, and tons of trunk space for gear, plus you can add a cargo box on the roof if extra space is required. after taxes and PDI, should be around your $150,000 price range.

Well, usually cars depreciate 5k per year. And I probably won't be switching it for a while. I never was considering this as an "investment", more along the lines for my own enjoyment. Therefore, I thought financing would be an option in mind.

More like 20% driving it off the lot

Oh, wow.. I'll keep that in mind next time. Thanks!

Any other cars you guys suggest?

[v_tec]

Buy five Corolla S and DD a different one each day.

lol

[tofu1413]

Rs7!

Drove one at my dealer and it was pretty awesome. One year old premium cars depreciate like bricks

[iHeat]

I would say a maserati QUATTROPORTE S Q4

[BoostedBB6]

Why not just get driven around in old S class AMG car for $200 a day?

[Hehe]

BMW M6 GC. It's fucking amazing.

I'd totally buy it if I spend more time in Vancouver.

[Vancouver240sx]

Maybe a bit under your budget but the Macan Turbo gets my jubblies excited in that market range.

Rich

[Galactic_Phantom]

RS7. Ride is more comfortable than M5 or CLS63 imo.

and lol @ awd for a daily...let me guess? you're gonna drive your $100k super saloon in the snow with michelin pss because awd is going to magically save you?

[Mr.Money]

911 turbo....their pretty good with the free maintenance for 5 years,Brand new anyway.

[One Punch Man]

After inquiring more about the RS7, I am left with two options.

What are your thoughts guys, standard or performance?http://i.imgur.com/I1rdfMN.jpg

[meme405]

RR LWB Autobiography.

If your spending 150k get the real range rover, not the sport.

The other great options have been listed: M5, M6GC or GTR

[yray]

corolla and reinvest money to buy 300k DD :troll:

[Galactic_Phantom]

Power assisted door closer? :rukidding: really? thats a thing now?

[Dragon-88]

Ya save up and get a Ferrari FF. 4 seater, 12 cylinder, awd.. :fullofwin:

[Indyjones]

If you're going to spend that amount of money on a car, I wouldn't listen to other people's opinions. Everybody likes something different. Buy whichever vehicle suits you best.
I always smirk when I read these "what should I buy" threads, and then every post recommends something different. :grinno:

[Mr.C]

Probably troll, but fuck it.

For ~150k, I wouldn't be looking at new; I'd be looking at a low mileage used Rapide or something similar.

Edit: Just to explain my reasoning, the Audi/Merc are bland for Vancouver. A7s and CLSs are quite common, and tbh I'm not a huge fan of the interior. For that kind of money, I don't want to be one more in the crowd.

[Nlkko]

For that money and purpose, a Tesla P85D is a no brainer.

[Mr.Money]

with Vancouver installing power stations for the Tesla,it would be smart idea....But..they go 800km without being recharged unless you're going up to Whistler

[gilly]

^ are you sure? Thought they had around 400km of range... not 800km

[Adorkami]

If you are willing to wait nearly a year you could always go with the Tesla model X

[HKSR]

Generally, people that can afford a $150k vehicle have the funds to buy it in cash (or damn well close to it). If you're needing to finance a $150k vehicle, you're probably stretching your budget, and should probably rethink what you're doing considering the massive depreciation you're gonna get hit with (the first little while, you'll probably owe more than the vehicle is worth after driving it off the lot).

Nevertheless, that's not what this thread is about... so my take is the RS7 as well. Style, power, luxury, and spacious for longer road trips.

[BEEB]

Can't believe someone who's capable of earning $100K+ and willing to dispose $100K+ on a car while so indecisive and need opinion on RS

[One Punch Man]

Thanks for your input guys. It definitely helped me consider some cars that I did not think of before. :)

[Gucci Mane]

hellcat charger gets my vote.

[Hehe]

Financing has nothing to do with wealth. With manufacturers offering all sort of attractive financing options, one'd be stupid not to take it.

It works out cheaper to finance vs. buy it outright. Why buy?

[tofu1413]

^ yep.


Might as well put the liquid cash into things that would make you money (investments... and 911's :lawl: )

[Harvey Specter]

Used G63 would be a good buy.

[Galactic_Phantom]

^really? How does one even dd that thing? It was one of the worst cars not a prius/corolla I have ever driven. It jerks from any sort of acceleration and it feels like there is a boulder on the back when ever it turns. I've never sat at the back before but it looks cramped af. Aside from aesthetics I can't imagine much pros of that car

[tofu1413]

its good for off road and running over cyclists.


:lawl:

In general, I'd agree with you. But in this context, I don't.

Let me know when you find those attractive financing options on an RS7, or other $150k+ luxury vehicle.

[pastarocket]

RS7.

Have you tried this website: About Unhaggle, New Car Deals & Dealer Invoice Prices | Unhaggle (http://www.unhaggle.com/how-it-works/)

Perhaps the car dealers can give you a deal on the RS7?

[jasonturbo]

150K can probably get you a clean low mile 2001 Integra Type R.

[Gallardo]

Used G63 would be a good buy.

Used G63?

You can spend a few grand more for a Brabus Ride-Control, which significantly improves the ride of the car, takes out the jitters and rattlings.

I've been hoping to pick up an used G63 myself, but they typically hover around the $165,000 mark, while new ones are around $190,000. Even with the slight facelift for 2016, the G63 pricing for 2012 didn't budge very much.

Any tips on where to look for one?:alone:

[pastarocket]

If you are considering to buy a BMW with X drive that is within that 100 to 150K price range, maybe you can send a PM to tofu1413.

Maybe he can get you a deal on a Beemer. :considered:

I believe SR had a one white for $150ish. My neighbor got a black one, I believe he paid $155k, private sale.

If you're going to spend $150k buy something that won't be worth half the price in a few years. Almost all the cars mentioned in this thread depreciate like crazy, G63 on the other hand keeps it's value and same goes for the new RR.

[Hehe]

In general, I'd agree with you. But in this context, I don't.

Let me know when you find those attractive financing options on an RS7, or other $150k+ luxury vehicle.

A quick look on Audi's own site, it quotes financing from 3.9 and lease from 4.9.

Assuming one invests with a good balance of risk and return, achieving over 3.9%/yr on the return isn't really hard if at all.

Or as you said, if a person can't figure a way to make more than 3.9% ROI, then yes, they should totally buy it outright. :D

[rd01]

m6 gc

[Harvey Specter]

m6 gc

Stay away from M6's in general. They depreciate like crazy.

[tofu1413]

a lightly used, one year old M6.... have a big price gap from brand new from MSRP. its quite insane how much its depreciates

[vyrospec]

Sedan: M6GC, RS7
SUV: Macan/Cayenne Turbo, X5M, GLE
Sleeper Choice: XC90 (its 'moose-aware' :badpokerface:)

[Limitless]

At first I was surprised at the amount of asshole replies to OP who seems pretty nice and genuine. Then I remembered I was on revscene lol

[Harvey Specter]

Styling is subjective but I would take a Panamera GTS over the M6GC and RS7. Another car that holds it's value quite well.

[One Punch Man]

Thanks everyone! I'm fully aware of the depreciation of these 150k cars. However in my mind, I am not buying the car to think about how much value it'll hold after a few years, as I will be going on long distance trips, and etc.. I know car values tend to free-fall within this category and I have already taken that into consideration when deciding on purchasing a new car.

But again, thanks everyone for all your thoughts and opinions, I am still searching what the right car is for me.

[Adorkami]

According to yahoo nobody has died in a XC90, so there's one benefit of it.

The new XC90 is actually one hell of a ride and one I would normally recommend. However, it doesn't seem like it's something the OP is particularly looking for.

That said, my review should be up in the next week or so (shameless plug :lol)

[european]

Tesla Model S

[Verdasco]

G63 goes for my vote.

BMW depreciates like crazy and telsa .. lol no thx jeff!~

[Harvey Specter]

I8 is probably the only BMW that probably won't depreciate much but it's far from a DD.

[tofu1413]

I8 is probably the only BMW that probably won't depreciate much but it's far from a DD.

lightly used ones are holding 140k or so.... and slowly going down.

[Verdasco]

I8 is probably the only BMW that probably won't depreciate much but it's far from a DD.

disagree, it is decreasing at such a large large rate. Saw an auction where no one wanted to even touch it.

Car is shit from what I heard. Enthusiasts and owner of luxury car shops
