If your car was totaled, what would you get next?

mt145 · 04-15-2014, 01:31 PM

If your car was totaled today, what would you get?
But, to make this a little bit harder: assume the company gives you fair Blue Book value, and you can't ADD money to the value.

I'll lead:
12k for my car.
I would be tempted to get a 330i with sport package 6mt, but I know there are faster options as well as some that are more practical for me.
If I were to be practical I'd do the xi, but maybe even a clean '07 Volvo S60R.

Probably a ferrari or two

everyone better knock on wood when responding to this.....

Hokie_BMW · 04-15-2014, 01:58 PM

Id probably go back to an e46 330i ZHP with low miles. Had one before my 335 and absolutely loved it. I'd keep the extra cash and put some of it into the ZHP for some mods.

drunkenup · 04-15-2014, 02:01 PM

E46 M3 or E39 M5... that's just off the top of my head at 17k

9352e90 · 04-15-2014, 02:30 PM

The lowest milage 06' 330i (with sport package) that I could find.

uberbeast21 · 04-15-2014, 03:31 PM

Well at 28k if i couldn't get another 335i I would go for an e46 m3 for sure but leave some cash for mods as well

galahad05 · 04-15-2014, 04:01 PM

....hard to decide--I'm actually looking right now for my next car. My '07 is starting to get long in the tooth. And right now I'm not finding the right car for me. Coming soon there are some pretty exciting cars though--from Jaguar, Lexus, BMW, etc.

Right now?
Tesla Model S, maybe?

I'll go back and "downgrade" to a 128i coupe, 6MT, sport pack, no sunroof, completely no options (possibly xenons). With the cash left over, I'll get PE, PI, PS, and Perf seats...

litxus · 04-15-2014, 04:17 PM

Probably would test drive brand new WRX and if nothing good is found would get a good mpg commuter car and a bike.

AceOnShake · 04-15-2014, 04:17 PM

I would get a clean E36 M3 manual. I have a vert right now but its an auto. Nothing like driving a e36 m3. Or a E39 M5 but the gas would be pretty bad with that 400 ponies.

MMMCOOKIES55 · 04-15-2014, 04:19 PM

E39 M5, used to have one, loved that car.
