What Cars Would You Buy For $116,000?
So I just watched this vid:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxL6bCu_Ap0
and I thought it would make good thread here too.

So if you don't want to watch the video here is the thing. You have hard 'urned 116000 'murican dollars to spend on cars that that will represent your whole garage. So none of your current cars are included in your garage unless you buy them with this money (and you need to find them on ebay). And some simple rules:
1. you can only use ebay.com
2. you can have as many cars you want
3. no motorcycles
4. if you want trailers etc. you need to include them as well
5. post the links of the cars too

I hope you are as detailed as possible because it is one part of the fun to see what cars other people choose and the other fun part is to hear the reasons why they picked those cars.

I haven't started even looking the cars yet but it will be interesting to see what kind of choises people from all around the world make .
Caterham
It seems an oddly specific amount.
pff ebay... why not 86000€ and mobile.de for example?
Mobile.de is best website in europe for cars.
Lol.. Mobile.de is owned bij Ebay. Cars there appear as well on Ebay.

Anyway, Tesla S.

mobile.de has 1,519,719 results

I agree with Dennis.

I'm no Ebay expert but I wonder why Ebay doesn't show any result searching for the car I'd like to buy (again) while mobile.de got more than plenty waiting for me. Could be me doing something wrong.

Ebay.de and Ebay.com are not the same. Or Ebay.co.jp.

Makes no sense to see stuff from another continent which you cannot get.

exactly, that's why I don't want to use ebay.com

ebay.de has 105,119 results on cars
You are all doing it wrong.
actually nobody is doing it wrong. everyone stayed within the cost cap and chose car/cars they wanted for that money

Ok.. It showed me which Country I came from though. And it showed plenty of parts for the cars.. just no cars.

But i'll try Ebay.de now: Results: 2
http://www.ebay.de/sch/Automob ... Alfa+Romeo+166&_sop=3

Mobile.de: 226 results.

Must do something wrong if all adverts of mobile are shown on ebay?

So no car for me then.. as those on ebay are ready for scrapyard.

Doesn't really matter anyway.. even Mobile doesn't have my Alfa for sale.. Must be the 3.2 V6 original TI, manual G.box in black with black momo interior (Original) and with harman kardon DSP audio. Just like my previous one except that was silver. Best car I've ever had.

Part of the fun is that your choises are limited to what is available in ebay. So if you have really specific car you want you may only be able to get something that is really close to it but not quite or get something different.
In NZ, Ariel Atom new....

Or a second hand Ferrari 365 GT 2+2, for a lot less and spend the remainder on servicing and insurance.............

Not the right one .

It's not black and it's not a TI. It has the wrong interior and I do like to have the wheel at the best side of the car

Well they are very rare in the exact form how I want one. Still there are some. I am looking in Italy, Swiss, Germany and Holland. I could bore you to death with which options the car should have as well..

* Onboard telephone (finally one that worked!)
* DSP Harman Kardon Audio ( no nonsense after market stuff)
* Electric adjustable seats / with heating + memory. ( All TI's had this orginally I believe and most 166's in general had this option onboard).

You got taste. Ferrari 512 preferably the M for me. Or else one hated by most.. a 412. Otherwise just one of the best looking cars this world has ever seen. the F-355. And when affordable for that money.. the best sounding car the world has ever seen: Challenge Stradale.

At least with such a low budget I can keep on dreaming about the very best this world has and will ever see. The F-40.

We're talking cars now!
