What kind of Car should Tim buy in Germany.
 
I say Evo VI or Evo III, or a version 5 STI, no wait get one of those Maxi 5 turbos.

Dean 2006-03-16 08:35 AM

A Porsche of course. Twin Turbo AWD please.

Or can you say RUF?

JC 2006-03-16 08:52 AM

22B

A1337STI 2006-03-16 09:04 AM

Get the RUF isn't it like 500 HP with AWD ? probably over 1.0 G's on a skid pad ?

JonnydaJibba 2006-03-16 09:24 AM

Dude Renault Maxi 5 for sure! OR an Evo. I hope I can buy his car though.

sp00ln 2006-03-16 09:47 AM

Evo 6 - the tuners choice.

Euro M3.

Werd... that's the car you need to bring back Tim. But while you're there, score something you just can't get here, like a Lancia or the Maxi 5. :)

Okay, considering the cost of cars in Europe (think twice what we pay here)... I seriously doubt he's going to drop $30,000 on a used EVO. Or scrape together $100,000 for a 22b. Nevermind what it would take to buy a RUF. You might as well recommend "dude, you should pick up one of those space shuttles, I hear they cruise at 17,500 mph!" :roll:

How about looking for something affordable that you can't get here, like a Skoda, or a Renault. They're probably in the right price range, though they won't be sports cars or anything. Or go crazy, buy a Russian car just to say you had one... though I'd hate to work on it if it broke.

E30/E36 Bimmers are pennies in Germany.

$100k? Ya right. A LHD one might fetch around there, but a RHD should be $30-40k USD. It's a lot of money, but how often do you get to own a 22B?

An M3 in Germany is a lot less than the non-M here in the states. It's Germany's Z28/Mustang GT. :p

Dude, the cheap one you listed is $50,000... and then he's still got to import it to Germany from the UK. Sure, it's not $100k, but he's gonna spend that kinda money on a car, he should wait till he gets back and buy a brand new Z06 or a Porsche Turbo.

Ya I wrote the prices based on an ad I saw, then found the link after. Either way 22B for the win. It's not like you wouldn't get the money back when you sold it. Unlike someone else with a $60k Subaru. :p

that's just the asking price. It'll sell for a mere $80-85k most likely. :p

cody 2006-03-16 12:49 PM

Oh, is that all?

MattR 2006-03-16 01:01 PM

I say he gets a 68 Lincoln Continental with Suicide doors with a license plate that says 'wondrsx". He would own that country.

Lincoln Continentals kick ass.

Bob Danger 2006-03-16 01:30 PM

It would be wise if he bought a car with a USDM counter part. it will make it easier when he tries to import it when he returns from Germany. If he doesn't plan on bringing the car back, then he should not spend alot of money and just get a VW or something.
