what do you drive-

2009 vw rabbit

'96 Jeep Grand Cherokee, approaching 200k and 15yr anniversary.

'02 Olds Bravada with 120k miles. I've put on over 40k in the last year year and a half driving around MI/IN/OH for work. Amazingly the beast gets 22-25 mpg hwy. Going to hold on to this baby until she dies and can't be resurrected. However, I'm planning on buying my future mom-in-law's '08 Ford Fusion in September. We don't really need two cars, but I'm getting a great price on it and hopefully a job at Ford in June.

Being Michigan born and bred... it's like a sin to drive anything foreign. A lot of my family works for Ford and my boyfriend's family works for GM (all the way back to his great grandparents who moved up to Flint in the 30's to work at Buick.)

Originally posted by jayxprez you can probably figure out which one.

see the one on the left?it cost as much as a new m5.

Edit: I should say it cost more than a new m5 as it msrp start 80k.

Originally posted by sevenstarsfall Im sure he'd sell you that M5 for 75k seeing how that cars probably only worth 25k tops but probably less, its not a newer M5.

Originally posted by sevenstarsfall Isnt that a GTR? I believe the M5 is around 1k more, c'mon now....

so, you saying a m5 start at 80k new?

Oh I was talking about the M5 on page 2 of this thread posted by shakazulu. But are you saying they start at 85,700 dollars

Im liking alot of these cars. Im an import guy though.

95 Nissan 240sx. alot in suspension and brakes. turbo setup is in the garage and going on shortly. But paint first.

Originally posted by sevenstarsfall and mods usually dont add to the price of a vehicle, most people get the same or more for an untouched car or atleast thats how it is around me.

totally agree on that. with that kind of money for a car, i definitely going for something more exotic than a nissan or bmw

Just for giggles, I have the original invoice from my car.  The first owner bought it when it first came out and they were on a two year waitlist for $110,000.  I guess he really wanted an M5.   Sticker on it back then was 75ish with the options.  I bought it in 03 for a lot less.

Now that I have racked up 150,000 miles on it, its probably barely worth 12k.  M5 values drop like a freaking rock when they get older since the maintenance can be incredibly expensive.  I.e, a REFURBISHED motor from BMW is $23,000, more than the value of the car. 

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever buy an M5 (or M3 IMHO) that has not been owned by an enthusiast who took care of it.  Either that, or learn how to do stuff yourself.  I have probably saved close to 10k over the years just by doing the services myself on it.  Anyone who wants to give me 25 grand for it is welcome too, I would probably just buy another one with lower miles though. 

The Nissan GTR is a pretty sick car, its growing on me a lot now that the tranny issues have largely been sorted out.  I was kinda hoping it would have Z06 like resale values, but that doesn't appear to be happening since Nissan is keep production really low.  Rumors are only 315 coming into the usa this year.

Originally posted by xxsweet_jen24xx Holy cow! I just looked to see how much our Element is worth, and it's worth more than we paid for it! We bought it used (with 6k miles on it) for $17,500 and kbb says it's worth $19,980 with the mileage we have on it now.

Haha, I just checked ours and it's worth $2,200 at best!  That's what we get for having over 230,000 miles on it and being 10 years old
