If you could only have *ONE* CAR......

[HypnoToad]

I thought lexus only owned the car for the 1st couple years to keep the dealers was running up the prices and from people buying them just to resale em.

well i mean look at the ferrari FXX,you give them money and you never own it,you cant even take it home with you I think.

These "people that are gonna buy it" Talk about some of the most ridiculous things you have to go through to lease to own a car.

Autoblog:
The monthly lease payment on the Lexus LFA is $12.398.44. For 24 months. That's $297,562.56 worth of lease payments over two years, at the end of which you own nothing. However, Lexus is quick to point out that the LFA's MSRP is $375,000, so you're technically not paying full price. And at the end of 24 months, lessees are free to plunk down an additional $93,750 (more than the base price of a very comparable Nissan GT-R, we should mention) and buy their LFA outright.

Of course, you can't just waltz into your local Lexus dealership with $12,398.44 and rocket waltz out in an LFA. Lexus has to actually select you to lease its (admittedly awesome) car. Once you're chosen, you've got 10 days to drop off a $10,000 deposit at your local Lexus dealer and submit to a credit check. We should mention that this will not be the only deposit and credit check Lexus requires.

Once your credit checks out, you then have to deposit an additional $50,000. To mini-recap, that's $60,000 down on a $375,000 car. Sounds reasonable (from a detached, algebraic ratio perspective) until you remember that you're not buying the car, just leasing it. All of this will be/is happening from March–June 2010. Production of the LFA doesn't start until December. We don't know how long each car will take to build, but customers lessees will be required to go through a second credit check immediately prior to delivery. We're not entirely sure you really want to pass the second credit check. Here's why.

Remember the $12,398.44 per month lease payment we mentioned a couple paragraphs up? That's just the breakdown. All LFAs are being doled out via Lexus' 1Pay Lease Program. Meaning that to lease the LFA, you hand Lexus a check for $237,562.56, which is the full amount of the lease minus your $60,000 pair of deposits. Oh, and there's a $700 "aquisition fee." Plus tax, title, license and registration. The good news? Even though you have to lease the LFA, because of the lengthy approval/deposit process, each car is still made to order. Meaning that even though you don't own the car, you can still order it in Passionate Pink, a $3,000 option.

Umm...I withdraw my previous statement lol

Jeep SRT8



Why? Easy. Its just a perfect all around vehicle. Its roomy, fast, and can be driven in any weather.

Sure I love lambos, Porsche's, etc. like the next guy, but I doubt I would enjoy driving it every single day of my life. I know Lambos and Ferraris have the worst blind spots ever and would suck to drive everyday. I couldn't fire up my LP640 to make a quick run to Kroger lol

This:


MY CHOICE : Lamborghini Revention

WHY? : Does it really need an explanation?

Color: See provided pic

Interior: Stock

Wheels: probably either stock or some HREs

Exhaust: Something involving a couple of turbos.

These "people that are gonna buy it" Talk about some of the most ridiculous things you have to go through to lease to own a car.

yeah i'm fully aware of the lease to own process. (it is a bit over the top, but the exclusivity [sp?] would be pretty kick ass once you've jumped through all the flaming hoops) but the point of this thread is money and all that set aside. ANY one car. that would be my choice. and i'm sure that someone in the financial position to throw that kind of money around for a car, wouldn't really miss it too much.

I thought lexus only owned the car for the 1st couple years to keep the dealers from running up the prices and from people buying them just to resell them.

well i mean look at the ferrari FXX,you give them money and you never own it,you cant even take it home with you I think.

yeah that's the reasoning i've heard behind it.

and yes the FXX stays with ferrari, however the will deliver it to a track day for you to drive it, and then promptly take it back once you're done.

[swimshark]

this is it. i would want it because youd pretty much be the only one with one on the streets and if i could quit staring at it in my garage id want to drive the ever living shit out of it and enjoy every moment in it. there are a few cars id also want to get but this one has caught my attention the most.

[patrick2876]

i would drive an 08 cummins turbo diesel.
marron, jacked up on 8inch long arm suspension.
rockstar 18, wrapped with 38'' micket thompson.
banks big hoss bundle, smoke stacks,

something like thatt

Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst:



Sure, it doesn't look as good as the Pontiac G8, but it makes the most incredible noises. It has four doors, a proper trunk, you can drive it daily and be very comfortable, then you can stomp the pedal and love your investment every day of the week. I'd call in sick to work just to go driving around. Here it is on Top Gear, enjoy the noise.

I would Definatly go with the Henessy Viper ACR.

*Looks awesome, Side exhaust turns me on.
*Pull up to almost anything at a redline, you win.
*Amazing downforce, would be a killer track car for the weekends.
*Twin Turbo's.
*1000HP, 1100 ft/lbs, runs 2.9 0-60, Top speed of 255 mph, and one of the few cars that can spank the Veyron in just about every category.
*The Viper series has been my favorite car line for a long time, and this car tops it off.

[Gorilla Eg!]

great cars, keep em coming!....and remember to give good explanations! its HALF THE FUN!

I'm tempted to change my original response. I don't think I could bring myself to DD a 69 Camaro, as much as I love them I would really want it to me my weekend toy just to show off in. I loved the VXR8 Bathurst since I saw it on Top Gear, I like the styling more than the G8 and the loud pedal is just crazy. I'd love the chance to drive one of these.

[87 Turbo II]

Right now:

2009 BMW M5. 4 doors, 4 seats, comfortable, V-10 with a 8,500 RPM redline. 500 hp. Handles well, looks good, and with the Meisterschaft exhaust system that makes the damn thing sound like a Ferrari V8.

The sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1_OKkZzp4

a very sensible choice my friend...

thanx,it's somthin i've been thinkin bout doin that one day.

Thanks, I agree with the '69 Camaro, it's so beautiful, but I wouldn't want any wear and tear on it. I know that I'd have a dozen cars in the garage that I'd never drive if I ever had the money, I think I'd drive a VXR8 or even a G8, it's a good everyday, with a bite.

[msanch24]

audi rs4 hands down.

It has perfect power, 4 doors, beautiful curves and gills, a stellar interior, sounds awesome, and jesus it looks good. im leakin a little bit.

[The Creeper]

Hands down for me would be a BAN III car with the 605 hp LS7. One of the baddest cars on the road. Year one took one of the coolest looking cars in history and gave it a modern suspension and power plant. The second I can afford a 100k car, I will be buying the year one bandit.

ls9 Cressida lol

[alpine_aw11]

Probably a 98 GTS Viper, or a new ACR. I can't really decide but they're two of the same model so it's ok.

Reason? I want my car to just be me and a v10. Vipers have a ballsy feel no other car matches, it's so basic and simple yet the performance is amazing. I doubt I would enjoy anything more.
