What car should I get?
 
I think its about time I trade in my Jeep Wrangler for some new wheels... I narrowed my search down to two cars a hummer H2 or a BMW M3 I don't know what to pick. I like the h2 hummer but I think those are gas guzzlers well so is my jeep and with gas prices going up where I live..

Im not a car person but what would be good for a city area?

I know your gonna ask how where does an 18 year old get money for a hummer well most of the money is from my job been puttin money aside for years now ($45,360 is what I have) my mom or dad Is gonna pay the rest

Bean 2 08-17-2004 12:09 PM

Jeezus, if you indeed have that kind of coin laying around, get a cheap car and put the rest of that money into RRSPs or something. Make the money work for you, man.

harpua 08-17-2004 01:12 PM

if your gonna get a hummer, PLEASE get it in like black or something, not some fruity color like bright yellow or leotard red or something. i can't stand the fucks who truck around in an army-oriented truck, painting it yellow.


besides, BMWs are better.

Zoner 08-17-2004 01:19 PM

Look into the Land Rover Discovery. I think they're awesome lookin'.

buttsecks from mr. buttocks but hey, it's still secks happy:

Hawke 08-17-2004 01:22 PM

$35,000! I would buy a car that's decent but only around 10 grand and put the rest down on a house when your ready.


I started doing what you did about 6 months ago. Since I'm to young for a job I don't have alot of money yet, but for me $500 every 5-6 months is good for me. Then when I get a job, I'll be saving all of that. I want to get a 1960's Ford Mustang. rock:

Holy shit, thats awesome. Where might i find this?

Innoxx 08-17-2004 01:51 PM

Gawdy, buy a beater and invest the rest. Just buy a car that goes from A to B. If I had that kind of scratch; I'd keep saving up and open my own business.

PS. What do you do?

fujimi7su 08-17-2004 01:59 PM

dont get a hummer, theyre gay

BMW wouldnt be bad, but as you all know, id put the $$$ into a nice mustang GT, mmmm black, stalker body kit, custom interior.... mmmmmmm maybe a mach 1, red, factory custom wheels and body.... white racing accents

rock: happy:

BMW out of your choices, i just see no point in tossing money into a hummer... theyre ugly and theres no point in having one for city life. Plus, you look like a wiggar happy:

Sergeant_Scrotum 08-17-2004 04:13 PM

Sergeant_Scrotum 08-17-2004 04:27 PM

But my thoughts are the same as everyone elses, if you have all that money put it into an RSP. You will never have to worry about putting money towards retiring ever again. and when you do go to retire you will be a very rich man. So just go buy a dodge shadow or an older cavlier, it will be cheap to insure and run.

Pyro 08-17-2004 04:40 PM

M3 but fuck, you must be spoiled somehow.

Sergeant_Scrotum 08-17-2004 04:57 PM

yea, someone must been paying for all your stuff.

imported_Grim_Reaper 08-17-2004 04:57 PM

dont buy a new hummer, they blow. get an older military one then get a ton of shit for it. the new ones are built for comfort now but the older ones were built to be indestructible.

MrLevinstein 08-17-2004 05:03 PM

Buy a Chevy silverado z71, they cant do as much as the hummer but you live in the city, And personally they look bad assed as all hell

ninty 08-17-2004 05:14 PM

Do you know how much insurance is going to be with something like that?

Get something for 10 or 15 grand and save the rest. You don't need a new car, and the money will come in handy later in life.

I got an idea, lets buy a crappy made SUV, with a small engine and no towing capacity from japan. Because thats what SUVS are made for. Dude if youre gonna pay the extra nsurance on a SUV. get the biggest meanest v8 that can tow anything. Like a tahoe.

The man wants a SUV not a mini van with 4 wheel drive

Wow levi, thought you were knowledgable when i comes to cars. If you did you would know that the Toyota Highlander is probably the most reliable car for us non-car savy people.

Short Hand 08-17-2004 06:30 PM

Don't waste yourm oney on something so expensive, invest the rest of the cash. If your gonna buy a new car get a Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Get a used one from last year and save the rest of your cash.

It probably is, but not many people would go from wanting a hummer, to wanting a highlander, lol.

I take the comments back about the highlander. But if you want something along the lines of an off road american builty, small blocked bad assed SUV that can climb over a bunch of stuff at the drop of the hat, all while sounding mean and looking good

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... egory=6156

And as far as reliability, chevy has some tough work/play trucks for example:

We have a 1987 Silverado with 0 problems - 225k miles
We had a 1994 Blazer that had no mechanical problems- 166k+
My friends dad had a work truck 91 z71- Over 500K miles no bs here at all
And I know a guy who had a Silverado with over 200K and no problems

Short Hand 08-17-2004 06:34 PM

Lev.. that car aint worth it. On a year alone it would probably double its vlue in money invested in gas to fill the fucking thing up.
