Following on from MercuryT's thread we're going to have another on what car you're going to throw down 40 thousand hypothetical spondoolies on.
The scenario is: - $40K to spend on a secondary car (can spend less, or make up the balance in mods) - No AU Falcons - No strippers, nose candy, mortgage payments or other sensible uses of $40K allowed, has to be car and or car modifications related - Can be multiple cars (ie give us your top 3 etc) - Can be motorbike(s) or truck(s) - Throw up images of the cars While there's currently none for sale, I recently saw 3x E34 BMW M5's for sale for sub $30K recently:    - 250KW 3.8L I6 - Large Sedan - Manual - RWD - 'Classic Plastic' looks Modifications: - Aftermarket ECU - Freshen up Mechanicals - Tune Second choice: E38 BMW L7:   - Only 899 built world wide - Only 6 delivered to Australia - $375K back in the 1990s - 5.4L V12 - Could fire an RPG from the back seats and still miss the driver - Bond villain cool https://shop.peninsulabm.com/collect...3-auto-1999-07 Modifications: - Aftermarket ECU - Freshen up mechanicals - Tune Third choice: JZS171W Toyota Crown:      - Classic Plastic - JDM Luxo Spec - Nonna's Doilies - 1JZGTE Engine - Fly under the radar to Bingo Modifications: - Aftermarket ECU - 6boost turbo manifold - Borgwarner EFR 7163 turbo - Big *** front mount intercooler - 3" turbo back exhaust - Walbro 460 fuel pump - 1000cc Bosch fuel injectors - Turbosmart FPR1200 fuel pressure regulator - Toyota Yaris Ignition Coils - MV Automatics built A340 auto box - New Nonna-spec doilies - Tune - Freshen up mechanicals Should be good for 300KW/rears with those mods, ride in style to Bingo

Similar size to my R36 albeit yours newer etc. A really handy size IMO - not too big so drives sweet not truck like, but can carry much more than a hatchback. |

I'll get flamed but this modded Maloo would do me nicely. I'd lower it asap.
Leaves 10K for my Caravan purchase on top!

Maybe an FGX G6ET or........
Drop a Barra Turbo in my Sportsman and use the change to freshen up the interior. Hey, it's not an AU Falcon.....

Bloody coils kept blowing on my BA, yet never leaked oil ever. The Maloo LS1 had a new oil leak by the time you fixed the previous one!! Was no drama etc just messy and a pain!!
