If you won $1 million, what car would you buy first?

Patrick · 10-01-2022, 12:44 AM

For me in simple enough, probably a newish M3/M4

Robin_NL · 10-01-2022, 01:47 AM

Probably a Lancia Delta S4 streetversion, and or an original RUF CTR.

If not: some kind of Ferrari stuff a 296 and that new 'SUV'

Cheers
Robin

A few years ago, I would've answered Ferrari (California T or Portofino, depending on how many years ago) but now, at age 75, I consider that I have the perfect car: 2022 BMW M3 with 6-speed manual transmission, full leather, etc. I think it will be my last BMW and my last manual transmission. So, given a million, I'd pay off the smallish loan, and (off-topic) take my wife to Hawaii a few times and maybe a cruise or two. (I also might be tempted to buy the best low-mileage F83 M4 convertible I could find, though.)

Nowadays I scratch my Ferrari itch with a sizeable collection of Ferrari books, all of which have stains on the pages from my drooling. <grin>

GuidoK · 10-01-2022, 05:56 AM

I'd buy mote lottery tickets.....
I wanted to buy a Bugatti type 57 atlantique, but for that I need about 150 million.....

E93_Savage · 10-01-2022, 05:57 AM

92 Skyline gtst type m or 96/7 toyota chaser jzx100

tom2021 · 10-01-2022, 06:03 AM

$1 million can't buy a lot of things nowadays.
So, I just buy Porsche 911 and other stuffs.

BMWCCA1 · 10-01-2022, 06:55 AM

Half of a 507?

Tuxedo · 10-01-2022, 07:10 AM

Mrs Tux said no even with an extra mil laying around

Lady Jane · 10-01-2022, 07:15 AM

Anything by RUF or Singer.

chicagob5 · 10-01-2022, 07:32 AM

Probably between a 991.2 GT3 or a Huracan Performante for me. If I have to pick right at this moment...the GT3.

Kick 6 · 10-01-2022, 07:52 AM

Winning a million would net me just over 600K, so I'd pay off my tractor and buy a skid steer. But I'd add some accessories to my M6.

Alfisti · 10-01-2022, 08:22 AM

Alfaholics Giulia or Singer Porsche, would need to drive both.

G MONEY · 10-01-2022, 08:41 AM

Fully built R-34 and just drive around smoking M cars all day:-)

JMcLellan · 10-01-2022, 08:43 AM

Porsche GT2 RS

ASAP · 10-01-2022, 09:25 AM

Corolla XSE

ryan stewart · 10-01-2022, 09:28 AM

I wouldnt buy a car. I would probably put some money into the wagon and buy another motorcycle (probably an adventure or something stupid like a streetfighter). But the wagon is still my girl until I have to get it of it, then probably A Merc E450 wagon or Volvo V60.

This. Then invest the rest of the winnings.

You'd be left with around $200K I guess.

vreihen16 · 10-01-2022, 11:18 AM

I'd take it all and put it into an index fund that tracks the S&P 500. Halo cars are sooooooo over-rated.....

ezaircon4jc · 10-01-2022, 11:57 AM

Easy... Bentley GT. A hotrod daily driver.

wtwo3 · 10-01-2022, 01:15 PM

Are we saying the million is going towards car purchases solely? Because first thing I'd do is pay off all bills and be completely debt free...

But for the sake of conversation, if the money is meant for cars, then probably a 458 speciale aperta.

I couldn't imagine driving a million dollar car on the streets. I would just be too paranoid. I would still do it (daily) but it would drive me crazy
