Next car in line

I was just thinking of the next car I should get after my G. I currently have a 05 Sedan 6mt and a 05 Fx35. I'm thinking of finding an used GTR and hopefully I'll be able to find one around $45k. Right now 09's goes for $50k

too rich for my blood... nor do i care for the maintence price.

right now i would look into a 2nd gen g35/g37 RWD but more likely i'm going to opt for a subaru of some sort. the G is too much for me. Its a VERY nice car, but overall not for me. I like a 05 forester XT, legact GT. Or maybe just opt to save cash and get a 5k car like the TDI.

i think i rather spend money in making money and a house VS money in making the car fast. But untill this car gets taken away from me somehow i'ma rock it.

I love my G and will drive it till the wheels fall off. I mean, its almost paid for at this point. Next car? I would say either an Audi S5 or Audi RS4. Some kind of Audi

It's not the price. It's the freakin' nightmare maintanance costs. No thanks. Plus as a family man, it has to have utility. So something like an used M56 or BMW 5 series or something would be it for me.

Either an M45 Sport or a G35S sedan for me. Stick with my sedans. Nice to be able to haul people and not have them crunching into a coupe backseat...

I'd probably consider a FX50. Those things are nice (and expensive!)

What are you wanting out of the car? Do you want the GTR for its 2+2 seating like a sedan but still having a beast of a car? Weekender? Daily driver? Because there's some good options out there depending on how you feel like using the car.

Love the FX50S. Saw a guy get on it leaving Infiniti of Tampa the other day and the sound was just.

I still am torn wheather or not i want to get a bigger car. I am kinda at that stage (and miles that i drive) where i just want sometihng that is super comfortable and a 4 hour interstate drive at 80 is nothing for the car or myself. Just get out refreshed, totally fine, good audio system, etc.

But then i still like a fun little cruise with an MT.. I am honestly torn and dont know what to do. I know the 2nd gen sedans are a lot quieter, nice interior, more features, etc vs my 05 and i think thats whats making me prefer that car in an MT. More comfortable than my car, while being more fun.

Hm, decisions.

EDITL Perferrably, i'd like to find something like this.

But its like, i'd like to get a car with around 30-40k and 21-22k. So its hard to find an M45 with those miles for that price.... bleh. I hate car shopping. Mine needs compression rods lol

You're young Janik. You have the rest of your life to drive big luxo mobiles. My bro bought a 03 M45 and it's cool. It's still pretty narrow but it's long. Comfy and fairly powerful. But it made me miss my 03 sedan with it's crappy interior and squeaky suspension. haha.
