10 Cars
Permalink  

It's been a while since we've had one of these threads. [:)]

You are allowed to get 10 cars. Each must be under $100,000, and you have a total price limit of $500,000. Furthermore, your 10 vehicles must include:

a). At least one vehicle with a third-row seat
b). At least one vehicle over $75,000
c). At least one vehicle with four-wheel-drive
d). At least one vehicle that can tow 5,000 lbs or more
e). At least one convertible
f). At least one car with 400 horsepower or more
g). At least one vehicle with 200 horsepower or less
h). At least one vehicle with an automatic transmission

Remember that one vehicle can fill multiple requirements. Feel free to use new or used vehicles, but they have to be stock.

Please follow the rules!

All of these are new vehicles, the allowance was enough I didn't mess with used ones. Also, these prices include the options I want (I went to all the websites and built a vehicle like I'd want if I were actually buying)
1. Cadillac XLR (over 75, and a convertible)- $76,650
2. Toyota Sequoia Limited 4x4 (third row, over 5,000 pound towing, 4x4)- $54,157
3. Cadillac CTS-V (400hp or over) - $52,685
4. Toyota Prius (200hp or under)- $27,786
5. Scion tC manual - $22,039
6. Audi A4 3.2 -$44,520
7. Lexus GS430 RWD- $59,899
8. Acura TL 5-speed Auto w/NAV- $37,429
9. GMC Envoy Denali (ifcar will love me getting this )- $43,590
10. Toyota Tundra Double Cab Limited 4x4- $43,316

Total price: $462,071
Put the change in a bank account. I really, really like that fleet.

Actually, everthing on that list was an auto, as priced. I could make the tC a manual... I need to get reaquainted with them. I'll change it in a minute.

While you're at it, lose the Envoy.

I made the tC a manual, and added acouple new options. And nope... I like the Envoy, and it looks especially good in Denali form.

I knew you'd be pleased. I just really like the exterior styling, and the interior, though a bit odd at first, really grew on me.

When you're spending $43,000 on a car, you probably want more than something that just looks nice. You want something that looks nice AND drives well.

When you have $500,000 and you MUST buy 10 cars, I don't think it'll be much of an issue.

I didn't really have a problem with the way the Envoy drives. It feels powerful, and it's a heck of a lot easier/nicer to drive than our last SUVs (suburbans).

Check out an SRX if you want to see what a good $43,000 SUV drives like.

Give it the Envoy's styling, and we'll talk about it. (I'm not a fan of the SRX styling too much. It's okay, but I don't love it.)

I'm no huge fan of its styling either. But there's far more to a car than its styling.
