Help me buy a new car.
My beloved 2005 Mustang has reached the end of its life. 144K miles its time to move on. Going to start a new job with a commute across a long bridge over water. Going to miss it.


You help me decide. Point me in the right direction. Give me the great info that puts me in the right car.......I'll send $50 to the charity of your choice.

Criteria:
I want to spend between $30k - $40K.
Automatic
Got some style
Have to be able to fit in the car comfortably
Prefer a coupe


Right now I'm thinking new Challenger, Nissan 370Z, Mustang etc. Son is telling me to look at used Mercedes, Lexus etc.

What ideas do you have?

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 03/11/2015
It's a done deal. I've bought and ordered a 2015 Challenger SCAT Pack Shaker. 392 Hemi 6.4L, 486 HP, 475 toruque, 4.1 second 0-60 time. Has all the same luxury "stuff" as the BMW and Lexus's.

Last years "Shaker" models sold out in 4 days. I decided if I was going retro, go all in and went with the lime green 1971 Challenger remodel. Bumblebee stripe and the Shaker hood. I deleted the stripes on the roof and the hood. Will take 6-8 weeks for delivery. Dark wheels.

I gave $50 each to the charity of their choice to Bearcat and Miles. When Simply Red shows back up, I'll get his charity the money.

The Car arrived finally......

With your criteria I think BMW might really hit what you are looking for. I'm biased since current and previous cars are/were BMW coupes. Researched the hell out of it both times and always landed on BMW.

What are you looking to test drive tomorrow?

Try driving the M235 that was suggested. Have heard really good things about it being a really nice drivers car. 2014 428i is also in that range and looks great if you can get over the odd side marker things.

If you are considering anything a slightly more used than basically new there may be some more to consider from BMW (2012 335is/2010 M3 maybe 2011 M3).

I'm with your son. Used has more value and it's my next move. I'm also going to be selling my Mustang to do it. The S class is a great fit for fat guys.

Yup - once they figure out those turbos and a tune - throw a tune on it to get 80-100 more/WHP. Probably be another 8 mos -> 1 yr before they have the tuning plan in place (too new a model)

You can now legally import the 1989 R32 GTR Nissan Skyline. 600 HP, AWD, although it is a manual. With mods and NOS, you should be able to get it around your price range.

Thanks but the manual is a deal breaker. Just don't want to mess with shifting in traffic. After a hard day of work who wants to concentrate on gears in traffic?

also a tuned 335i will beat 90% of what's on the road and offer tremendous torque rating. I had 349 TRUE WHP on that black one - My current M would eventually have caught that 335i - but it'd have taken about a mile to do so. And the m5 is a v10.

A downside to the 2 series specifically might be the sport seats.... I didn't find them uncomfortable, but they are meant to hug your sides. The 4 series is basically the same coupe, but with more space and maybe more stuff that comes standard.

The trick between test driving say a 228 or 428 and then 235/435/m Series is to drive the lesser 228/428, and if it's more than enough power and fun, do not under any circumstances go near a 235 or 435 or M car. If you plan on driving both, just save yourself the time and go straight to the 35s. I did not follow my own advice.

I'm making it my goal to trade both of my cars in for a year old M4 in 2015. It's not a good investment (I realize) - but I don't really care TBH.
