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 that said Miles - Again I'm only speaking of my experiences - they (BMW) certainly have the right to void the warranty. But if you have a nice Service Center - they'll cut you a break - OR simply find a German car service center that ALSO offer tunes - they'll be cool about it - I'd bet cash money on that. They know how it b. It's ruff out here on the street. They ain't even know! Naw mean? Sorry I don't know where he came from just now.

Not going to work on my car. No enjoyment there. I like using my toys, not repairing or enhancing them. I'll pay someone to do the repairing or enhancing.

Right now, it looks like I'm going to buy on Saturday. I have to leave town on Sunday for 2 /2 weeks. I've narrowed it down to the BMW 335 or the Challenger. I think both will be gone this weekend due to tax refund weekend.

I think it's hot - If the sides aren't tinted, I'd do that - also just go legal limit - otherwise it's too much. Just do legal 32 tint -

What do you think Hemi-Ed? I trust your opinion. In 2015, is the Challenger the best of the retro muscle cars?
I do for several reasons BRC.

Room being first and foremost.

My old boss and best friend had three of the new Camaros (2 for children) and I had several opportunities to drive and ride in them.

My new Mustang experience is more limited, but if you were looking to go fast, I think they have the most bang for the buck in that department.

Since Obama gave Chrysler to Fiat, they have done some nice things with improving the interiors and styling across the board in my opinion.

They have pretty much stuck with the original Challenger styling cues and haven't deviated from it as much as the Camaro and Mustang.

They share the same production line with the 300C and Charger in Brampton. They are pretty much the same car until you start counting doors. I believe mine weighs a little over 4000, and that helps in the ride and room department.

I will say this though, it is a blast to drive on the Ozark/Tablerock lake roads! I have upgraded it to the SRT Bilstein suspension though, as an SRT owner was converting his to air bags.

I'm thinking the SXT Plus

Also thinking of going to the V8 model if the insurance agent can get the price down.
