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......

there was a white 335 non convertible at that Carmax by your place - I'm telling you - paint those rims black - tune it - and tint the front windows - you will be thanking me. I don't remember which yr. it was BRC.

I can't recommend the 335i enough - for 'bang for you buck' - honestly - though it's discontinued (per Miles) - I'll still probably own another one. Love those things tuned - You wouldn't believe it - You'd dust posters like Hemi Ed and the other Charger heads - :P

I just think you go ahead and go 335 if you stick to 3 - that twin t's + 300stock WHP - The platform for tuning on a 335 is second to none - it is the fastest car for that money - and it's sickening fast after a tune - in fact - once they offer that on your 235 - I'd definitely look into it - it's SOOOO fun and changes your entire cars feel (in a great way.) Trust me. It may be tune-able right now, I'd check Burger Motorsports or Cobb Tuning.

Wow, that 750 is 30 inches longer than the 2 series and weighs 900 pounds more. The opposite of a coupe, but I'd be interested to know if that engine makes up for it.

also if any of you explore tunes - though more expensive around 2600 or there abouts - the Cobb Access port is awesome and feels more stock than Burgers JB4 - now Burger MS JB4 device absolutely will give you more pull - but the smoothness of the Cobb - is what I prefer - because it's still sickening fast. See here:

I've ruled out the Mustang. I just don't like the 2015 models. I've driven a Pony for 10 years, love it. But they screwed the pooch by ****ing with the design.

It is what it is. No big deal - I DO like true older American cars - a lot actually.

Some people arent hot on the looks, but everything else about the car has been improved. Ford stole a lot of good stuff from AstonMartin, and married it to the Mustang.

That being said, I have the largest pre-owned inventory in Missouri. www.machens.com

check me out~

I was looking at the 750 as a traveling car. We have Lincoln MKX. Figured that we could sell that get her the Mini-cooper that she wants and when we travel use the 750. Don't get me started on the stupid ass mini-cooper.

But the door jam may be a deal breaker anyway. And I want a damn sports car.

My first choice for you would be the 335 - but I'd go about 2009 with low mileage - they still look great and you won't be 'car poor' - but most DEFINITELY get it tuned - and I can guide you there - AT A MINIMUM please at least drive one. No offense home town.

Yeah, and as far as my strategy, I didn't follow it, so I agree the extra power is worth it... but, the budget dictates that strategy to some extent. If $45-50 in play, definitely look at the 6 cylinders.
