You come up on a windfall of $3 mill. You plan i to invest and save but want to buy 1 car. What car or truck would you buy and why?

I have so many more questions. lol

Dream car: Ferrari 288 GTO painted Blu Abu Dhabi Metallic.

P.S. I know $3M isn't quite enough, so I'd kick in the extra $300K myself

P.S.S. You have to list the car you'd buy as well, thread rules!

Not the right color blue, but you get the idea. This one was made for the Sultan of Brunei.

These games work much better with firmer rules or you get a bunch of spoilers saying "a base corolla and invest the rest".

Like "you've got 500K to spend on a car, new or used, cannot use the left over cash and cannot sell the car in the future".

I'd go a Singer 911 or Alfaholics Giulia.

Done

A BMW M440i Convertible -- just 70K or so and I would only drive it maybe 2,000 miles per year. Why that car? For those perfect days for a convertible.

Porsche GT2 RS. I would be at the track every weekend and the GT2 can absolutely carve.

I suggest a Mercedes Sprinter with a mobile MRI machine.

For me, I'm sure that there are a few deals out there for a low-mileage Mercedes-AMG W11 as a weekend track day toy.....

A loaded Macan GTS would both fit my lifestyle and, like my sit-up-straight bicycle, be age-appropriate.

An after-tax windfall of $150K would be enough to put me behind the wheel: $120K for the crossover in Aetna Blue and $30K so I didn't gag every time someone worked on it for me.

You’re going to blow your wad on an M440 and drive it a couple thousand miles a year? That sounds very boring.

Maybe it's because 3 mill would buy most any car. Unless he's hiding a secret stash.
