NoFakie 45 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 As for cars, there's loads of fantastic ones to buy if you are not restricted to one that can carry x kids or y amount of gear for your job or hobby. If you don't mind buying second hand, the choice is even more. No need to rush the decision I love looking at the second hand car books. I can read them, or more like drool over the pictures, for hours. If your work involves going to see people and you want to impress them, 10-15% more than a new BRZ gets you a low mileage (20-30,000 km) Porsche. Something like this Cayman.

pie-eater 207 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thing is, do Porsches actually 'impress'? Or read 'mid-life crisis' or something else? Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Not impressed by Porches, but I do like the Cayenne Hybrid. Second hand 911s just shouts fat bald wanker in crisis. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I don't like Porches either, and they certainly would not impress me, more scream out only a "tosser" drives a Porche! Instead an Aston Martin Vanquish or Vanquish Volante now that would impress! Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thing is, do Porsches actually 'impress'? Or read 'mid-life crisis' or something else? The price of 911s in Japan impresses me, and that car looks quite like one. I remember the local police chief saying that that Ferrari pile up last year was on its way to "a meeting of narcissists", but most Japanese folks aren't anywhere as dry as that. To them, having a flash car just means you like cars. None of that British cynicism there. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I think I'd be way too way too self-conscious driving around in a Porsche. Though I'd like to give one a test drive! Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Can you get second hand Rolls Royce's here? There's a few dozen on Goo. The modern ones have crappy headlights and look like newish big American saloons or even that wacky Will car Toyota make, so what you want is an old one with the double round lights and the Parthenon in chrome in between. Like this Silver Shadow. In a word, REGAL. And I don't mean twenty king size. Buy a jacket with lots of medals on, ride in the back and you too can be Phil the Greek. It's actually on sale near my missus' home town, from the aptly named "Boss.net". 4 million yen to you sir. Link to post Share on other sites

That's regal indeed....however, I think we have to consider staying within Maru's budget range...... here's a happy compromise. Regal yet fiscally responsible... Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 We are currently looking at getting the Mitsubishi PHEV. It's a plug in hybrid SUV that supposedly gets around 1.9L/100km fuel efficiency. Link to post Share on other sites
