Thinking of getting an altima

Looking to buy a new car- budget $50k

[drifting cliff]

Def troll

50k for altima

you can get a certified pre owned 2018 or newer lexus ls500

For 50k

[fervent blade]

New cars ain’t it imo

With 50k you could get an nsx

100% worth it too

[fervent blade]

Gross

Don’t get a Renault Nissan

[fervent blade]

Super reliable, handles well, more beautiful than any car in the market rn for that price; and will pick up the ladies fr

[drifting cliff]

New cars look good

[wise briar]

not a troll, i really don't know anything about cars

[wise briar]

thank you for the recommendation

[drifting cliff]

dont get that

[wise briar]

I'll look into pre owned cars as well

im just worried abt the warranty

[drifting cliff]

thats why i said you can get a certified pre owned lexus ls which comes with cpo warranty

[wise briar]

The only ones I found come with no warranty 😅

[drifting cliff]

well

Thats why i said CPO

[wise briar]

Okay thank you

[fleet vault]

GG @wise briar, you just advanced to level 1! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[wise briar]

ill look into it

[drifting cliff]

Go to the website of the manufacturer you want and use their certified pre owned tool

To find cpo cars

[fervent blade]

For the price nothing will look as good as a nsx lmao

[wise briar]

none available in my area, thx for the help tho

[drifting cliff]

There are many better looking cars out there

[fervent blade]

Show me within the price range

Also the nsx is full aluminum and an rr

Such a perfect car

[drifting cliff]

Weak frame

Death trap

[quaint bramble]

Where you finding a 90's nsx for 50k or less? The only one near me has an asking price of 165,000. Tbf it only has 26,000km on it but still, an S2000 seems more in his price range

[polar moat]

Just get an MDX and call it a day 😎 ⛱️

[fervent blade]

automatics are 50k

[fervent blade]

probably a type r

or a usdm manual with stuff done to it

[wise briar]

Is the audi A3 any good?

[quaint bramble]

What do you want out of a car? Speed, practicality, luxury, 2 door, 4 door, electric, gas, etc it'll help us make better recommendations 🙂

[wise briar]

Gas
Speed
4 door
RWD or AWD
New car if possible (open to used cars but its hard to find used cars with warranty here)
I live in Dubai so some of the prices are a bit inflated
I don't mind SUVs or Sedans, I was looking at the Audi A3 and the mercedes Cla.
I don't mind any company (I dislike volkswagen)
Nissan Safari and Super Safari are an option for me too

[quaint bramble]

If you like speed the CLA is much better than the A3. Some sedans to look into could be Infiniti Q50 Redsport, Chevy SS, the CLA, BMW 340i, Subaru WRX STI, Audi S4, some Cadillacs or Jaguars may fit your needs as well, not really sure what you have access to in Dubai

Oh, Dodge Chargers with any of their v8 engines are also a fast sporty sedan

[wise briar]

Thank you for the help

[quaint bramble]

For SUVs look at Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Alfa Romeo, and maybe Toyota, not too many companies make fast SUVs, (my criteria for "fast" is sub 7 second 0-100)

Good luck with picking something!

[wise briar]

I appreciate the help

[drifting cliff]

Audi is vw

[drifting cliff]

Honda odyssey

[worthy shoal]

If your going to get a new car, get something with a warranty.

People hating on the new Nissans but they are not bad vehicles.

Especially in Dubai you guys get the better Nissans.

[harsh fossil]

Lexus, very high quality and big engine. It's toyotas luxury brand

[narrow ibex]

You could get most of the realistic car’s on my dream list for 50k

Also its better to buy slightly used than new, significantly cheaper. Can think of zero scenarios where its beneficial to buy mew. The 2021 with 20k miles is really the same car as the 2023 car

[near tide]

Maserati Levante or Grecale second hand there a whole lot more reliable than the older models

[fervent blade]

Ya I wouldn’t get a Maserati

Most unreliable brand pretty much, only a few some what reliable ones

[near tide]

I know Maserati has a bad reputation but as a said the SUV’s are more reliable than the older ones

[true hamlet]

get a GR86

[gritty quarry]

supra

got mine for 50 with 2 miles on it

[fervent blade]

Very decent choice

Very nice inline 6 engine

Just don’t get the i4

[fervent blade]

They are okay, I just don’t have faith in boxer engines. It’s just an engine that works against gravity; you got 2 heads hanging off the side of the block. The dowels bend and warp over time causing leaks and damaged head gaskets.

[fervent blade]

I don’t know that many people who would take a Maserati suv

[gritty quarry]

i got the 2.0

[fleet vault]

GG @gritty quarry, you just advanced to level 5! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[gritty quarry]

the i4 isnt bad

[gritty quarry]

its a more expensive brz ew

only downside to the supra is that a lot of them dont come with the safety package that has a ton of stuff i wanted and you cant have it added on afterwards

but still a nice car

[gritty quarry]

oh and that it has like no storage

[fervent blade]

I mean for a moder day supra it is kinda down-powered and doesn’t go off its i6 heritage. Also b58 is a beast, and is way way more worth it, especially if you are going for high hp

Like the 3.0 makes over 120hp more

[fervent blade]

Wdym by safety package

[fervent blade]

It’s slower the the mk4 I am pretty sure

[gritty quarry]

eh it was enough power for me ig

if you wanna spend the extra 8 or 10k go for it

i still whoop most cars on the highway

[gritty quarry]

bro what

[gritty quarry]

mirror warnings for lane change

sos button

uhh

what else

oh

apple car play

[fervent blade]

It makes legit the same as the mk4 and the mk4 is lighter wdym

[gritty quarry]

ur comparing two different generations of parts though

[fervent blade]

Just saying I wouldn’t want a new car getting outperformed by the 20year old model imo

[fervent blade]

What does that have to do with performance?

[gritty quarry]

fr?

[fervent blade]

It should be faster

[gritty quarry]

transmission is different aint it?

parts are more modern

[fervent blade]

Ya but it has better tech and is getting outperformed

[gritty quarry]

shape of the mk5 is more aerodynamic

more downforce

[fervent blade]

Weight>aero

[gritty quarry]

i dont think it does get outperformed lemme look it up

[fervent blade]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aF5RWZ_KEOc

@gritty quarry

[gritty quarry]

stock tho?

[fervent blade]

I will watch it too

Yes of course

[gritty quarry]

kk

hey i could be wrong

but ill be damn surprised

yeah

[fervent blade]

I didn’t finish it yet, but for the mk4 they picked a fucking 4 speed slush box wtf

[gritty quarry]

newer parts kinda outweighs hp when its close like that

hence why i get gapped by the same model of my car

only 10 years newer

other car*

gti

[fervent blade]

Well the mk4 won the first race lol

With a shit transmission 😂

[gritty quarry]

no?

not against the 2

[fervent blade]

Ya

Yes

[gritty quarry]

0-0

[fervent blade]

Was it the 3.0 then

[gritty quarry]

yeah

2.0 beat both

[fervent blade]

Wtf

[gritty quarry]

just shit drivers

lmao

[fervent blade]

It makes less hp

[gritty quarry]

its bc the 3 fucked the launch

[fervent blade]

Ya they were complaining about the launch

[fervent blade]

Ya

[gritty quarry]

but you also gotta think about that

does the mk4 have lc?

[fervent blade]

No and it has the worst transmission it could have for the race

[gritty quarry]

oh i watched a bit further

it seems like the mk4 catches the 2.0 on a longer strip

limiter related maybe?

[fervent blade]

No it’s the transmission

The mk4 had a shitty transmission, if it was a manual in the race (which it should have been) It would have won

[gritty quarry]

yeah it was an auto

rip

that shit was SPINNIN

but hey regardless

[fervent blade]

Fucking 4 speed auto

[gritty quarry]

for being so much older

it sure holds up well

wont be winning any launches tho

[fervent blade]

Fr, don’t think any car really back then had launch

[gritty quarry]

yeah

explains its price of twice the amount of the 2.0

[fervent blade]

Ya the b58 is a great engine for tuners too

[gritty quarry]

its too bad i wanna see it from a roll

dont think they do one

[fervent blade]

Ya kinda disappointed, thought they would do a bit more

And actually use the proper tranny

[gritty quarry]

oh wait!

they do a roll

[fervent blade]

Fr

[gritty quarry]

yeah damn

mk4 wins

against 2

3 takes first

but obviously its a 3 liter lol

[fervent blade]

Ya I mean it makes sense, more hp and less weight. In a roll, even with a shit transmission; it was gonna win

[true hamlet]

guess that means the boxster is out too

[fervent blade]

I mean they are fine

Just not really built for reliability with mods imo

I have a Subaru too and it is fine, just would never mod it

[true hamlet]

i just think requiring it to be a new car is really going to constrain you

[fervent blade]

IMO if I had that money I would import an auto nsx. But I don’t know if he would want that

[gritty quarry]

buy a 2000 4 runner

save the rest

[fervent blade]

I mean full aluminum and looks amazing

[gritty quarry]

wont need another car for 30 years
