You just got a Christmas bonus check for $100,000. So which car or cars do you buy?

OK, so you didn't get a Christmas bonus check for $100,000.

But this is the internet and we can imagine anything we want, so just for a few minutes, let’s pretend we did.

The boss hands you the check and says there is only ONE catch.

You have to spend every penny on a vehicle or vehicles.

Cars or trucks only…no bikes, atv’s, boats, etc.

And you have to make your mind up in the next fifteen minutes and give him/her an answer with your choice/choices.

So what’s it going to be Auto Spies?

Tell us your choice/choices.

And that’s $100,000 USD and you are purchasing vehicles only available in the good old USA.

We’ll all make our choices after a few comments are posted…

Let the dreaming and fun begin!

I'll take the S550 but only after the Audi A8L and without the overpriced AMG stuff. My second choice would be the CLS550 with standard equipment only. I am upset with Mercedes for providing LSD only as part of a very expensive package on the CLS. LSD should be standard on all RWD cars. It's a very cost-effective way to provide the safety of added winter traction.

With Audi's A8L I would not only get a Quattro system with a Torsen center differential but I would also get an aluminum body that will not rust out eventually.

EnnNorak-

rust? where do you live and how long would you keep it? You spend $100,000 on any car you shouldn't have to worry about rust until way after you've gotten rid of it.

Need4Speed, I live in Canada and most jurisdictions here use salt in the winter to melt snow on the road. Salt eats steel bodies alive and makes the car look like hell -- that is why I really like aluminum bodies. AWD or 4WD is a must for winter traction although I would be quite happy with LSD on a RWD car.

BTW, they sand the roads only in Edmonton (no salt) which is great. I think the aluminum-bodied Audi A8L is the kind of vehicle one can pass on to the next generation.

I got serious with this. I went to the company's website and "build and priced" some cars. here are my choices:
2008 Lexus RX400h AWD-Base MSRP* $42,580.00+ Package $7,001.00= $50,346.00+ shipping, ect. This would be the SUV for trips. And wifes car.

2008 Smart ForTwo Convertible-Base MSRP* $12,900.00+ Package $500.00= $13,400.00+ shipping, ect. I want this just for the novelty.

That leaves me with $53,746.00. I currently own a 2007 Mercedes S-Class AMG And a 2006 BMW X5
With the $53,746.00 I would get:

2008 Mercedes Benz C-Class AMG- Base MSRP:$37,275.00+ Package $4,674.00= $48,702.00+ shipping, ect. I want this for a daily car.

Then use save the rest!

I would love to get the Jaguar XKR Portfolio, or Porsche 997 turbo, or Continental Flying Spur, or even the Nissan GTR. But to be frank if I had that much money, I will just get myself an ariel atom, and would spend the rest of the money in buying a sporty Jaguar XF supercharged. I would be able to use the ariel atom on the track and the XF can be used for everyday and long distance driving.

I'm in a quandary.

Should I get an Audi S8, which I could afford if I clean out my savings account to supplement the $100k bonus?

Or should I get the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, which is possible if I supplement the bonus with a second mortgage on the house?

What do you think, guys?

Can I make this 100000 pounds? As 1000000 dollars isn't worth very much England right now...I could probably only just get E500 or X5 or something...
For 100000 pounds though....*runs to check prices*
either:
A CL63 AMG (with no change)
or
A CLK63 AMG cabriolet, with enough change for an Audi S3/Used Touareg/used X5/used Range Rover
or
An M6 Convertible, with enough change for accessories
or
A 911 Carrera S Cabriolet, with change for a used E class Estate (because I'm practical like that)

Damn, now I can't decide...
I think overall I would go for the CLK and the used Range Rover.

The problem is not many cars are priced around $100 grand. You should ask your boss for an additional $20-3- grand bonus. $120-$130 grand would give you a lot better choices.

I'll take the Audi R8 or a diesel V10 version over any other.
