#ExoticCars #WhatWouldYouBuy #CarShopping - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Best car under 25k: Maserati Grand Turismo or Aston Martin Vantage
My Mechanic: :) :) :) :) :) $$$$$
You'd need another 25k just to keep half of these cars running for a year.
Exactly...just because you can afford to buy the car for $25k does not mean you can afford to drive the car for the foreseeable future...
eh there wasn't THAT many exotics in this video
Donald Duck005 Doesn’t necessarily have to be exotic...for example, personally I couldn’t afford to daily an E46 M3 (although I admit I drive a lot, 25k+ miles/yr).
Not if you do most of the work yourself
Not the ISF 😅
Love to see “a car from the year you were born” with a budget equal to your age in thousands of dollars”
this would be a fun challenge
1995 and 25,000
C4 Corvette ZR1 or a Subaru of the time because rally car
1963. $56k. Porsche 356. A Super 90 if I could find one at that price. The great thing is that I have one! Bought a 1963 Super 90 years ago as a "car in a box" for $3,500. The amazing thing is the owner also had a 1963 B "normal" that he threw in for an extra $1,000. I still have it too!
2003’s car, im 17 so $17k budget, either a holden commodore ss, ls platform and would still have money left over for mods, or a xr6 falcon, id get a dirt cheap n/a for like $1k and with that remaining 16k you could put some serious money into that barra and get some amazing performance figures, big turbo, cam, rods, fuel, even exhaust
Marcus Viney I like it
The best part of this video:
"The next Car Trek" - Ed Bolian
😁
Superb. Can't wait.
Oh my god so excited
kjparlay im so ready
when its still not out 3 months later
I'm surprised Damon didn't say "I would buy a Huracan and then park it in a barn and pretend I paid $25k for it."
Is that what happened with the Ferrari???
The guy is such a douche.
Maybe Ed could get one for 25k after some shrewd negotiation.
Damon makes me want to gag. You can almost smell the fake on him
@@GarrettsGear yea idk why ppl in the car community like him
Would be interesting to do a follow up video of how much the $25k cars are going for now with the crazy market we had, even if it is starting to cool a little.
No it never cooled off
I thought randy is gonna recommend 25 volvos
i was pleasantly surprised it was 4 cyl turbo camaro. most people here would say v8 or nothing HA!
i genuinely think that's the way, maybe not volvos, but if you'd buy like 25 more or less of cars like bmw e36, e46 etc. you'd get a BANK off of them. they're currently being bullied by drift tax and it's pretty funny to see, especially given that it really isn't a good car, it's just that people buy it because " it's cheap " soon won't be lol
@@befer you want me to go bankrupt who is gonna pay for insurance 😂😂
@@axel3895 oh i totally forgot about that LOL 12,5 BMW's it is!
Made in China since 2014
Love how Randy got the first long spot.
#1 he’s a legend
#2 he’s the man
I was surprised that he chose the turbo Camaro.
@@johnsimun6533 same. I think a C5 Z06 would be an awesome choice. I have a C6Z but you can’t find them as much for 25k. Maybe in yellow lol
@@gary_michael_flanagan_wildlife I don’t like black cars and have never had one, because of how difficult they are to maintain. I have heard people talk about spending all day detailing the outside of their black car, and with it in the garage. Then the next day opening the door to admire how deep the shine is, only to be hit with the dust and particles all over it. But you know about ceramic coatings. Look at Ed’s review on his Porsche. He purposely tried to get it dirty, and nothing stuck. As for a color The General usually has that certain blue. If it’s the certain one, it will show the curves off pretty good. Anyways, remember the twin turbo setup that was on Gears? That would boost the Vette to the next level. Cheap fast and quick, with a low slung body to match.
I'd buy a 1000 dollar car and put 24000 dollars of upgrades in it
And sell it for $1500
Luke Marion and I’ll buy it for $1000 cuz it won’t start.😂😂
You can always part it out 😂
That’s hustler move
Stonks
This man knows what's up
These videos absolutely RUIN my productivity for the day. So many rabbit holes!
Same. Super easy way to without even realizing "lose" several hours digging through the cars discussed in here, and even expanding when you're like "Wait, What about this or that which competed against one of the cars mentioned here? What do those go for now?" Like the C63 or RS5 for example which nobody mentioned.
Can you make a requirement to be mildly reliable or actually affordable to own? Everybody’s listing exotics like they’re our heroes!!
For real-why have a 25k budget when most the cars listed here are going to require that much again to keep running? If I had the ability to do that, I'd just spend 50k then instead of buying a used Maserati.
The E92 and E46 M3s stand their ground pretty well. I own '12 E92 M3 zcp, I redlined daily, and still on stock-off-the-dealership parts. Car is still running hella strong. My personal mechanic tells me how he prefers the E46 M3 and how bullet proof those mofos are.
Hovies recommendation was anything that’s in his garage at the minute
So many awesome choices at this price point. Thank you to everyone who contributed.
So...when do you think the next Car Trek can be filmed?
The real question is what can I get for being £8.12 over drawn?
Overdraft fees
Probably a 90s rover product in beige
J R a pack of beers hahahahaha
Not even a bus pass.
Debt collector calls
‘For 25k you can buy a car that was over 200k new’
Got one on about that level of depreciation, but I got a car for €300 that was under €15k new
10:52 I wasn't sure if someone was going to say Miata, but I'm glad someone did.
Nice man😂 idk why not buy the actual miata it’s 100x better
@@joblodders8947 it's basically the same, and I think the Abarth has a better exhaust and some other extras
The guy at 6:00 is totally correct - so many options. By the way, most of these picks aren't long term reliable - without spending a lot overtime.
Spotrts cars in general aren’t known for reliability
That’s been the common theme in all these videos. They pick cars that are bottom of the barrel examples and barely acknowledge the running costs that will come with it. These cars may depreciate badly but the maintenance costs sure don’t.
@@richardkoning1355 the Lexus ISF would probably be one of the most reliable on this list and you can actually find some nice ones around 80k miles for that price range
I love my bimmers but yes reliability is an issue after 80k miles
Considering I bought my 300zx for 5k aud that’s already had most of the hard work done and still leaves plenty to work with
The Cadillac CTS-V was a cool option. That slipped my mind for sure
Joe Ramirez they sell them for that cheap?
I like it, dont think it would be that reliable though.
@@toethlef8994 Not anything worth a damn and not all clapped out.
Not with a manual
Dude that girl was so high at the end... 😂😂😂😂
Had about this budget and spent months agonizing over what to get. I ended up with a C6 corvette. Insane performance for the price, and is extremely reliable.
you still got it? if so, how's she doing? if not, what'd you end up switching to?
THIS GUY HAD THE MONKEY FROM LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!
BROOOOOOOO I CAME HERE TO SAY THATTTTTTT!!!!
I was waiting for the temple guards to roll up on him.
So great hearing all these different opinions. My pick is the C6 corvette. Aftermarket support is huge, so easy to get more power, maintenance is really good, LS is bulletproof, very easy to work on yourself.
C5 Z06 and E92 M3 are hard to beat as far as sports cars in this price range
M-series BMWs absolutely EARNED the moniker "Break-My-Wallet"
I doubt you will be able to find a reliable m3 for under 30 grand especially one with a manual
Um isf?
@@brunosales2311 hey look its someone whos never actually owned a bmw and just listens to the internet
I good friend is a Professional Ferrari mechanic who owned a mid-2000s M3. He sold it within a year, the car was a nightmare of high-dollar maintenance and unreliability. If a Ferrari mechanic can have that opinion, and isn't shy about working on modern, complex drivetrains, I'm satisfied...and I own three BMWs currently. NONE of them M-series machines. I see plenty of them parked around the entrance to my local BMW dealership service area....
Why is no one talking bout the Yeti cooler mod in the S Class. This guy is balling out a control if he can just cut up a nice Yeti like that.😂
Jorge Serna the yeti cooler had lots of tubing, I bet it was a ice tank to keep the engine cool or something like that, but definitely used for some sort of cooling
Ice for drag car, water to air charge cooler.
Yeah, that’s what I figured. But why a Yeti and not anything else not as expensive that could probably perform the same if you’re cutting it up anyway.
@@jorgeserna6439 it wouldnt have as much cooling power
The guy with that exact Benz lives near me a little bit Northwest of Charlotte NC. The reason for the yeti is it keeps the ice for the charge cooler cold as possible for as long as possible. The passenger rear seat is still there cause why not and it's the massaging one. Intakes are in the bottom of the front bumper and the pink lines on the intakes are unicorn duct tape so it has to be like that sometimes 🤙🏼
So what would you pick for a $25k budget?
VINwiki lotus elan
C7! They are NEARLY there! And some higher mileage examples already are.
Cl65 amg
VINwiki high mileage 911 or really nice s2000
Porsche 911
"If I really want that sticky sticky" dam gurl
Thank god for not being the only immature person I the world 😅
“I might be doing a little bit of head work”
She know what she doing 😉 😀 I reckon a last gen Firebird would leave a *lot* of $$$ for mods out of $25k so she's smart too.
I love these hypothetical videos. Please continue the series!
The exact RS4 pictured at 9:11 can be seen in a review here: th-cam.com/video/a1jE9FtBFao/w-d-xo.html
these "what would you buy" videos are awesome!! keep em coming!
2006 Corvette Z06, 505 HP, 0-60 in 3.4 sec, 1/4 mile in 11.4 sec
I gotta chack the prices of those. I like the C5 FRC but a C6 w/ over 500 hp ! Yes please.
c6 z06 doesn't fit. at least from what I have seen.
These are closer to 30k but def not a bad choice
Appreciate the variety in answers this time around
Everyone's trying to find the "coolest car" or nostalgic car. Randy Pobst on the other hand you can tell he just wants a good handling sports car that he can drive the wheels off of
He's the only one who gave a good answer. The question ought to be worded differently. I want to know what you would buy as your one car for $25k, not your 5th car under the assumption of free maintenance.
Ok, Doug wins this one.
Gearhead Daily yeah, he was hilarious in this!
@@CaseyPutsch We need to figure something out to upstage him next time ;)
#bumper2bumper
Just bought a 2014 b8.5 S5 for around 25k with less than 50 miles on the clock. full service history with the second owner bing a certified pre owned. Fast, handles great with the optional sports diff, engine is bullet proof.
I was just trying to figure this out! Thanks for posting this!
Them LEXUS ISF be putting in work on the streets 💯🚀
NEW CAR TREK! Greatest news ever!
With a $25,000 car he said
Freddy repping that VR4 made me happy. Right before he came on, I was thinking that a really nice VR4 with some mod money would be my choice - not the fastest thing out there, not the most reliable, but they're beautiful and comfortable grand touring cars. If I wanted to get really extravagant, I'd go for on of the 95/96 VR4 Spyders.
Love the variety of answers, allows the range to so wide open
7:45 I already knew this hipster was going to reccomend something absurd
Me 😬😬😬 the moment Ed said Car Trek 2 is coming soon. 🔥
I would pick the last S54 engined car, the Z4 M-Coupe. Best chassis BMW made at the time, amazing drivetrain, and it's lighter weight than the M3. It's also appriciating!
No subframe issues either!
My fav vinwiki episode! Thank you
McLaren 720s in a couple months is my pick
Oscar Tejura Or a 570s in a couple of weeks haha
Haha I wouldnt be surprised. Look at the McLaren 12c 😬
Or the Senna next year!!!
I personally would pick a 2015 mustang gt. Or a 2007-2009 gt500.
E92 M3 in manual for sure! You can grab a decent one for around 22k and spend 3k to do rod bearings right away for peace of mind. Easy 😎
Looks like everyone overlooks the 07-09 Jaguar XKR, fantastic styling, growling V8, well adorned
Thanks for letting me add my opinion. I think this was the hardest challenge because so many good cars can be bought for $25,000!
Thanks to the C8, the C7 is already falling close to this $, with some high mileage examples already hitting this amount.
J S I was looking to buy a C6 next year, but C7 is definitely on the radar now
I just bought a c5 in february for 8k honestly couldnt be happier. 350 horsepower!!! Ok it's not perfect and it wasnt a steal of a price but its like $500 under kbb and its doing great and makes me happy. I'm curious how the c5 will depreciate but honestly its not really that much comprable to the c8.
@@hyogomarume8345 get the c6 z06. you will have no regrets whatsoever. i just bought mine 6 months ago. wanna know what i'm considering for my next car? another c6 z06. the cars are just amazing.
Sweet Dreams test drove a exhaust modded base 08 C6 yesterday. I’m sold. lol
@@hyogomarume8345 yeah even the base models are a treat to drive. i picked my z06 up for a little more than base price. @plague_doctor_z06 on insta if you wanna take a look. car was $28k lol
Shawn Cudnik my man with the 300zx. I absolutely love mine and wouldn’t trade it for the world.
These type videos are fantastic.
Love this series
Shut up about the ISF!
I am never going to get one if he keeps telling everyone about it. With 12k on the road- there really isn't enough to go around.
A.J. Wrenn theyre not that great. Very limited aftermarket no tuning available and the e9x M3 sounds and is a better car
@@smgs921 Love the M3 but in terms of reliability the IS-F is the way to go even though it's not as good
Imad S once the rod bearings are fixed the S65 is incredibly reliable. I wouldnt let a $2500 repair bill stop me from owning a masterpiece of an engine personally.
@@carsaregood911 False, E92 M3 is very reliable and can handle more load/pressure than the IS-F. ISF isn't suppose to compete with M3 according to numerous people saying Lexus said this. I doubt that's true because it seems like they tried to compete by just adding high performance parts for a lower amount but couldn't cause they realize they need to dump more money in to put in higher quality parts as an M. Lexus can't compete with the top 3 by using cheap Toyota parts. They have to build higher quality parts that handle more load and stress to compete with the high quality 3 series alone. Look at the RC-F, it now competes with the M4.
Anyways, the e92 m3 is reliable and I know because I own a competition pack M3. Almost 70k miles and it is still on factory original parts. The M3 is just a better buy in almost every way.
I was at exactly that point and I went for a 2012 E550 Coupe. It has the 4,7 liter Bi-Turbo V8 and 408HP Stock. 500hp with a simple tune. This car literally eats anything in this price range alive. My next option would be a 2005 Mercedes E55. Realizable as hell, incredible quality and faster that most modern cars. 600hp are easily possible so that’s my next car probably. And for 25.000 you have like 5k left over for maintenance and mods because extremely clean cars sell for around 20k.
How how the M278 been for you? I am in the market for a 14 e550 at the moment or just go the safe route with a beautiful 2016 Lexus GS350 F-sport with much better reliability but much less power. I dealt with a CLS500 getting the computers soaked sitting under a tree and having leaves clogged the drains and water finding the passenger side fuse boxes.
I’m so excited for the next car trek episode
15:28 big plus for bugeyed imprezas in background! Such underappreciated front end. With that rumble and front bumper lip such a menacing looking car.
Rise and shine it's VinWiki and coffee time!!! Man I can't wait to see that AMG fly!! 😂
These are great episodes and it’s fun to be part of it with so many great TH-camrs! What is your favorite picks here guys?
a jaguar xkr for me. such a beautiful car, with a great engine note
CTSV wagon, Mustang, Viper, Vette.
I would buy a Barracuda myself.
Ed's 997 911 choice
Have to say the V8 Vantage. Got to drive an 08 Roadster and it was tons of fun. Raw driving experience and tons of presence for the money.
I'm glad there's gonna be more car trek!
Yess. I would take a really clean 300zx as well! My favourite.
25k in the US can get you quite a large number of interesting cars. Here in Australia, you'd be lucky to get a really cool and interesting car at that price range. Except JDM cars ofc
Holdens are cool!
SpeedCafeGarage 100 percent , to buy half those cars mentioned u would need double or triple that
We're lucky here in Canada, too, atm. As an example, 996 911s start just above $11k US on autotrader here. And that's for a manual. Can't get a Holden Ute at any price, though :(
Just spent the first 10 minutes of this video wondering why everyone is sleeping on the S2000
skitzhh Nate got it! 25k USD would buy a clean one or a lot of mods
Me too. I heard a BMW roadster and I said "WHAT?!"
Lol they got to it at like 11:30
i needed this
I love this series!!!
RS4 and cts v guys got it right. Id have either of those. However, I'm not one to buy cars with high miles or cars that need immediate work. I'd have an audi S4 or S5 with the 4.2L V8 and of course a 6 speed. Currently drive an '06 wrx and unfortunately it is proving to be super reliable so it will probably be a few years before I can buy my audi.
2012-2013 Audi TTRS, Stickshift only, 2.5 liter turbo 5 cylinder. Can find them for 25k!
The one I went with of course, an E82. 09 BMW 135i, twin turbo, 6 speed manual, rwd. 400whp with a simple tune from your cell phone with a stock bottom end that handles 800hp with proper maintenance.
2015 5.0.....435 hp 400tq daily driver with plenty of power and fun. 2nd choice would be a 2008+ c6 corvette with the ls3.....both the mustang and vette being manuals.
Maserati: *cries in reliability*
Yeah there's a reason you can buy them for 15-20k a few years old when they were originally 80-100k. They are garbage, go buy a Lexus if you want everlasting quality. ISF was probably the best option on this list
BEYOND honored to be featured on VinWiki. So many good choices for $25k. The question is, what would you go with?
First gen Camaro or Chevelle
@@cptnscoob great choice. Nothing like a classic
Your mom & she's a lot cheaper.
'60s full size convertible with all the options.
@@mexicanspec i love a bench seat with a plush ride, especially if you're small town cruisin
So glad someone mentioned an RS4
I love these videos. Clean E46 M3 for me.
The one I already own....Honda S2000
Correct!
I’ve always wanted to drive one of those. I hear they’re amazing
@@brandondannys-menary3678 YES! It's not my daily, but it's my daily.
16:43 "what, bro what are you talking about?"
Next Car Trek! I look forward to it as much as I do to the next Grand Tour Special!
Here’s a huge huge vote for this episode’s theme music. I can’t stand the normal VW theme, but I love this theme. It is loud, raw, and has hints of old modern sounds-exactly the sort of mix that goes with the topics at hand.
Finally one that's reasonable for the average person.
E92 M3
I agree 100% with the last woman’s pic. 98-02 trans Am WS6. There is some undefinable quality about these cars that I just love. I was involved in a wreck that resulted in total vision loss while in one of these vehicles, and I still love them. I am either a true car guy, or an idiot…
This was better than I expected
You should do “what is their dream 3 car garage”
Pls do vintage and classics
Randy is awesome, I'm so lucky to have met him. And I was actually wanting to get one of the Chevy Camaro, but the visibility from it was horrible for a daily. I ended up actually getting an Audi S3.
Love the new intro !!
*Do a challenge of choosing a car from the year you were born. Any car, just has to be your age year!*
11:20 is correct. Miata is the answer for under 10k, but when you can buy an S2000 you buy an S2000
In 2017 I bought a 2013 2SS 1LE camaro with the LS3 V8, 26k miles certified pre owned. 25k. Amazing daily/weekend car for the price!
Slayed it with the Best Corvette comment. Frickin' loved it!
I’d go with an 03-04 cobra, but I might be a little biased
Yes or c5 zo6
I'll take a C4 ZR1 please!
Very cool choice.
5:44 Shawn knows what hes talking about, the 300zx is such an underrated car.
It was futuristic for its time and even now its stunning to look at and can often be found for criminally low numbers.!!
$1000 z32 vert owner here. Manual swap(1k), full suspension (1k), engine work with pulleys, rad, injector swap to tt(1k), still need to do paint but I'm doing that myself so about another 1k. I'm friends with the with the yeti cooler amg, 210hp versus 7something and I still pull on anything that has turns
Great video
S2000 ❤️
E92 all day
"I liked it so much, I even bought the t shirt." God damn I love this man.
You had me at “the next Car Trek”
The car Ed bought is a Bentley Continental gt 2005/2006 mark my words
Or a pre-2006 S65/CL65.
Manual e92 m3 all day!! Perfect all rounder
C6 Z06 higher mi and do full bolt ons... Ed it was a pleasure getting to meet u this morning and look forward to more conversations. Hope u made it home in one piece lol.
Thumbs up to Travis Bell that would buy the buick grand national regal. I still have mine. I never think about getting rid of it. Always brings endless smiles to my face on those beautiful days.
