I would love a few checks to get stimulated

@@JonnyLee dont you know you can just become a doctor and only after a decade from crippling debt you might be able to purchase a 250k toy.
Bryan D. Yeah. Just go find one. Easy as that. Go find one.
I only need 249 more
I'd buy Bugatti rims.
《Tadas》 id buy tires for my Bugatti
😴
But just one time. LOL
Just the rim? Or the whole wheel?
I mean the rims are literally glued to the tires so good luck with that
Ed, that Murcielago Roadster that Dustion was talking about has your name written on it. GO GET IT
Andrei Blagaila-Lazar the white stick car he was talking about, they still want $250,000 which is a bit high for an 05 stick car
I live 5 minutes away from the dealership that owns that car. They’ve had it for years, it’s definitely about as Ed as it gets.
@@nickhoskinson925 Stick mercies are upwards of 400-500k now what u smokin?
Tom an lp-640 all day not an 05 stick car with bad car fax. What u smoking do your research bud
Yep. Ford GT. You can race it. You can break it. Parts are fairly cheap and the car still goes up in value.
500 crown vics, hell yeah
Cleetus has entered the chat...
I just typed up 90 Vic’s, then went and read the earlier comments. Seems we had the same priorities in life.
2 options: Steve nailed one the Spyker c8 is absolutely gorgeous or an Alfa 8c, and at 250k you could probably find a convertible.
If u are not in Hight of ED u can buy small version 4c :D
My neighbor has a Spyker C8. He rarely drives it but one time I saw it parked on a busy street. It was so painful to hear people guess what it is. Even heard one dude say “it’s a diesel, I can tell.” Anyways, cool car but probably a pain in the ass to own.
The Spyker is a gorgeous car unless the roof is up on it. The roof makes it look like a blobfish with a birth defect.
I didn't think about a 8C, creative choice
The Scuderia with a manual swap is genius.
would def be my choice. or performante.
That company has since been under fire for being sketch :/
Performante, F12 Berlinetta, 991.2 GT3 RS, 997.2 GT3 RS, 430 Scud, 2020 GT500, C6 ZR1, Superformance GT40, Superformance Shelby Daytona Coupe.
Eh, these guys do know their shit. Good choices though, my only thing with the GT3’s really do hold their value and even old ones sell for no less than 150K so a nice one easily passes 250K. And yes this is for 2005 or newer.
10:00 Yeah everyone would recommend a 250k Unimog
Constantin Meyer i can’t tell if he was being sarcastic or not 😂
think he was talking about the 720, and the unimog was the unique recommendation
Bikers tend to love unique off-road vehicles, they have bikes for enjoying the streets! I thought it was a cool recommendation
AlexK You must be fun at parties
@@consti9641 what? you make no sense lol
Are we wrong? What would you buy for $250k?
Get the Murcielago Roadster Dustin was talking about. Get it for 200, put 50 in it and sell it for 350 after having fun for the summer
Porsche GT2RS
I would buy 200 miatas and have a demo durby
I’d buy a 1990 Nissan R32 skyline G-TR,Subaru wrx sti hatch,Mazda RX7 and a Mazda RX8
A $100k garage and a fleet of driver cars!
Depends on where you live, if your in Syria id recommend you'd skip cars entirely and go for a T-72 Tank or a MRAP.
Bruh I live in America and I would still totally buy a tank if I could.
Amazingly diverse set of answers. Really loved this.
Yeah, I expected the Ferrari’s, lambo’s, and mclarens, but I never guessed someone would say a daytona
Smokey nagata's top secret Supra went for about 90k at auction a few years back. 980hp twin turbo V12 supra. Do that and pocket the remainder.
Once again John Ficarra proves he is boss.
Yeah he really nailed here.
@6:35 the man is a legend
Agreed. He focused on an experience that can’t be matched at that price!
He lost me when he lied about and shit talked tanner foust.
@@georgejulien3286 To be fair I have seen other people talk about Tanner Foust and describe the same things John did.
I’m glad someone chose the SLR. It’s my absolute dream car.
Okay Steve's POV definitely wins this one with the spyker he is the man in that car is amazing
Lamborgini drivers are so obsessed with this brand, so much that would love to get a backup lamborghini ! Even if it has been underwater during a flood and available for cheap...
Can’t wait for the 25k one cause I’m looking for the coolest 25k car right now!
The only cool car you can buy for 25k is one you build yourself.
Maybe try a Mercedes Benz gl450 if your into suvs. Can get some at that price around the years 2013-2015
@@zeveno7865 and when something goes wrong?
Matmoo me no. There’s more cars for $25,000 that are cooler than there are for $250k
Used zl1 camaro or used srt8, furious fuscia challenger if you can find one, mopar 11, mopar 12, mopar 13, used trailhawk, lr4
The best car for that price???
12 and a half Miatas...
That’s a bad deal I can get miatas near me for 150 bucks
You could buy like 100 of them used
😂😂😂😂😂
No no no. thats 11 miatas, and one with a LS swap
what miata costs $20k ±
Buy a Skyline GT-r34 for 40k and use the 190k for Us Legalization c:
PoodThe Pie $40k for an R34 GTR? Hahahahaha good luck
Yeah ur looking at at least 100 grand for one of those
@@brettwarren3429 You could find them for that much in Japan
yes, spend 250k on a Nissan
Problem is, it doesn't matter how much money you got, you can't legalize an R34 before the 25 years mark because of what Motorex did with the them in the USA :)
Randy wearing a Tool shirt makes me love him even more.
🤟
720s with a warranty. Demolishes everything in this price bracket.
True, but even with a warranty, do you want your car in the shop more than in your garage?
@@carguy0389 Not really no, I would have a load of cheaper, cool cars for this money. But the best? It's the 720.
@@carguy0389 I have had one since last year. 22k miles . Drove from Vegas to Miami last year. Drove from West Palm to Ohio this year. Only had it in to the dealer once because it reported low steering fluid level.

I was expecting Randy to say a Volvo with 200k worth of mods
Gregory Lindsay I kept waiting for it! This 1 of 1 Volvo prototype... with a jet engine.
Don’t forget that it should be a manual
I love this series idea Ed! It's fun! Thanks for letting me participate!!
“Before McLaren was even a thing...”
I’m speechless.
Well, if you don't count the 90s race cars, and the F1 which was only the fastest production car in the world for like 10 years, and worth millions and millions of dollars...
@@nicholasw.3488 ehh and de 70s Can-Am racecars + 80s F1 racecars....wasn't just the 90s buddy! MP4/4, won 15/16 races of the season so it's statistically the most successful F1 car ever, winning 93.8% of all races it competed in, even though the Mercedes W07 won more races 19/21 so percentage wise it was 90,5%
Ed: here's our budget $250,000
Casey: FORMULA ONE CAR
Casey is my spirit animal :)
I would buy...a multi fuel military truck.and make some modifications....I live in Canada...so snow for half the year....super car dont work..
None of these cars are 250k now, gotta love the market
Thanks for makin this one Ed. I’ve had $250k just burning a hole in my pocket for a while now.
So Manu great choices--I learned of a few I had never considered too. Love the series.
It’s great that someone mentioned the SLR, definitely what id take at the price range.
This is why I like VINWiki, so many opinions that makes life even more interesting. But I’d have to say that Randy Pobst and John Ficarra nailed it for me. It’s not just a car, it’s the overall car experience that makes it priceless.
Scotty Kilmer be like: A lot of toyota celicas !
I have to say I love the diversity of choices in all of these best car you can buy videos.
Awesome video! Love hearing from everyone and glad to see they're doing well and staying safe.
Great to see Randy!
I’d buy a 2016 Dodge Viper ACR Extreme and I’d twin charge it after I built the engine. That should add up to $250,000
There’s no way to get an acr for 250, but I would choose that too
I love where this discussion went.
These are the best new thing on TH-cam. Amazing idea.
I'm surprised I was the only one who went with a high-mileage 458 Speciale.
My favorite other choices were 911R, Ford GT, 720S, 600LT, future Tesla Roadster and manual Scuderia! Many great answers.
Very useful to see the breakdown from Premier FS on the realistic costs at the end as well.
That’s pretty cool that Rabbit knows Stephen Wonderboy Thompson
You guys are awesome for doing this, thanks it's nice to see the team together 😁😁😁
Me: I want doug demuro!
My Mom: we have doug Demuro at home
Doug demuro at home: 8:20
for me it would be 2 cars. a 5th gen viper ACR goes for anywhere from 150-200k, plus a 96-97 Viper GTS inthe classic blue with white stripes, which you can get for anywhere from 50-80k depending on milage and condition. some shrewd negotiation and you can get a stack of tires for the ACR for when you burn through them at the track
Alfaholics GTA-R 300. Usable, beautiful and exiting.
I own a 2019 570S Track Pack that's absolutely a joy to drive. 5,600 miles and counting. That being said, I miss the sound of a screaming Ferrari and I just checked prices on the F12's and was shocked to see 2015-16's in the 199K range. That's a badass car you can take on long drives/roadtrips, with a screaming N/A Ferrari V12. Bliss.
Hows the reliability?
@@chubz01 Traded it for a Huracan awhile ago. No issues up to 8,000 miles when I sol dit though.
If I sold my house to buy one of these, I'd still have 50k left for upgrades! Maybe I could get a camper to live in and tow behind it...
You can sleep in a car but you cant race a house
@@mandc20022 Wrong! Look up "the world's fastest shed" here on TH-cam.
Andrew with the shout out!! THANK YOU!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
*When you only have 1 cent in your wallet*
And still watching a video about how to spend 250k on cars
Ford GT (05-06) to me it is just the most beautiful car ever made. Seen many in person and I can stare at back end for hours.
ATL Carguys chose my favorite! But a Ford GT is a great choice.
LOVED THE ADDITION OF THE SPYKER!!!!!
13:44 I'm with Benny. I wouldn't be able to help myself
I’m gonna say the Ford GT recommendations are the best. If you watch Harry’s garage review, it’ll top your list quickly!
Ed, you do often videos where you motivate buying a car with shady past, but how do you sell a car with such a past? I think it's worth a video ;)
Greetings from France
Was totally prepared to jump in here and shout about the spyker, but then someone actually chose it and I've never been happier with one of these videos!
I'm writing this comment without seeing the video. My guess is that Damon said Huracan LP580-2.
While crying about women and children...
@@ashishpatel350 don't make this toxic

@@ashishpatel350 DUDE LOL I LIKE DAMON BUT DAYUMMM
Dude everyone has such good answers
By the time I have 250k to spend I can probably buy myself a low mile NA Miata, tops XD
I would buy a Porche Taycon Turbo. Ever since Demuro reviewed it I have been hooked on it.
4 c8's, 4 different colors?
I'd go with the Superformance GT40 w/ modern tires, the 5 speed, and a more modernized 427ci motor. It won't go up in value like the 05-06 GT, but it would sure be unique and a ton of fun.
I didn’t know Daddy doug had a little brother @8:19
I wasn’t that interested in watching this because the budget seems so out of range. But a couple minutes in I realize I love these videos because of the huge range and variety of machines. It is easy to jump to a super car in this range, but vintage race cars and classic cars too...another awesome video!
Hoovie's answer: a used car dealer's whole inventory!
The Spyker C8 was an excellent answer. Thanks for the video.
damn, I LOVE these videos!
The 1965 Porsche 356 is the one. That nostalgia from playing NFS Porsche Unleashed as a kid.
I'd buy a 1997 Mercedes SL 73 AMG
Very cool choice
Every time Ficarra explains what you should buy I’m immediately reminded of those kids that would do book reviews on Reading Rainbow. “There’s nothing else that will give you that experience while racing...but you don’t have to take my word for it”. 😂
Last time I was this early, I still needed to use my windshield wipers.
Thanks for making this video, my 250k stimulus check just came in and I've had a hard time deciding which car to buy
It’s gonna be a good morning with some VINwiki!!!! I’d usually have my coffee but since Ramadan started today I’ll be without it for a whole month 😂💀
Good fasting my man I'll splurge for you
J Money much appreciated brother 😂😂 stay safe
For me?
GTR nismo and alpha12 kit
Vinwiki time!!!!
What if you would prefer to buy a gt86, r34, a mk4 supra and mabye a bighouse 🤔
250k for a 2005 ford gt? Hmm i don't think so.
Yes that’s what they go for
I'm with Ficarra on this one. He nailed it, best bang for your buck right there.
Now I know we aren't expecting to see Manny or Supercar Blondie involved in this lol but can you get Shmee and Sam from the seen through glass channel involved please Ed?
Manny would probably say SLR lol, it's the only 250k car he knows about😂
@@bryanwhite3021I can't argue with that 😂 the guy has one for every day of the week ffs 😂
Revology Mustang. Built from the ground up. Looks awesome, sound awesome, and drives awesome.
$250,000 ? .............. you buy a bad ass speed boat because you can fit 4 or 5 hot chicks on it.
Ah jeez gramps for the last time, stop calling your nieces hot.
Tony Subman your channel has no content.
Fantastic, thanks Ed - and everyone sharing their choices!
I see ed, i click😎😎
The c8 spiker and the Portofino were awesome choices. But SLR 100%
I’m sad I just found all this recently.. but also happy I have so much to watch in my free time 🤙
Finally we get not 1 but 4 people who aren't boring. Ficarra is the absolute winner of this video with the Group C or GTP suggestion, Casey and Dave are a close second and I'll give Steve a solid 3rd. I personally, would buy a Ligier JSP217, a Dallara P217, or a Ligier P320 with the remaining $60,000 going into a 2015/16 SEAT Leon TCR .
SLS AMG is my choice... with the full wing doors of course
A collection of 90s JDM classics: R34 GTR, Mk4 Supra, FD3S. Got enough change to even maintain them properly.
The guy who choose the Spyker C8 is absolutely right! It has the nicest interior of them all!! The Mercedes SLR and Porsche 911 R are nice honorable mentions..
John Ficarra is my spirit animal...
About a month ago my dream car was on ebay for just under $250k. No one bought it and it is now listed at almost half a million. But that car is arguably THE most iconic movie car of all time. A replica Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters which in this case is a 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor Hearse.
F430 Spyder manual is a way underrated choice. That’s probably what I’d do.
I love the selections offered. My thoughts brought me to a great Aston Martin V12 grand tourer such as low-mile 2011-2012 DBS 6-speed or newer V12 Vantage S 6-speed. There would still be enough left over for an early 70s BMW E9 (3.0 CS or CSi) with a 5-speed upgrade.
