$600/month car allowance
 
If your company gave you a $600/month car allowance and their only restrictions were: 4 doors, less than 5 years old, must be bought brand new. What would you buy?

I am looking at the Evo X, and maybe the Caddy CTS-V, anything else you would recomend considering?

Oh yeah, they pay for gas too.

Let me know how you're getting a 60K+ vehicle for 600 month.

If it was expected that I'd be meeting clients and picking them up in it or something of that nature; I'd probably go with the new Acura w/SH-AWD. I'm assuming picking up clients in an Evo would probably seem a bit... awkward.

Or you could look at a BMW 335i, 4 doors, good power, and is comfortable for long drives.

not quite sure if it would be 600 or less but I'd look at the 335ix. AWD, twin turbo, 300/300, retail 42,300.

$32,500 out the door with tax, title, fees, etc at 3.9% for 60 months is $597.07 a month.

Which is it, brand new, or under 5 years old? :confused:


The EvoX, CTS-V, and everything else mentioned here will be more than $600/month.

If it's a company vehicle, and you are a representative of that company, sports cars with a harsh ride are not good choices.

since you're in pittsburg, a 335xi. i don't believe you can find a comparable vehicle for the money that will go through the snow with no problem.

legal-z Apr 28, 2009 04:56 PM

alright, i may take back my last post if you would consider an suv. how about a turbo diesel bimmer x5. looks bad ass to me.
