    If you had a fixed income of $12000 a month

    If you had a fixed income and guaranteed income of $12000 a month,
    what car would you buy?

    A super exotic on like a zonda
    or a Relatively cheap super car like the SL55.

    If I could make that money I would buy something around $50-$60K


    I don't think you can afford a Zonda with that salary, and the SL55 is close to what you'd be making in a year... So why aim at something so expensive?

    ...US$12,000 x 12
    = US$144,000.....
    = US$144,000 x AED 3.67300
    = AED 528,912.00.....

    I hardly believe 500,000 would get you a Zonda
    Actually, I don't really know. If it was that much, probably an MR FQ-400.
    Or wait, I could spend it on something more productive. How about bribing my way into a license?

    Or I could do something else apart from cars...

    Of course, but the payments would be like 3-4K a month (Considering that you are paying over 30 or so years like a friggin house) and then you have to pay for your house, kids, other cars, stuff and the insurance of that beast.

    I'd buy a nogaro blue Audi S4, probably a B5, leave it mostly stock. Then I'd take the Golf and strip it down, swap the motor, cut the floor out for a Haldex setup, and make it my weekend toy. I'll need a truck to pull it to the track. So maybe a used Yukon or something.

    While $144,000.00 USD a year a nice amount, I'd take half that money and invest it in a business. If you want a car like a Zonda, your chances of getting it are much better if you're a succesfull business owner, not an employee with a fixed income.

    A Skyline GT-R, cover it with NOS stickers and give it the sweetest bodykits! J/K

    I would probably get a Corvette C6, it's a fine looking car, much better than the C5. It looks great in blue.
