Probably a 5.0 Mustang, but I'm a bit biased.
If I could get a used car I'd probably get a C6 vette and use the leftover money to make it sound godly.

and use the leftover money to make it sound godly.
And tires.

Idk, man. I'm not interested in making a C6 sound tired.
10
you could probably buy two c5's with that much money

Daily? STI. Fun car? Probably a Miata, though I'd need to add a cage to track it.

You can't get an STI OTD for under 35, can you?

Depends on your county for taxes, but Heuberger will sell you a base STI for something like 32k before tax. Looks like all the current ones they have in stock are more like 35k, but they also look like they come with SPT exhaust/short throw and a couple other options.

This is really the best way to buy a wrx or sti in the country. I wish I had done it. Basically, that dealership is a high volume dealership. From what I've heard they're very friendly and willing to work on price. Most times it's cheaper to pay their price, ttl and shipping to your place than it is to buy from a local dealership.

Track car?
A friend of mine is looking into a Proton Jumbuck for Le Mons.

Check the flair and use the excess on mods

https://www.holden.com.au/buildprice/cars/commodore/models Base model 3.0L V6 Commodore can be had for A$37,815, USD 28,578

Also, the Impala will NOT be coming to Australia as it has been deemed that the quality isn't up to par.

I would probably buy a base model BRZ and then add the unequal length headers, and an aggressive tune. I would then upgrade the rubber immediately. I would love to get a vortec supercharger, but I don't think I'd have enough money in my budget to do so.
I would also love a Ford Fiesta ST, and a Ford Mustang GT.

I'd try and talk down a new base Mustang GT with the performance pack. Base with PP has an MSRP of 36K.

A tacoma. Immediately sell it for 1k off purchase price then proceed to craigslist.

2017/2018 Civic Type R, if it ever actually comes to the states.

Honda sold an Si with a body kit and fancy rims for $30000 in 2008. good luck getting a type R for less than 35k in 2017.
6
Damn, you're right. I just remember reading $30,000 before but the rest of the segment is around $35,000.
Alt: Fiesta ST, excess for mods, tires, and trackdays bro.

I was joking actually, just taking a jab at the stupid tax Mugen tax. It'll probably be around $30,000 but remain fwd which worries me.
3
Those Mugens were cool IMO. I can actually see the Type R being $35k realistically at dealers.
It'll be interesting to see how it does in terms of sales if FWD.

If you are talking brand new cars, fun would not be in that pricerange, i could get a VW Polo for about $35k or maybe a mazda 3 but nothing more. (Country: Denmark)

Fa20 wrx.

$35k USD = $45,681 CAD
2017 Golf R, DSG with Technology package. $43,410 invoice. Spend the remainder on a good looking set of wheels.
Perfect daily driver.

Since this is an OTD a 2016 Camaro won't make it, I'd probably go with a bare bones 5.0 and put the rest into the suspension and wheels. An alternative would be a Volt.

E92 335i
1
A Golf GTD. That would be the perfect all-around car for me. It is fun, but still quite cheap to drive in terms of fuel economy.

WRX
1
Probably a Wrangler.

miata 2.0
1
At MSRP, Mustang GT. If I'm allowed to consider reasonable negotiations and such, Camaro SS.

In possibly the most r/cars response of all-time, I'd get either a Miata Club edition with Brembos or a BRZ Limited.
If you're getting a miata wait for 2017... New brz should be arriving next month... :)
Edit: spoke to dealership on Sunday, soft top mx5 2017 comes in feb-april they said...
I didn't ask but I remembered reading somewhere that it came with telescoping steering wheel and redesigned compartments including bigger glove compartment
