My neighbour has just ordered a new Liberty X, talking to him it just is amazing how much great vehicles there are on the market. So got me thinking, you had 50grand to spend on a car tomorrow, what would it be..?
Me? My heart says SSV, but I bet I would go after a Territory Diesel AWD. One of the best SUVs around. |

A Ford Landau, or a manual XB GT sedan or coupe (if you could find a genuine GT for that money anyway).

For one car? I'd try to find a good 7.3L diesel F250 dual cab ute!
Other than that, it'd be a few cars, which ones though hmmmm. |

the temptation to get another sedan is big, but arthritis pain is bigger, i would love a super charged v8 or a 6 turbo, but a diesel terri would be on my list if i had that coin, as it is a terri will be my next limo anyway, probably a 2nd handy though..

There's no way I'd spend that kind of money in one hit. I think I'd split it up and go through a series of used cars, maybe turning them over after a year. I was reading up on the FG XR6 Turbo the other day and that would definitely be on my list - serious performance for the money.

Full rebuild of my XR6 lol... or EL XR8 or ED Fairmont ghia, with a dart block windsor punched out to 400+ cubes. Although, it does say buy...so i'd guess i'ld just be happy with a EL GT or a MK2 GS.....
