If you won $1 million, what car would you buy first?
For me in simple enough, probably a newish M3/M4

A few years ago, I would've answered Ferrari (California T or Portofino, depending on how many years ago) but now, at age 75, I consider that I have the perfect car: 2022 BMW M3 with 6-speed manual transmission, full leather, etc. I think it will be my last BMW and my last manual transmission. So, given a million, I'd pay off the smallish loan, and (off-topic) take my wife to Hawaii a few times and maybe a cruise or two. (I also might be tempted to buy the best low-mileage F83 M4 convertible I could find, though.)
Nowadays I scratch my Ferrari itch with a sizeable collection of Ferrari books, all of which have stains on the pages from my drooling. <grin>

$1 million can't buy a lot of things nowadays.
So, I just buy Porsche 911 and other stuffs. |

Winning a million would net me just over 600K, so I'd pay off my tractor and buy a skid steer. But I'd add some accessories to my M6.

I wouldnt buy a car. I would probably put some money into the wagon and buy another motorcycle (probably an adventure or something stupid like a streetfighter). But the wagon is still my girl until I have to get it of it, then probably A Merc E450 wagon or Volvo V60.

I'd take it all and put it into an index fund that tracks the S&P 500. Halo cars are sooooooo over-rated.....

Are we saying the million is going towards car purchases solely? Because first thing I'd do is pay off all bills and be completely debt free...
But for the sake of conversation, if the money is meant for cars, then probably a 458 speciale aperta.
