Arrow Help shoez Pick His Dream Car

So I'm currently a senior in high school and I've started to hear back from a few of the colleges that I applied to back in early December. Saint Joseph's University and Drexel up in Philadelphia have both offered some great merit scholarships (that could potentially include a full ride) which would save my family a shit ton of money.

I've talked to my dad, and he's said that if I end up taking the scholarships there's a great possibility of me getting a car of my choice this Spring or Summer. I know it's still too early to determine if this is going to come through, but I want you all to help me do some choosing. The price range for said vehicle would be approximately $45,000 - $50,000. A power/luxury combo is my primary interest, but I'm open to ideas

Also inb4 "fuck you," "save ur money," "invest ur money," etc.

What I've come up with:

2007 BMW M6 (Coupe or Fagtop, I'm undecided)


2006 Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG


2006 Mercedes Benz G500


2007 Range Rover Sport

oh wow...

So instead of your dad saving all that money by you getting a scholarship, he is just going to blow it on something that will get trashed during those four years of college?

if it's a dd you need something with at least 4 doors. I'd pick the M6, but it's not the best for a college DD.

Are they paying for maintenance and insurance as well?

The reason I ask is because the CL65 is the only luxury car you listed IMO and the maintenance on a 65 is probably higher than you would expect.
