The offer letter came today.
As a condition of my employment, they are offering me a $780/Month car allowance. Three conditions, 1. Must be a four door, 2. Must be no more than 4 years old. 3. Must be GM, Ford, or Chrysler.
What would you get with it?
Here is the early front runner:

Charger Hellcat.
![]() 03/02/2015 at 18:07 |

Yes. Although I think it looks good in white with black rims. But ATS-V gets my vote.

Can you lease a Hellcat for $780 a month?
Also, do you get to keep the car, or is this a company car you get to pick?

Charger, of course. Failing that, the Challenger, and throw two small doors in the back, so it counts as a four door.
Also, I hate you now and I want your job.

SS Manual or ATS-V.
Depends how many cylinders you want

Does it have to be a car?

Get someone you know who wants a car—any car—with a $780 monthly payment, then buy it in your name with your allowance. Have them pay you $780 a month in cash and buy a Miata every three months. Make sure they let you take the car to work once every few weeks so people don't catch on.
ATS–V is cool too. Damn that is a sick perk.

In Canada, on the website, with no options, it comes to $378 bi weekly, or $768 a month. Probably less in the US.

Ram Ecodiesel in whatever trim suits you. Effecient, can pull a racecar, with 4WD it should be good in snow, and a nice place to be, especially in the higher trim levels.

If you're going to own it, a manual SS might retain value better than any other option...
See G8 GXP.

Focus RS

$780 a month is extremely generous, that gives you the pick of most of the domestic industry. I think Chrysler's doing a loaded 300C Platinum V8 for like $443 a month right now.
![]() 03/02/2015 at 18:35 |

Absolutely not. It has less payload than ANY truck in its class.

![]() 03/02/2015 at 18:40 |

HOLY SHIT, it's worse than the Colorado, Frontier, and Taco. But you can pretend you're a Range Rover owner when the air suspension goes bad! Then I suggest a F-250, because 860 ft. lbs. of torque, so you can pull all the race cars.

Fully Loaded CTS (V-Sport Trim)with the 3.6L Twin Turbo will be about ~750 a month
with every single option
It's not an ATS-V but you get a bigger car, and every single option under the sun on it.
that or Manual SS
![]() 03/02/2015 at 18:49 |

Lease or Own. Not the companies.
![]() 03/02/2015 at 18:50 |

That would be the classiest thing on the block for sure, and super sleeper if you can find an SRT-8 300.

Congrats dude! $780/month is a hell of a car payment. My parents only pay slightly more than that for BOTH of their cars. Can't wait to see what you end up with! :)
![]() 03/02/2015 at 18:55 |

Its $807 per month with no down payment in the US for a 48 month lease with 10,000 miles a year. Throw $1200 down payment and it gets you at $780 a month for 12,000 miles a year for 4 years.

It will probably be something horribly boring.
![]() 03/02/2015 at 18:58 |

Are they paying for gas and insurance as well? If so, are they going to deduct those amounts from the $780/mo.?

He could probably lease 2 Miata's for that price and meet the "4 door" condition.
![]() 03/02/2015 at 19:01 |

Then Hellcat.

Doesn't have to be.
![]() 03/02/2015 at 19:07 |

If it were me, I guess I'd end up at GM. Either a used CTS-V, a new ATS-V or a Chevy SS.
I'm not much of truck guy though, and I'm guessing you can't wait around till next year and get a Focus RS.
![]() 03/02/2015 at 19:07 |

I presume the job involves lots of driving and needs to be comfortable. And if you want to stay within that $780/month allowance (including operating costs), it means it shouldn't cost more than $400/month.
So an ATS with the 2L turbo, not the V-model you have pictured, would probably be a good choice.
Or if you want more space and comfort, a Buick Regal Turbo or an Ford Fusion with the Ecoboost could be a nice option.
Of course if you don't care about kicking in some of your own money, sure, get that V-Caddy... or even a SRT or Hellcat Charger.
Are you looking for something with a manual or automatic?
![]() 03/02/2015 at 19:22 |

Unless you have a repair allowance too, F250 Lariat or King Ranch Diesel.

I see no reason not to choose the ATS-V, so long as you get it just like this!
Blue Caddy is best Caddy.

You can probably get a lot of Charger for that payment.

Yeah, you got that right. I guess there's no need for me to be glum—I've got an awesome girlfriend and a job offer at a company I really enjoy working for (although not compensated nearly as well haha), which is a hell of a lot more than a lot of people my age can say.
Anyways, congratulations again. If you ever see a gray 7th gen Civic in SE Michigan with a Oklahoma Sooner license plate frame, feel free to drag race me in your Hellcat/V/SS/Ecobost

NEW ATS-V or Chevy SS with mag ride and a stick. Get a stick in either.

I think you can lease a Charger SRT 392, I'm not sure. It's like a Hellcat, except Dodge claims it has 485 horsepower and I claim that the thing's probably got 500.

Damn dude, congrats! That's one hell of an allowance. A few ideas that I'd have tough time deciding on:
-The ATS-V you mentioned (if you can wait).
-A Charger Hellcat. If that's not necessary, then maybe just a 5.7 Hemi Charger.
-A Manual SS.
-Possibly a truck, depending on your brand preferences.

Does it need to be a car? The Explorer Sport is pretty awesome, AWD, would make a good winter vehicle. I used to work at a relatively famous Ford dealership, and one of the owners had one that made something like 450hp with a computer tune and exhaust.

C-class or 3-series, then you would still have enough money left over for another car for the SO. Both are good looking, nice to drive, very professional, and can be had in base "slow" trim or super fast awesome trim or somewhere in the middle.
