If you had 1-crore to spend on buying cars in 2025, how would you spend it? On a single car? Or a combination of 3? An M340i & a Superbike? Or an SUV and a Vintage Car?
GTO recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
I don’t think anyone here stops dreaming about cars, or their next addition to the garage. One of my favourite activities is to browse classified ads in my preferred budget range, and then read up forums on cars that interest me (Team-BHP + Reddit + some international model-specific forums).

Let’s dream….and manifest. My ideal 1-crore rupee garage in 2025:
1st car: 20 lakh rupees spent on a Mahindra Thar Petrol AT Convertible, and another 5-lakh rupees to modify it. No car I have owned till date gives me this combination of fun + character + style + toughness + city friendliness (we take it everywhere) + satisfaction of ownership:
2nd car: 70-lakh rupees on a late model, pre-worshipped W222 Facelift with the 9-speed AT. The S-Class is the best sedan in the world, by the most iconic car manufacturer in the world…and to me, the W222 is the best generation S-Class ever (I love it even more than the W140 or W126, the erstwhile favourites). Would prefer a 6-cylinder or 8-cylinder petrol as my running is low, although I couldn’t refuse an immaculate 6-cylinder diesel example. Then, would spend 5-lakhs on getting nice rims for it (and some other enhancements). Would probably need next year’s budget to customize it to my tastes:

1-crore complete , with an extremely balanced garage. A rugged 4×4 SUV for all the tough stuff, sharing space with the ultimate luxury sedan riding on the ultimate air suspension.
Other very tempting choices to ponder over, if I had to buy a single car for 1-crore = a pre-owned Porsche, a pre-owned Land Rover Defender, a pre-owned M5…there was also a well-maintained W222 S63 AMG on sale recently for the same money.
Here’s what BHPian sharmanova had to say in this matter:
Nice thread idea GTO
Here’s my list:
1st car for cities: S-Presso VXi+ AMT (~8L on-road)Spacious for it’s price, frugal and peppy 1.0L Engine, high ground clearance, seating position and low turning radius makes it the perfect car for cities (can vouch for it as we own one!)
2nd car as a daily driver: Scorpio-N Z8 Diesel AT (~27L on-road)
Would have preferred XUV700 definitely, but it’s getting too long in the tooth now, so Scorpio-N it is. Spacious, Good road-presence, Smooth Diesel AT combination and feature packed.
3rd car for weekend fun: Hands down a BMW! Period.
Maybe 65 Lakhs can get me a pre-owned M340i or a G30 530d!
Meanwhile here’s what BHPian shishir333 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
I wish I had a crore to spend on cars…makes “fun” so much more accessible!
But nonetheless here is the imagination1. Skoda Octavia vRS – assuming its launched @50-55 Lakhs on road + another 5 lakhs for mods – this will be so much fun!
2. Force Gurkha – for those hills and off roads – 20 lakhs
3. Crete ev – a non nonsense fuss free car for the daily commute – 20 lakhs
