Smudge Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I reckon you should go for No.5 and buy a Scooter instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Dude - as I said before, get rid of the R32, The A3 and get yourself something japanese for a few years, cheap to buy and shed loads of fun. It might not be german, but it doesnt matter, chances are if you pick carefully it will be very reliable and pretty nippy. Oh and if you are going to say something like "I dont like Japanese because, cheap dash, etc" I'm not listening - talk to the hand, they might be cheap but they rattle less than most german cars and are a darn site more reliable. Nissan 200sx S14a Nissan Pulsar GTiR great fun and great tuning potential. If you dont believe me ask anyoen else thats owned something similar.

BURTON Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I was thinking of a Evo6 or even a Supra! A mate has said go E34 M5 and only one car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Crusoe looked at a M5, but I think decided against it for reasons of running costs. Same would apply to Supra. I would look at something with the smaller turbo engines as they will be less thirsty when just plodding to work and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loddrik Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 If you want something to lower costs, trust me, an Evo 6 is not the way to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURTON Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Evo 6 would be a second car. Same as if i had a Supra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudge Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 What about a CTR?? Reliable, good engine, V nippy & I would guess a heck of a lot cheaper to run than an Evo or Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiPartner Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I reckon you should sell both, and just short term buy a Fiat Coupe Turbo. 16v jobbies are getting knocked out at about £2-3K, the newer 20v's are nearer £4-5K. These are quick cars, and if you get a clean one they're also rather pleasing to the eye! Insurance will set you back mind (Group 20! ). Then save up, and buy an S3!!

shao_khan Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Burton - so you intend to run 2 cars? WHY? thats never cheap, if you want to save money, get one car, if you want to run something fun then do that but 2 cars is just a money pit waiting to form.

BURTON Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I would rather have the Yellow one!! hehe.. Clubsport.. Would love it but then back to square one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURTON Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 CTR or BMW M5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xspencex Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 BMW M5...More likley to find a good one.. CTR Yellow bird would be super expensive to run.. And its old school speed, and as far as reliability is concerned..the risk is huge should something go wrong.. M5 all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 With R32 residuals bound to suffer as hot MKVs start to arrive now would be a very wise time to move. In terms of a PD140, you only have to look at a PD130 to realise this is a wise move. Even a 51 plate commands top money private despite no warranty left and being an old model. If the dealer is keen to do a straight swap, I would tear his arm off. Buy sensibly, spec it carefully, think of resale and residuals. 5dr would be my only choice for example; 3dr limits resale way too much. Don't load it to the hilt with options, just enjoy having monster torque with solid residuals and 50 mpg everytime. Ian C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loddrik Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 [ QUOTE ] M5 all the way! [/ QUOTE ] Rather have an Alpina B10 V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossG Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Seriously tasty bit of kit So much more subtle and apealing than an M5 of the same age. Dubai plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Its classier I agree, but the M5 is the better car in everyway IMO. But i'll bet there are B10's that are newer and worth less than the equivalent aged M5...so it might be a better deal? I had to value a B10 and no BM dealer would give a resonable bid on the car..I cannot remember the details except that none of them were interested because in was not an M5..I coudn't understand why...
