Would rather not a sport, but that would do.

Problem being that the pork is borked, again. So best not buy anything until its fixed.

Oh not good, whats the matter?

Not sure. Develops a rattle/graunching noise when hot on the overrun. Seems to be drivetrain/clutch related so just waiting for the box to come off.

Bugger. That seems to be draining the funds somewhat, non?!

You could say that. I have spent about 7.1 pumas on it so far.

I hope I paid too much for my Puma, otherwise that's very serious money.

Anyone looking for a very bork free e39 should look as mine in a weeks time. Will have a years ticket on it and will be up for one and a half bags providing I can find something to replace it.

There's nothing wrong with it, I've just found an opportune moment to replace it.

Who cares? Looks great!

I don't think it does, I also don't think it looks or drives anything like an E34 M5 and avoid buying cars from traders who say st like that.

No, not that much! Imagine a rusty one with two months ticket.

So about 1x E36 M3 then

That's a lot of samoleans for it not to be sweet.

Very nice, I think these just about fit into "Old School Cool" that even your average punter in the street appreciates.

For an extra grand, the Colonel has a 635 with an MOT.

"It looks and drives like an M5"

No it doesn't, it looks and drives like a nice period 535i SE with nasty wheel which need binning SHARPISH

The posturing in this thread really makes me laugh sometimes.

Who gives a st what he says? Treat such 'fluff' just as you would the words of an estate agent.

The fact is, that a dealer with some much pricier metal is willing to put his business name behind a smart modern classic which you can probably drive away for fifteen hundfred quid.

Fifteen hundred quid, you jokers!

Hmm you have a point and other than the wheels it does look nice- cut through the crap to the gold nugget beneath?

I fking love the wheels. You know why? Because they're not those bloody metric nightmares!

[Chrisw666]

I like the wheels, cover them in a bit of brake dust and they'll be ace.

[confused_buyer]

Totally with V8Mate on this one - this is best "smoker barges" let us not forget, not even "best barges".

Some treat buying £1500 smokers like configuring a new lease car on the Audi website.

I look forward to the day when I don't post links to £4k A8s on here and instead I just go out, buy them and then post the pics!

Looks nice, but I'd shoot the Mrs before chopping a W124 for a baby wagon with an Isofix point.

I was looking at Saab 9-5 aero estates but when a saloon came up cheaply I snaffled it up thinking that I'd appreciate the extra refinement.

My wife just called me and informs me that we're now the proud owners of a Jack Russell terrier. His claws will no doubt ruin the leather and I can't see me being allowed to lock the little fker in the boot.

For sale, one Saab 9-5 aero saloon....

(I know I can buy a rear seat cover)

Phil, get the Saab on the Trader and go and buy that Merc!
