Bit of a haggle needed or there's always the older B10. Estates of both cars exist but are rare.

This man speaks sense! Get a healthcheck and make sure DRC has been changed. Otherwise go for it. I drove one, loved it!
Thanks! I keep telling people about cars but no ones listens. There not alot I don't know about performance motors I also know the pitfalls of all RS ownership having had a couple.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 Hemi...IT'S A HEMI!
OK, OK, not a 'real' original 426 Hemi, but it's still a car where the engine actually has a name
In fairness if you want noise outside the car then you'd have to put some louder pipes on as they're pretty quiet as standard. Astonishingly quick off the line with 4wd.

Has to be the SRT-8 though, will hold it's value better. So it's more sensible

Perfect. I love the wheels sooo much!
I doubt that's the S IIRC 535hp and similar torque. The original B5 was as fast as the E60 M5, don't look it though which is why i love it.

sensible running costs - 300C with the big engine.
From personal experience, these tend not to go so well together. Sure, routine maintenance is cheap, but fuel (I'm talking SRT-8 now and am assuming you are too) and tyres are consumed quite alarmingly.The trade-off is worth it though, because these cars can be had for buttons (relatively) and they possess quite formidable performance.

My favourite so far - thanks to all the other ideas, so nice saloons about but I really need an estate. The Alpinas are very appealing for something a bit different in the BMW guise and the B10s are rare... and pricey!
But this is strange...
Looking at the seller:

Not the typical car sale - "Private Treaty Sale on Behalf of a Retained Client."

I have a 2004 E55 AMG, which I keep threatening to sell, because I have run out of space, and need a Ferrari 612 (but thats another story).
However, I just can't bring myself to sell it. The noise it makes is just superb - at full chat it sounds like a WW2 fighter plane. I get about 20mpg (and I drive like I have sat on a wasp) on a longish run, the boot is cavernous, it's amazingly comfortable, and it's alarmingly quick.
It's totally anonymous too - no-one knows what it is unless they spot the AMG touches (grill material, wheels) or the 4 exhausts, but when it lets rip it sounds like its tearing space in two.
An extraordinary car, and totally without equal, size, space and performance considered*
(*I honestly believe it's better than an M5).
If you don't buy one, you'll never know how good they are. Plus, they are as cheap as chips.

Except I've said I'd prefer an estate... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3830290.htm
Now if only they had done an estate version...
