After reading about the C63 AMG in readers cars section I was thinking about what I would call super saloons. Something with a big engine, wrapped in a saloon body. I used to own a 156 GTA and loved it.
Off I went to the classifieds to look for said super saloon, but I'm having a mind blank. With a measly budget of £1500ish, what super saloons could you pick up? I'm stuck!

You'd maybe get this for £1750 or so - close enough?

Can't say many of the above are striking me as Super Saloons, more like barges.
C43 ?edit: too pricey, this is the cheapest:

Might just be me, but many of these aren't "Super Saloons". For me it's something the likes of Lotus Carlton/RS6/M5/AMG E55, and can easily accomodate 4 large adults yet be as quick and entertaining as almost anything else on the market when new
Only way into that market for £1500 would be an extremely shabby E34 M5 3.6 I fear
I love S4s, 156 GTAs, etc, but I just don't view them as "Super Saloons"

Agreed, however you aren't going to pick up one of those for 1.5k.g3org3y said:

Agreed, however you aren't going to pick up one of those for 1.5k.I'm not actually looking at getting one, I was just looking to see what you could get in this budget. The answer seems to be very little unless you want a barge.
For me, a super saloon is a normal saloon car that has been fettled. A 156 GTA is a prime example. Lower, stiffer, bigger engine, body kit etc.
