I remember that from midnight club 3: dub edition on the now ancient PSP.
It was as slow as heck compared to the chav cars and cost ridiculous money but tuning it with these (http://volkswagen.autoparts-usa.com/volkswagen-phaeton-auto-parts/lexani-forged-lt-704-chrome-p-8245834.html) wheels and other parts made it look epic

Thats how much they cost. You can get a newer S4 with the same engine for similar money.

It was a rhetorical question, when you consider what it would have cost new it is ridiculous that you can now buy it for that kind of money.

Ok, seriously, it's not for me, but it is lovely.
Sure it looks like a stretched XR3i, but that's a good thing..

I think its pretty obvious so don`t understand why you would ask a rhetorical question. Depreciation. It has hit some cars harder than others. I don`t see how depreciation is ridiculous, pretty standard stuff really.

That AMG again! We already have two 'fun' cars as well as the commute car, but I am tempted - can't believe what a bargain that is, such a great package for so little!

Outstanding response, thanks everyone.

I still have links to click and review but from what I've seen so far....

The P6 is a great find as is the CL55.

If that P6 wasn't snot green the thread would be over! Even so it's on the list....
