Hi guys,

I've just sold my Aston V8V and I'm looking for my next toy! The Aston cost me £55k and I sold it 8 months later for £52.5k.... Not bad considering I didn't spend a penny on maintenance, tax or fuel (company fuel card).

This time I'm looking to spend around £35k. I've looked at Range Rovers but they seem to have too many reliability problems! Then I realised how cheap the GT's are. I saw one on AutoTrader with 25000 miles on for £32k! Must have cost the previous owner £3 per mile in depreciation only!

I can assume these cars won't get much cheaper, which is good. But how much should someone budget for service and repairs if they do circa 8k miles a year? Are there any good indy's in the Bentley world like Porsche and Aston, where prices are more in line with main dealer BMW costs?

Thanks!
