As above, had an SMG Coupe before which I loved and sold to buy a house. I now have £13k to get a nice one and can't find a single example worth buying - they all seem to be up at dealers for ridiculous money chancing it.

I'm after the following:

Facelift
Not Silver or Carbon Black
Not Grey Leather
Less than 80k
Excellent condition
Pref all the options

Any suggestions on where to look etc? Have alerts set up on PH, AT already

Spoke to Nick and Simon already - great suggestions but they don't have anything suitable at the moment.

Have two cars that I've managed to find.

Car 1 - Silver Grey with Black Leather, all options, 03 plate, 95k and £10,000
Car 2 - Silver Grey with Black Leather, all options, 55 plate, 60k and £14,650 with new brakes and PSS all round

Just wish there was one in the middle, would be exactly what I'm after. Might sell the watch and stretch for the expensive one I think.

The only other thing is when you get up to £14k you're very close to E60 M5s and that glorious V10 (plus V12 running costs)

Are there any other cars worth considering? There don't seem to be any decent AMGs available at that money and Audi S/RS seems to be between the heavy V8 S4/S5 and C5 RS6. Obviously you can go for an Evo X, WRX etc but not a fan of the interiors or image.
