Get me into a daily V8 for sub-£10k

[Legend83]

Come on peeps, I challenge thee to find me these cars! 300bhp/ton, I'm looking at you...

Fuel aside, needs to be reasonable on parts and servicing....

4 seats preferable.

[mxspyder]

Use the remaining £5 to pay for 6 miles of the drive home!

Yum. Hadn't realised they were getting so cheap. I don't even mind the colour that much (yellow is for convertibles and certain italian exotica, not big saloons / coupes)

[alcovrugbyfan]

10k would get you a nice Jag S Type R, XKR or XJR

Or you could go Yank.

Not a bad idea.

Dont go near a Sub 10K E39 M5

Smaller Supercharger pulley and Remap is good for 400bhp

If 2 seats arn't Important then get the bargains of the momment : The TVR chimeara

Also option of a BMW 740i or 540is ...... depends on what you're in-to.

[wackojacko]

XKR

CLK 430 ?

[alcovrugbyfan]

The possibilities are endless. What sort of motor are you in to?

[Legend83]

Anything that makes a nice noise!

Liking the Monaro and the yank stuff. Not sure on the TVRs for daily use and not sure the German uber-saloons meet the reasonable parts//servicing criteria....

Keep em coming...

Generalisation much.

[roverspeed]

MG ZT260 gotta be worth a look in.

Plus you may have some change to put towards a supercharger??

I can verify these sound awesome with the Xpower exhausts!!!

What ?!

The 'not a bad idea' was for the Monaro.

[alcovrugbyfan]

problem with the Rovers are that insurance will be high due to the fact that they get written off for even the smallest damage because you cant get body panels for them

I was referring to your comment regarding sub-£10,000 e39 M5s.

And your case for the E39 M5 is ?

[alcovrugbyfan]

the Monaro is nice, but only 333bhp? The Jags are 400bhp.

I guess its whether you want the V8 growl, or the supercharger whine? Wish I had a spare 10k knocking around lol!

Let us know what you go for!!

Yeah, from what I've seen you'd be limiting your options significantly by ignoring sub £10K M5s.

Extremely high running costs, Most have been Ragged or have Rather high miles...... if no evidence is found for either 90% bet it will have a shadey history or have suspect miles......

A 120,000 mile, well-maintained example may well be in excellent condition and have great history but at the end of the day it's 120,000 miles so it's unlikely to be worth £10,000, for example.
