That does look very nice indeed. Very clean and looks solid.
I like that a lot, but not for 15 grand.
Probably about the going rate for one that at least looks like it needs nothing?

One of those cars I remember being £1000-£3000 (basically where E46’s sit now) and couldn’t bring myself to part with what’s now being asked for them.

Some cars I get that they have appreciated in value & would. But not these.

Its fair enough feeling some cars are overpriced...but then again may of these prices are never going back down.

Take air cooled Porsche prices. Should a high mileage 964 be a hundred grand? Probably not. Is it going to be a twenty grand car again? No. So if you want to have that classic 911 experience....them's the prices.

I really don’t think that is bad value if it is as clean as it looks. It’s a very desirable car now with some very nice additions, I think it’s a cracking buy and am very tempted

Oh don’t get me wrong, it’s a sweet car & they are fun.

I just sated my appetite, there are good reasons 80’s BMWs are commanding decent money.
Fun, well built, DIY-able, practical.

As regards things like 964’s I remember being advised against one as they were troublesome & would never be worth that much as the G-Series was the last ‘real’ 911.

Oh for a time machine.

Looks a beauty.

Spotted a subtle Alpina B10 3.3 in town earlier, achingly cool. Into the classifieds I go.

I have had my (slightly bigger engined) one for 13 years and after some highs and very bad lows with it, I still now make sure it's in fine fettle...





They are still a lovely modern car to drive when they've been properly sorted.

Bloody lovely, that.

Highly worth the expenditure I’m sure.

I’m ashamed to admit I have been researching the Mercedes V class.

Disabled son has kicked the st out of a Range Rover and now a Tesla, time to bite the bullet and buy the appropriate tool for the job.

Oh well allows me to keep daily driving a GT4 so not all bad.

E61 M5.

I need a large family estate and I’m fed up with depreciation. Won’t do a lot of miles, don’t care about economy.

I’ve had an RS6 (a C6) and although I do quite fancy an E63 there’s something about the M5….

MK1 Audi TT.

They can't stay this cheap for much longer, can they?

The 1.8T 225bhp version won't be quite as nice as the 3.2 but will be simpler to service and run, I imagine.

(Sadly I've no room for one in my life right now.)

I have often wondered if the Mk1 will become a classic. Was a game changing design and an early car in decent nick must surely be a good bet.

People have been tipping them as ones to watch for a very long time. I just wonder if the people who like Audis appreciate old Audis that much.

Individual Steel Grey - it goes slightly violet in a rising or setting sun. I took it to a show last weekend who was convinced I owned a purple E39 Touring as he had seen another, more purple, picture of this same car.

Saw an Ultra Blue RS6 on the road today and was blown away by its presence. It lead to a disappointing AutoTrader search. I need more magic beans.
