Ever get to a point where you just dislike all cars?

[Piepiepie]

Looking for a new car at the moment, and i just hate everything thats open to me. Im looking for something made within the last 5-6 years, saloon or estate with reasonable miles and less than £10k.

I just hate everything. The Octavia has a horrid interior and front end, the A4 is ok but im not a big fan of the front end (same for A6), the 5 series looks too big, the 3 series is common and is used at work anyway, i've had a vectra, i have a mondeo, new mondeo is ugly, dont like any of the japanese or french cars, dont like the passat, insignia etc etc.

The only cars i do like at the moment is either the v50 (but even this is just an average like, not a total love) and the vxr8, and you cant get one of them for less than £16k.

I've had about 9 cars in 7 years, and the car i have now is the first car i've owned for more than 12 months.

I think im destined for getting the bus everywhere

forget the new stuff and buy a classic instead.

[5lab]

if you have boring search criteria, don't be surprised when you can only buy boring cars.

what about a 300c or s-type with a v8?

[twazzock]

In response to the title: no.

As a suggestion for your next car: Alfa 159?

There's your problem.

Either save more money or buy an older car or one with higher miles.

If I look at cars available at £5k I'm spoilt for choice from Lexus V8's to imprezas, EVOs and M3's.

[HertsBiker]

get a bike.

[Cyder]

Yep, work with the bd things all day long in digital or physical form and they annoy the crap out of me!

[fridaypassion]

The only relatively new car that would interest me would be a Lotus Exige or Elise. And we know whats happening there. All new cars are too heavy and crap.

[Wadeski]

flex your criteria and get something like like an Alpina, or an E38 740iL

[Zwoelf]

OK it's 9 years old, but has only 43k miles.

S55 AMG




£9,750

Or 8 years and 53k miles, with 476 ponies.

E55 AMG



£10,995

Blown big cat:

X350 XJR




£9,995

8 years and 72k miles for a 400bhp V8 manual:

E39 M5




£10,500

Nope, I wouldn't be bored in your situation.
