Christmas musing

[Mossy7]

So.. I have about £25k to spend on a day to day car suitable for a ph'er.. but it must be petrol and have 4 doors.
Suggestions?

5 supercharged mk1 MX-5s for £5k each > two mx-5s..

Maserati Quattroporte

FK2 CTR? https://usedcars.honda.co.uk/en/used-cars/approved...

Can even squeeze in a cheap FK8 with a 25K Budget.

I'm sure you can get a Ghibli 3.0 S in budget too.

Or a Jaguar XJR / XFR?

VXK8?

Lexus ISF ?

Alfa Giulia 2.0 T Super ?

Bentley Arnage ?

A bike,

And put the rest down on a property.

[jas xjr]

Agree with the ISF.
Nice problem to have

Yes, this is the right answer.

What i did when I had to carry people was to get a piece of rope and tie it to a window then pull the house along.

Depending on size requirements could also include on the list:

M140i Shadow Edition
S3 Sportback/S4

Plus the following thirsty ones...
XF 5.0 V8
C63 AMG

This but minus the S3 suggestion. M140i trounces the S3 in my eyes. Only thing the S3 has on the M140i is slightly more practicality (bigger boot + rear leg room).

XFR is a hell of a car for the money. If running costs are at the very bottom of your priority, i'd plump for the Jaaaaaag.

I'd say go for the Lexus if you want the sensible option & you'll get a very good low mileage one for your budget, they're a very accomplished car:

C63 AMG this is where my money went these put a bit a grin on your face on start up:

My brother on the other hand has an E90 M3 which is the better drivers car when you're really pushing on but the Mercedes is the better car more of the time:

Now there are two very good alternatives although they're slightly bigger they're very good drivers cars:

VXR8 GTS
