I won't say obsessing, but I'm looking at 2.5 or 3.0 V6 X-Type's for a winter car.



I never really thought they were worth the money when new, but the prices they fetch now make them seem good VFM.

Am I in for trouble?

A former colleague of mine worked on the project. He said the first ones drove the best...and that the car was subject to a lot of cost downs over time...so if I was buying I'd try to get a lower mileage, older one.

Never seen one before. Fortunately.

I think they are pretty cool. Remember them from that era and they were a rare grey import even then. Like everything from that time, shocked at the price now mind.

[Steamer]

Is that not a contender for the seriously overpriced car thread too? - I get the 'rare' aspect but not the 'Value' aspect.

I'd always have a Kei car over some of the dreadful dross we get here.

657cc and only made for 2yrs, I am massive fan of all JDM goodness which this fits into perfectly.

[Miserablegit]

What is that?
Clamshells- tick
Gullwing doors - tick

What is not to like!

I genuinely think that the Audi RS6 has trounced the V8 AMG Mercs of its era in terms of desirability (and because it is all wheel drive, a trens which people are getting into), and residuals have suffered. 2012 E63s and M5s are available for late twenties, with the RS6 of the same year at £40k.

If you want hooligan, the Mercs especially are bargains, with a lovely interior. The BMW is a lovely thing, too, arguably with better running costs than the RS or the AMG (fewer bespoke parts, I believe?).

That one looks more like the concept Type C, not the volume Type B

I really like that!

I know right? RHD as well as it is an Australia-import. And it's only 20 miles from where I currently am. Alas, my cahonehs aren't big enough... a few years ago when finances were a little bit more robust I wouldn't have been in there without a doubt.
