Should I chop them all in!?

[sshenton1975]

Hello all,
I have a dilemma - I currently own a gorgeous e39 530d with all the kit - very late 2003 model, a 2000 Cerbera S6 and a Merc SL 500 R129

Question is I am not using the last two very often but I I've them when I do


My question is - I could probably get 20 to 25k for all three. I am tempted to then get one car - poss a 993 Porsche, E60 M5, late XKR old shape ( the 2004/5) facelift prior to new model, CL Amg 55, poss an RS4 or 6

No kids and mileage not really an issue

What would you do?? Any other cars I've missed? Don't suggest a 335d or mx5!!!

Cheers

The 335d has great performance and fantastic economy. Or if you prefer an open-top you could try a MX5.

From those choices I'd go for the 993, you shouldn't loose too much in depreciation either if you look after it.

Nice collection of metal, sir. If you fancy a change, I'd swap your three for two, not one. You can't beat having a daily beater (well, a nice daily) and then something special for the weekend.

How about keeping the E39, and replacing the Cerb and SL with a 996 (coupe or 'vert, depending on preference)?

It really depends what you want from the car. Sounds like you don't now need saloon space so I wouldn't go for the M5...high running costs and there are more rewarding cars to drive. The 993 is great if you have a Porsche itch to scratch...that car is a classic and will never go out of fashion.

25k is just coming onto E92 M3 money...now that is a fantastic allrounder. Space and lots of pace and an engine to savour firing up every morning.

You'll probably say now how you've always intensely hated the M3...

MX5 with the engine out of a 335d, now that's a car

Sell them and buy a Tuscan 2 's'
