The £1M question, actually the £25K to £30K question...

[gc18981]

Currently own an 08 Civic Type R.

With a budget of £25K - £30K, suggestions for the next purchase (nothing slower).

Trying to move away from the boy racer efforts.

What would you buy?

[kiethton]

E92 M3, either that or a noble!

To narrow it down mileage?

[Dave Hedgehog]

this would be my choice

Flamed? Too right! £30k to to spend on a quick motor and the best you can come up with is A GOLF? Hand your PH membership card back on the way out.

What would you buy?

How many miles do you do per year?
How many seats do you need?
What's the max age/mileage you'd consider?
Anything to avoid? (E.g don't like Jap, Euro, Yank etc?)

[JayTee94]

It would be best to narrow it down:

Luxo Barge:

Lexus LS
Maserati QP

Sport Saloon:

RS4
IS-F
E92 M3
VXR8
E60 M5

Coupe:

Jaguar XK
Maserati Grandsport
Aston Martin V8 Vantage (just?)

American Car:

'new' Chevy Camaro
Ford Mustang GT
Ford F250/F150
Dodge Ram

..plus many more cars I could name.

Depends on a couple of factors though:

Is insurance a problem?
MPG important?
How many miles per year?
Do you want a classic?

sorry i didnt realise the rules for posting

1) must be impractical
2) must use more fuel than the Queen Mary
3) must cost more to maintain than the Queen Mary

The RS6 i linked hits 2 of the 3 requirements

Well fk me, you were actually serious about that?

[Polarbert]

At someone choosing a £30k Golf.


I'd have this in a heart beat. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3479076.htm Or maybe a new 370Z if I wanted something with a warranty.
