new year a new car :)

[SBN]

So, budget is around 20k-28k. I can't think what to buy but will get a new car in jan. So what are you buying?

My must haves are... Saloon, hatch, but must have 4 doors, be under 3 years old, dont care too much about mpg, petrol or diesel, over 200bhp, good options (sat, leather,) and be good at motorway but fun on the twisties.

Would a GT-R be under budget by then?

4 door conversions are pretty pricey on GTRs

Unlikely to have grown back doors though...

I'll open the bidding with this:

2010 Jaguar XFR for £28k, 500 bhp, RWD, loaded... although the red leather on this particular example may not be to taste.

Low mileage E60 M5 with AUC if you can find one?

Wow... never knew they existed!!! In my opinion looks better than the equivalent Golf version too! Should've chucked a pair of turbos while they are at it too ...

Vauxhall VXR8 ticks all boxes.

Merc CLS 63AMG would be my choice.

Or possibly a C63, they've reached 28k now for an early one.
