Europe trip...

[Studio117]

I want a car for a trip to Europe next year.

No alps are involved but a reliable autobahn missile is preferable.

Criteria:

6 cylinder or more
Reliable
Easy to sell on return to the UK.
Under 8k to purchase.

I will only have the car for a few weeks so getting rid and not losing a house deposit in depreciation is important!

One cylinder short, but this would be my choice: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2013...

55-plate Volvo S60R. 300bhp, 155mph. FSH and taxed/MOT'd.

That 645 looks like a glorious way to spend a holiday!

xedos 9 will do the job for buttons. or a Maxima/QX. might have a musty smell,, a few bits might not work properly, but for £500, you don't even have to bring it back!

Go for a classic like that sharknose 6.

Doing it in a classic is more of an event.

Insuring as a second car will be much cheaper.

Depreciation wont be an issue.

No reason they wont be reliable and if something does go wrong itll be much simpler to fix.

Theres a Twinturbo W124 Merc just appeared in the 1-5k thread,that would be pretty special.
