Moving on from the CL biturbo

[sshenton1975]

Hello all

Had a few bits go wrong with the Merc recently so a, considering a change soon. Max 15-20k budget

Shortlist is as follows:
Maserati 3200/4200
E90 M3
E60 M5/M6 (smg worries me)
Late 996 C4S
New shape CL500 amg
New shape XK
Old shape XKR S (love the late 05 last of line)
RS4

Any views, experiences please?

Top 3 for you guys and why would be good. Remember current car is a proper weapon with 500 bhp so need to feel a certain amount of power!

I don't have any first hand experience of any of those cars, but purely on looks Jag XKR-S would be my top choice...

New shape CL AMG, or perhaps an SL of some sort.

New shape CL600, there was a minter on AT a few weeks back for about £18k. Think it was an 07 with 74k, full AMG kit, Silver/black leather.

Would i be disappointed with one of these?

How about a 997.1 C2S should be in budget

Its a good shout Wekshbeef but I think id be looking at quite a miley/tired version for my budget?

How about the lovely SL55 AMG?

Easily in budget and is a thing of beauty - saw one the other day accelerating up J13 slip road what a stunning sound it made. I cannot see you losing too much if any £ on one of these plus Power TICK
