Looking for a bit of help on what to buy. I've narrowed it down to these 4 -

BMW m6
Bentley continental
Jaguar xkr
Merc CL63

Looking to spend 30k tops. I'm not worried about running costs. These can all be had with around 50,000 on the clock. Please I need help with this!!! I like them all!!!

Based on absolutely no experience or science at all, I would get the Merc.

If running costs are not a worry and you want some exclusivity get a Bentley - the rest are far too common on the roads..

The M6 would be my choice I think.

Do you want to look like:

- A photocopier salesman
- A division two footballer
- Someone who retired 10 years ago
- An accountant

?

The Bentley? Wonderful, but at this stage in its life, some monstrous bills in the near future.

Beemer? Too anodyne, like driving a computer, although that may be your bag.

Merc? I believe todays big V8s have a few expensive issues attatched. Shame, what a monster!

I'd go with Jaaaag all day long.

Are there enough options available to get a new MX5 up to £30k in value? It's just PH wouldn't be PH if it wasn't suggested biggrin

Normally I would agree with this, but the other day I drove past three of them in two roads......... Only one was a convertible mind.

I've seen more Bentley Continentals than all of the remaining three combined.

Jag for me please.

Although if it were my £30k I'd buy an M3.

What about a £5k car and spend £25k over a few years on serious driving exploits?
