HELP: What to go for ???
Discussion
Hello PH Community!
Let me start by saying how happy i am to finally join the forums, after pondering them for years now.
I've been having such difficulty trying to find the right daily for my next car! It needs to be a real eye turner, sound great and be able to carry my wife and two daughters every weekend to football games and boxing events!...Although we are lucky enough to have a gorgeous 3 series that we can always use as the family wagon.
My musts: Under £1,000 a month (HP / PCP / LEASE) - Hopefully able to fit all 4 of us in - Fast - Turn heads - Sound like a god - Used is fine, as long as its different with nice subtle mods - not more than 4 hours away from Blackpool
What i have in mind so far:
- 2016+ RS6: Not too fussy with colours as i'd probably just wrap one. I LOVE these cars, they drive great, they sound unreal and are relatively great all around. I just can't find one i like for less than £1,000 a month
- M4: Must be the competition pack.... (nobody wants a standard one right) - Not driven an M4
- 2016+ Nissan GTR: but this only for the headlights and all of the "errors" Nissan had with prior models were fixed? - Something like that 'Guaczilla 2.0' that youtube guy owns! :O - Not driven a GTR
- F-Type Jag 3 Ltr?? - Can you get a better sounding car?
- RX-7 Veilside Fortune: Now i know i wouldn't get a VS in 4 seats, but that car would be a REAL head turner as hardly anybody would know what it is.... But after having rotary engined vehicles i understand they are easy to maintain but they MUST be maintained.
Absolutely any help is much appreciated, i ideally don't want to be spending loads of money on repairs, servicing etc... So if anyone has any insight into owning any of these vehicles that would be spectacular!
Lots of topics like this on the go just now.
Just my tuppence worth, but I think only the jag would be able to stop being a sports car, and just waft you down the road. The others are quite intense...?
Might not matter to you, but unless it was a 2nd or 3rd car I'd look for something cruisable..
Good luck!

The noise of the Jag does it for me.. Just found out my friends literally just got one 😠
That's the Jag out of the window now!

Just because I was looking at them the other day, Panamera?
Yeah I do like the panameras, I like the idea of a wide body one to be fair. I think out of that and an Rs6 it would be the Audi all day long. Just kinda eager to see what the new one looks like estimated early 2020
Maserati always stand out and catch my eye, something like the Quattroporte 4.7 Sport GT S? Not sure about reliability though.
Lexus IS-F 5.0 V8. Pretty water tight all round and fairly rare.
Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.9 BiTurbo V6 Quadrifrogalicious.
Or go big:
Jeep Grand Cherokee 6.4 HEMI SRT: I've heard one of these with custom pipes and Jesus.... but some parts not the easiest to source apparently.
Range Rover 5.0 V8 Autobiography: bloody pipes made me jump in my seat when one tore past me on the motorway.

I really don't want to spend a week test driving different cars haha.
Why is it so hard to choose!

I'd be spending a good week test driving various options, you don't want to have buyers remorse.I really don't want to spend a week test driving different cars haha.

My two pence worth:

You know I've never even tested any AMG before, I'm just (for some reason) against Mercedes.

Try one you might just like it.
Yeah, I hate feeling like I'm wasting sales peoples time though. Can't stand the feeling of them 'expecting' you to buy straight away.
Really puts me off going and testing cars
They'll only be sat around drinking coffee anyway and who cares what they expect, you're the one who's going to have to live with a very expensive decision so go in with your eyes open.

Love it, might do a vlog on car buying (something I've thought about for a while) but also use clips of test drives to see what car buying is really like.
It might help a few people who get anxious when buying cars.... Hmmmm

I know what you mean, I feel the same so I only go looking when I'm 100% ready to buy something so I can be completely upfront and tell them that I'm going to be testing out a few cars over the next few days in order to make a decision. That way I'm letting them know that I'm definitely buying something and it's just a case of what. Can't stand the feeling of them 'expecting' you to buy straight away.

If they have confidence in the car and the sales package then it shouldn't be a problem to spend some time with you. If not, then I'll go somewhere else - there's plenty of choice. If you feel pressured by them I find the best response is that you need to run it by the wife first before making a final decision. They can't really argue without risking offence, i.e. undermining the wife.
Unless they are not married perhaps, but this gives you an opportunity to draw them a picture of the future and illustrate how HMRC are a drop in the ocean compared to a woman when it comes to financially extracting your income.
