Advice needed - replacement for 996TT

[V6 inside]

Hi Guys,
i'm in a bit of a predicament, i've been offered a share in a business which requires me to raise around 60k. So it looks like i'm going to have to flog the X50.

question is, what can i replace the beast with?
I've got two possible avenues:
1 spend up to 10k on anything remotely practical (rules out the westfield i'm afraid!!)

2 sell my other car (Alfa Diesel) and increase my budget to a max 20k - but must be a true four seater.
Plus it must NOT depreciate like mad!!

The E46 M3 springs to mind, but i'd be intrested in any alternatives.

cheers,

I'm may be moving this way (not biz but house), my choices are the RS4(B5) from £20k or maybe a Merc AMG C32 from £15k... Both practical, both have good power with option of more As long as you can swallow its no 996TT and the compromise will be feel/handling...

guyert your on the same wavelength as me!!! Cant do the C32, auto boxes and me dont agree!!
The RS4 is definately an option, any idea on the future depreciation of these? I'm just thinking with the new RS4 dropping like a stone.

you`ll regret it mate.....just get a bigger overdraft!!!!

hows the exhaust going by the way??

Overdraft wont help i'm afraid, i need to use the cash somewhere else. Needs must!

Exhaust is lovely, its 'burnt' in and sounds better and better!!

Still miss the bark of my old CSL though.

DesignTek is a tried and tested system, must sound lovely!!

Had you contemplated bank robbery ? you have the ideal get-away car and it could hurt less than letting it go.
