Hey guys not been on here for a long time and was previously a Chimera owner. Went from that to a 911 and then to an RS6 but i've always had a nagging urge to own a Cerbera.

Basically my question is can i get a decent car for under £15,000 or am i barking up the wrong tree? Also am i still looking around the £2,500 mark for maintenance per year?

Many thanks guys and all help would be appreciated.

I bought mine for under 10k. Had a bunch of problems with it straight away and its cost me all in all about 200 quid as I have fixed myself. Use it as daily runner too. The money you will save will allow you to buy another car to use as an emergency!

I have got another car but just a little dubious.

Also which one is the safest option 4.0, 4.2 or 4.5?

Do you get the same issues with all of them etc?

Cheers

I think 15k will you pick you up a pretty decent cerb and you are probably bang on with annual running cost budget.

All the engines sit in the same chassis which can be a big issue, the car should be purchased on condition and history rather than its lack of use and general shinyness!
The 4.0l speed six engines will more than likely have had a rebuild if not that could be your first big bill. There is a lot of information on here for you to trawl through but ill save you some time and show you this......

Sorry to hijack your thread but what does the £2500 per years costs include? I'm guessing just consumables, tyres, brakes etc and things that may break.

Sorry if this is a silly question
