What to get for 45k

[mgbond]

Hi guys, a mate wants a new weekend car as the renovation on his house has finished. He has up to 45k to spend. His options so far are:

997 C4s or C2s
Audi RS4 cab
Aston vantage

What's the reliability like on the Aston?

He doesn't need a car in the week so this is for weekends. Oh yeah, golf clubs must fit :-)

What do you lot think. I think the Audi.

997 C2S, but I am biased lol!

[Isimmo]

There are some stonking cars available for that... If it's a weekend 'fun' car, I'd suggest he'd be better looking at something that will make him feel a bit 'more' special than the opening list... There's some great secondhand junior supercars for that money.

The world is his oyster really.

Has to be modern fit clubs and not a fezzer (although a 355 is an option but it will get driven too much).

Does it need to be a sports car or can it be more of a GT?
My housemate has an SL500 which is pretty fantastic!

[mgbond]

Just needs to be quick and fun, not to hardcore though.

Nice but he had one before and if it's a Porsche then it would have to be a 997.

Hi Martin, mine has been fantastic, the most reliable car I have had (including 'normal' cars). There are some bad ones out there (not many) there is hardly ever a bad post on the PH Aston section about nightmare stories. For £45 that are an absolute steal.

As it is a weekend only car I think GTR or 997. That would be my choice anyway!
