I've been getting bored looking for a car for the GF as she has no idea what she wants. So instead of looking for her I found myself idly browsing cars and comparing extras, and there are loads.
So, setting a budget of say £3,000 what car can you find with the most toys, (cruise control, air con, TC etc). Styling and age doesn't matter and it can be a car you normally wouldn't touch with a barge-pole.

Shame this one's been sold, but I think any high-end E38 7-Series would be hard to beat!

2005 Pug 607 will have every toy you can think of. Climate, satnav, heated seats all round, leather, electric everything including boot lid, cruise, phone system, double glazing with athermic glass. You just have to budget a lot of funds for repairs every few months. They will NEVER be cheap.

Right, in the space of a few minutes you've already beaten the best one I could find, which was a Passat.

For three grand? Surely they haven't fallen THAT badly?

That's an awful lot of car for the money eek.

There's a few on classifieds, ranging from 100k-150k

Some serious depreciation though.

I'm normally clued up on car prices but I thought these were at around £5k for a high-miler. Is it on A CAT D or something?

My guess at Miles: 137,065 , no wait 137,073. hehe

Serious amount of toys though. Very Impressed
