Just looking but i'm as intrested in car's as I am in bikes and seen this on another forum Used MERCEDES E55 BRABUS K8 620bhp for sale - PistonHeads (Ref 1275171) 640BHP 200MPH+ less then 20k So what do you fancy car wise, seen? would love to splash the cash on ?
Keep thinking of chopping the SLK in against a new shape Z4 Just about doable at this price... BMW Z4 23i SDrive 2dr Roadster 2.5 2009
Dave...was going to pm re the SLK. im going to go for a CLK convertible I think, as it has 4 seats.... any probs with SLK, reliability wise and build quality??
I'm looking at getting 1 of these also Dave. I'll only use it for a weekend car though and get myself a small diesel car for running to work ans so on as I'm now clocking up 1000 miles a week with my new job. I also like a nice car to take care of and enjoy.
Thought long and hard at getting an M3 or M5 I would chop the facelift X5 for one.Only thing holding me up is the missus.She loves that X5 cos its big comfy 295bhp and returns 32mpg round town.On a run (with topbox)it does better than a 2010 1.6 focus to the dismay of my brother in law.The new X5 doesn't cut it for me.Not that I need another fast one when the bike does the stress therapy.Mercedes are not my cup of tea but the E55 is simply breath taking.At 20k that is a hell of a car for the money.These things eat tyres 6 sets in a year is what my mate Gary went through, but there again he is proper minted.
No probs whatsoever mate been a great car,would like to get summat a bit newer and a 09 SLK specced up would be well over 20K where as the Beemer is just about affordable.
good price this 1 mate and only 20 miles away (from me that is .......day out for you lol) F Type Ken Beautiful car......go on treat her
Like the advert Ken but have you seen the new one for the Audi ( I think an R 10 ) ? but sounds amazing .
The new R8, yes mate that's why I was afraid she was going to but the Jag, I'd already used the money as a deposit on the Audi...
Cars aren't really my thing but a debadged M3 saloon in grey with black seats would work. Or a Bristol Blenheim. I rarely drive so it's not going to happen. Car or bike to visit my parents in Dorset? Easy choice.
I like me Mercs! Will be getting a C or E63 AMG Estate next I reckon when I get bored with the above, the plate will suit an AMG V8 better too!
If you have not already, get a decent drive of one, poor visibility,and if its on standard run flats, a real bone crunching skippy shite ride. For similar money a Boxster runs rings around it, albeit will be a year or two older.
i got a rs4 avant tucked away in the garage for weekend trips and a toy mainly. for a £15-25k car there great. stonking v8 motor , 4 wheel drive, audi quality and estate practicality and not too in your face looks wise as some sports cars.
When I came out of the company car scheme I did the rounds. Looked at Beemers, Mercs, Audi's, Saab's, VW's, but at the end of the day it was a no brainer, went for a brand new Jag, best choice (touch wood so far) I have ever made
