as above really... id like a db9 but my max budget is 35k... theres one up at a dealer for 39... too cheeky??
Maseratis look pretty much equally good ( in my eyes anyway) and less thirsty.
Just saying.
Did it have dodgy wipers?I once got 20% of a second hand Maserati.
That's about what you need.
Once you've spent that, will you still have a war chest, in case it needs repairs?
My Strad? £7k bought it for £60k
I bought white as it matches the dishwasher…my primary task in life£7k? Done. It’ll be nice to have a choice of colours
Not much in monetary terms, but I had the strangest experience of car buying just over a year ago.
I hope the 50 pound notes are not still under your bed. This is a common way to launder money. Or pass on counterfeit cash. Hopefully you got lucky.I had the strangest car selling
I advertised a s type jag 4.0
10 am a very African sounding guy calls
Is the jaguar still for sale
Yes
Give me your address and I will come
3 hours later nothing so I call him back
Ahh yes, the jaguar where is it
Warrington
Where is warrington
Between Manchester & Liverpool, where are you
Near the airport
Which airport
London City Airport
**** me , he's not coming
Yes yes I am coming , do not sell it
5 hours later a car pulls up on the drive , 2 Africans in robes get out , while they look at the car, I start talking to the guy driving the car , after a minute it dawns on me he doesn't know them , it's a taxi , from London.
they ask to be taken for a test drive which is less than a mile before they agree to buy it
We go back , he pulls what must've been 30k in £50 notes out , reels off the price of the car , I get the V5 out
What is this
So I explain
Then he says I am exporting the car to Tanzania
Not a clue what to put on the form so he gets on the phone , comes up with an address in Milton Keynes
They get in the car , ask me to set the satnav then mr lead foot boots it off the drive , it went that fast I'm amazed he didn't do a burnout , then 30m down the road he slams the brakes on and reverses back
Do you have insurance for me to drive this vehicle
No
It is of no importance , 2nd time he set off a bit slower
I stood on the end of the drive for 5 minutes with my WTF face on
Checked a few weeks later and it was showing as exported
