£7500 Budget, what would you buy?

[GransportFan1]

I am a bit bored so thought i would make a thread with a set amount of realistic money. So for £7500 or less what would you buy?

i would have one of these, dunno why but love 'em after i had a ride in one, handle great and are pretty nipppy.

one of the best hot hatches ever according to Evo magazine and joint best Clio along with the original Williams.

Prefer the Megane R26 Adam......

156 GTA for that money

 

[GransportFan1]

i only like the R26.R as it will be the only Megane that will be sought after, i am going to get a Clio Trophy as my second car i hope and keep it forever in mint condition, maybe collectable like the Williams.

Providing the budget does not include insurance + other costs,
this is not bad for the money...bit of everything, convertible, 3L engine,
electrics, leather...

no doesn't have to include insurance costs.

That is a nice car there Enz, we used to have a 330 CI sport Convertible then sold it for an X3, big mistake.

Yeah, it's not bad at all...miles are ok at 97...and says it even has FSH, should be good for another 100k if it is looked after properly

 

[GransportFan1]

easy, ours was an 02 plate, sold it after 3 years, 18K miles, i bet someone got a bargain.

 

[ENZ525]

18k, that's hardly run in...

 

[GransportFan1]

i know, mum didn't do many miles back then, only really got used on weekends.

 

[Andyk]

That was BMW's prettiest convertable...Very cheap to...

 

[GransportFan1]

best looking and well priced, ours had full leather and nav, 33k sold it for 23k.

 

[conaero]

for that money, Alfa GTV Phase 3, 3.2V6, no contest.

 

[dem maser]

the alfa like matt says or since ive upgraded my town car recently i would say the brabus roadster

 

[Andyk]

for that money, Alfa GTV Phase 3, 3.2V6, no contest.

Silver one for sale on Autotrader with red leather...79k on clock...£4995. Didn't stay around for long at that price. Most 3.2's are 7kish plus.

 

[GransportFan1]

still sticking with the clio.

 

[Paco]

Audi S8 (with nitrous oxide injeeeeeeeeection... for any film fans!)
TVR Chimaera
Jag XKR
Jag XJR
Porsche 968

or....

exactly what I did buy.....

Alfa 159 JTD!!! (snore...)

But I still had change in my pocket ;o)

 

[GransportFan1]

a jag oh god no, not an old xk with the wood trim from your granny's sideboard, dear god.

Not enough money really , but if thats all i had i would go for this as a track day car , http://www.copart.co.uk/c2/homeSear...=e2s1&lotId=8898850&returnPage=SEARCH_RESULTS had my fair share of porkers but this would be good performance value , with the change a nice set of wheels

not a fan of 996 unless it is a gt3, rs or gt2.

but have you ever driven a porker Adam


You 'd have no chance of even buying a cat B breaker GT2 or GT3 for 10K let alone a goer for £7500 , we are talking a limited amount of funds here surely , this way its top value performance for Used mondeo money thats what i thought this thread was all about
