Tricky-Ricky Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Not really a "whats it worth" thread, however i will ask peoples opinions, as i would like to hear what people here think is realistic. I don't have to sell, so unless i can get a sensible return, it will stay. I am starting to get a bit bored with the Supra, and fancy something different, trouble is i'm not sure what, i do feel like it may be time to go a bit more laid back, if you have seen my Supra you will know its a little in your face, but IMO tasteful to;) however it all a matter of taste. So what are the options? i want laid back, but at the same time i want some grunt, preferably V8 although not discounting other engines, and budget wise i guess around the 5-8K mark, as i don't want to throw to much at another car, like i have the Supra.

mikeyb10supra Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 One option would be to move this out of tech Another option would be an Rs4 although slightly out your budget range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordy07 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Would you get an E39 M5 for that kind of cash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-Brett Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Would you get an E39 M5 for that kind of cash? Yes, but i bet it will need a major BMW service which no doubt will cost shed loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) you could get an AMG Merc for 8K no bother, for example http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/908221.htm Edited March 20, 2009 by tooquicktostop (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul2supra Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 E39 M5, Superb car for the money. - next on my list if I don't get a 6-speed TT And there have been a couple of decent ones up for £8-8.5k recently...admittedly I didn't go and view, but the pics and, more importantly, the history/ownership/sale ad looked good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 you could get an AMG Merc for 8K no bother, for example http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/908221.htm I'd prefer the c32 over one of them: C32 AMG, but i'd take an M5 over both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Aristo? Why does everyone always forget the aristo? Big Comfortable and familiar. Oh and with a single on it will walk all over any of the cars previously mentioned. theres some really nice mk2's for sale over on the aristo forum well within the £8k price bracket as well. Theres a choice of colours at the mo as well, silver, black (which I like the most) and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a choice of colours at the mo as well, silver, black (which I like the most) and white. I actually didn't think of that, but i have had a quick look and can't see anything that immediately appeals, do single Ariosto's go for 8K then?

dangerous brain Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Well when I got a p*ss on at mine I stuck it up for £5k so yeah I guess you can get a single aristo for £5k (the fact that I got next to no response even at £5k shows that it wasn't that unrealistic a price either) but mine is a mk1. Robert also put his up in that price range http://clubaristo.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17420 Jimmytt's I really like (prefer black ones) http://clubaristo.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18485 but anees's is very good VFM http://clubaristo.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16550 £8k probably won't get a MK2 with a single on it though. Alternatives have a looksee at the audi s8 thats what I would be considering as my replacement for the aristo. http://pistonheads.com/sales/945002.htm http://pistonheads.com/sales/917891.htm Edited March 21, 2009 by dangerous brain (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 How about a Lexus IS250 Audi S4 or RS4 BMW 330D or 335, New shape 5 series. some of the cars that I have been thinking of as in the same position as you; hence my signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
