Which Car - Again LOL

Leading on from my which diesel car i have been crunching numbers and have come up with a few ideas so wanted to get peoples opinions.

 

We have recently moved so i didnt really want to get into anymore debt but just found out its likely that due to the house market in our area still trying to catch up on the prices its likely that even though ive only been here 6 months it looks like ive made around 40-50k on the house so i'm thinking of releasing some of the money.

 

I get an allowance from my company which would cover any loan so as its stands my options are:

 

Sell/trade my diesel laguna and buy something else diesel but a really nice one like a newish audi or bmw?

 

Keep the laguna as a work horse and get myself a toy ie single supra?

 

Dont be silly and stay out of debt?

 

Looking to get around £20k but spend £5k on the garden and the wife wants to get rid of her 206 gti and get an old skool mini cooper which is worth a similar amount to her car give or take a grand or two so it leaves me with my car which is worth circa £5-6k and around £13k

If it was me I would trade in the laguna and get a 2.2 vectra SRi, the older type (02-03ish) for about 4K (not the best cars but good or 4k, half leather and nippy with stiffer suspension etc), that leaves you with £14- 15k which with a little patiance will get you a nice single turbo supra for the weekends :) thats what my plan is, but I can't do it for a couple years until I get more pay :(
