For 30k he could have bought an immaculate R34 Skyline for example, a nice Porsche, something that holds its value much better and in the price range where age doesn't matter...their always going to be looked after well. I am a Ford buff and always will be, and would kick myself hard when I go to some other brand, but 30k for the new RS is just too much. Maybe 20k and it would be more than reasonable.
What do you drive anyway Paul?
