got 5k with the intention of buying a saph, but looked at some and in that price range the chances of a mint one without high miles and FSH are few and far between, so what other cars are there to consider? i can also chop in my st24 as well if i find a car i would be happy to drive to work in etc

 

M3?
Scooby?
S4?
Bora TDi 150?

 

S4,good call.....

Pete....

 

r32 skyline,pulsar gtir

 

My Fiesta and stick the rest in the bank....

 

are you looking for a modifed one or standard?? 2wd or 4x4? There are quite a few nice cars about at the moment selling for very sensible cash

 

i have the same dilemma. Although my maximum is Ł5k.

So far my top 2 choices are:

MR2 Turbo
Evo 3 GSR

Slightly favouring the EVO at the moment.

Didn't think you could get an S4 for this money.

 

gott be 4wd if looking at acossie, loked at a few and looked at 1 today, and so far all have needed a fair bit of work to be honest

gotta have 4 doors i thinks, unless i buy a cheap track car i suppose and spunk the rest on an everyday car, also hoping the RS Turbo will be gone soon, ebay auction ends tomorrow

 

but do you want standard or modded? see a load of superb looking saffs just in the cars for sale on here with huge specs, selling for nothing

looks nice mate

 

dont mind, the one i looked at today was 350ish, so dont mind modded,
that one is nice mate, way ahead of ya

 

end of the day Gra, you know whatever you buy, you will still yearn for a cossie, and nothing else is ever quite the same is it? So you might just as well wait and find a nice car, especially as its show season, and no doubt there will be some stunning cars for sale on the days
Didn't you used to have a black 4x4 saff with white wheels? what happened to that?

 

my old cossie turned out to be a GLX when it left the factory, the first owner even changed the v5 via the dvla from glx to cossie, i had history frm 94 and the car was changed in 91 (was a 1990 car), hence why i need FSH, which alot clain but dont actually have

good point about the show season, may just wait and go nat day and fastford etc

 

shite unfortunatly it is a bit of a minefield, but 2 of my mates bought 4x4 saffs fairly recently for very sensible money with good mods and all the history, so don't give up Always the way when you are car hunting, all the good ones seem to dissapear But its a buyers market at the moment, there seems to be a lot of nice cars not selling, and even Ebay seems to be struggling to shift them.

 

2wd is better

 

without a shadow of a doubt

 

i agree, but kaz wont let me buy a 2wd

 

get her a few lessons driving a powerful rear driver, I think jonathan palmer's place at rockingham does RWD appreciation courses, she will be hooked
