TTs suck ass, even 225s.

Evo's are the best VFM of what you mentioned, as long as you dont want anything posh or "pretty"

I thought £10k would get you a shonky E39 M5, although I must confess I haven't seen the market lately about what things go for but Evo 6 would probably be my choice or a scooby.

Default 10k

Im the same boat 10k is NOT a good amount to play with :


all m5s at that money are seriously shite

i have only ever seen one focus rs for 10k (it had 85k on clock)

evo 5's are 10 years old and a good 6 will be hard to find at 10

audi tt - you have a nice choice , but they are gay ;(

If you can stretch a couple of grand more, you will have a much much better choice, thats what im gona do i think

You could get a decent evo 6 for £10k. A mate of mine let his go for £9500 with 55k on the clock and it had Stage 1 sort of mods but no remap.

You could get a really nice 2wd sapph and have enough money left over to treat yourself to some goodies for it, or spend it on "yourself" and have a holiday or something...

Is your choice limited to fords just because you rsoc membership is up?

You could have 3 maybe 4 cars for £10,000 to be honest...

A limit needs to be set of what you want from your 10k?

So, are you hoping to find such vehicle in Benidorm or are you coming over to the U.K to find it then take it back as this is going to be a big decider on what you get..

If you are going to try and buy a decent ford over in Benidorm, myself and 99.8% of people on this site are going to have no fucking idea what the state of play is regarding second hand fords over there!

Not meaning to sound harsh, but, a little more information would go a long long long way.
