Mate of mine picked up a Bentley Continental GT today for a touch over £20k, full Bentley service history, done 90k I think that's a steal for the package.

Other options at the same power/spec/quality for the same money?

Ginge

 

Cheap.I just wish i had 20k spare lol.

 

Ok not the same money or league, but along the same lines


1999/2001 BMW 740i & 750i's

£2k gets you something with fsh, and they aren't the type of cars that get messed with!

 

Porsche 911's

 

unless you have a fuel tanker on tap these cars are outta reach in terms of running costs hence their prices, would love a another range rover myself but no way could I afford to run it again

 

20k?! thats mighty impressive

I would say the 7 series too, 750il with tv fridge electric rear seats etc top spec cars for little money

 

Cheap until it breaks! Exactly the reason I won't buy an E60 M5 as a daily. Strangely enough I ended up looking an Mazda 6 MPS's on the net last night, dirt cheap, 2.3 4wd turbo, well specced and highly tuneable for £6k, thats my sorta car, great and doesn't matter if it shits itself.

 

Seen plenty for same same price with 350bhp.

Fuck load of car for the money:

These are getting cheap too, not quite at £20k but becoming cheaper.

I thought about these myself before getting the Lexus. Only reason I didn't was because I didn't wanna spend more than £3k, and wanted something a little more sensible (as in quiet, built well, etc) - but the MPS is a lot of car for the money!

Also, RS4's - 2006/7 saloon (B8 platform), 420bhp Quattro : R8 in a 4 door saloon! Less than £20k now

Under £15k - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...1500?logcode=p

Under £19k - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...87dg?logcode=p

 

That's where I'm in a winner my annual mileage is 5k, that's including commuting, so economy of a car is not something I've ever had to consider when purchasing a car


Hence my next car should be something with a v8 or v12 and auto.

 

id love a aston

 

Do it

 

Would love an e60 m5 or a 996 turbo been really tempted a few times but couldn't afford to fix the fuckers if something serious went wrong they may be cheap now but unfortunately they still carry £60k and £100k running costs.

 

The runnong costs and maintenance costs are similar to the flying spur.. And20k seems cheap but you can get 20k worth of repair in a year : cry:

 

you can get a Jaguar XF - The 4.2L Supercharged SV8 on a 2007 - 2008 reg
for £16 - £17K

LOADS of car for the money!!

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...37rh?logcode=p

 

I fucking love the XF - gorgeous car!

 

He has purchased a couple of flying spurs as well lately, so comfortable and just wafts along without a care in the world.

Ginge

 

£20k not bad considering a new fully loaded fiesta costs £18k

 

big difference between a fiesta and a bentley lol

 

Also,

What about the VW Phaeton, with the SAME W12 engine as the Bentley?

 

Basically the same car as the Audi A8 W12 too, I think

 

C63 AMG's are around the 26k mark now... I'm holding out for a Maserati Grantourismo, down to about £34k now and plummeting fast, roll on next summer!!

 

A new engine for one is 20k also and running cost that will break anyone's bank.

Mark

 

Yeah, and RS500s are 50-60k, go figure. Lol

Awaits the firing squad

 

Not all of them only a few, plus they aren't to be used daily.

I'd love a Range Rover sport which are cheap enough if you have £15k - £20k

 

Ferrari 360m, 2000, manual, 49k, FFSH, SOLD for £29,550

 

Some bargains in this thread, love that ferrari^ Hell of a car for a shade under £30k.

 

For sale at £33900, low milage big turbos 450Bhp model... And thats expensive for a 996 turbo, a tidy one seems to be around 25k... madness really for a 100k super car.

I'm getting seriously tempted

 

I would love an Audi RS4 saloon.

 

I have wet dreams over these!

 

You n me both pal

 

Just remember the older cars cost the higher the prices of parts from the dealers

I'd love a 996 turbo but I would die if it needed work doing

For the pose.
Did I read there were engine issues with these 3.4's?

 

the second one i had went for close to the £40k asking price and only had something like mid 30k on the clock

no idea what the first one went for

and like fuck could i afford to run one of the bastards, £3k for a windscreen, a grand a pop for the lights, it killed me to get a new battery for one @£400 and i had to have a lie down when they said it was going to cost £1700 to fix the key problem

mind you, there are another 2 chaps on my road with gt's but they are minted and the old fella who has an 07 4 door drives it to the petrol station at the weekend to keep the battery topped up and spends the rest of the week catching the bus using his freedom pass

epic epic motoring though, you feel like you are king of the world in one of them and you know that when it comes to the traffic light grand prix, not much will beat you so you don't even bother, and i didn't either when the mpg was maxing out at 6.9 pottering around town

and that's what's going to kill these expensive motors, anyone can buy them, it's the cost of running them that no one considers when they are handing over the folding

 

We delivered one upto aberdeen once, saw 197 on the clocks... felt like 60.

Dojj if you ever get another one i'll put you in touch with him 40 years experience.

What was the key problem?

Ginge

 

20k is little money? You all have too much cash!!!!

 

Fair point GUV!!!

So perhaps http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...ge/2?logcode=p

Could fit the bill?
One breakdown and she's a scrapped though,although at that size you'd probably get 1/2 of the outlay back!!!

 

An Aston or a 996 is my next car, might be about 3 years away, but one of those is for sure my next mobile.

 

Add up what most people spend over the years on a Cosworth
