hello all i sold her yesterday, my dream car has gone

any way after owning 12 modified cars since i passed my test in 1999 and to be honest, all this lowered big wheels loudness etc i wanna get out of and im not sure what to get, iv narrowed it down to three cars, in order but what shal i go for? i want comfort quietness a decent economy and some thing new..

joint at the top is a merc clk or ford focus 1.6
then a range rover 2.5 dse

what would your choice be

cheers all

Kam B

richm

goldie

ultimate sleeper
go for merc or a bmw iv had 4 bmws nice cars but u ur always go bac to the cossies im on my 4th 1 now bruv cant beat them

c.h.r.i.s

are you thinking of the new range rover or older ones, ive heard alot of negative things about the older range rovers. things going wrong with them, engine , gearboxes, air suspension... so that may not be a good idea. but i dont know about the new range rovers

James-W

If a range rover is in the price range then you should buy the focus.

Because you will not be able to afford to pay for maintaining the range rover.

shane

yeh ive heard range rovers are hellish on repairs...have a beemer i had 320 smooth and comfortable and bomb proof get a 325 though as they go well,the 320 was a bit sluggish but i was 18 and insurance!

James-W

Shane, they are only hellish to repair when you can't afford to repair them, the you shouldn't have bought it in the first place.

buy a brand new vectra off me - 10995 1.8 exclusive - brilliant car!

or get an 03 plate for around 7k if its a tight budget!

Kam B

if a rangie goes bang what sort of money are we talking about? i.e. suspension, box, engine etc

c.h.r.i.s

im pretty sure someone on here said that an engine was replaced under warrenty cost Ł5k i dont know if that is true though.. dont know about the other parts

c.h.r.i.s

I paid a lot of money for a full new short engine and it was fucking awesome after that.

But it did blow up at 110 on the A1, twas pretty scary.

I take it you want the P38A?

Kam B

well after reading all that, il give it a pass on the range rovers they look so dam good tho, i really wanted one

James-W

Belive me they are properly cool, no other car I have ever drove has got as much respect from other motorists apart from the bentley continental GT but that's something else.

I'm thinking about getting a new shape range rover as I'm really liking the look but the s class is tooo tempting.

thanks for the siggy removal Mr.Manchester

richm

nope, worked with and driven plenty.. lovely to sit in on the drive, horrid to drive.. IMO of course
Do i have respect for them?? none at all

Kam B

bout this, a tad different but very very nice SE spec so climate ac etc etc



good to have a break from modded cars, well 12 of em anyway, but il be back in cosworth ownership! thinking of trading cars but see how it goes

Oranoco

Audi All the class of the BMW badge but without shouting look at me I'm trying too hard

Deffo not Range Rover. I really wanted one until I did some research into them. Wouldn't go near one now

James-W

tbh the ride on a range rover isn't great if it's poorly maintained, but mine was a late model and had nearly everything replaced when i owned it

is a cossie nice to drive in your opinion?
