Ryan, Porker's are THE most reliable sports car going, they are properly well built. 91k - but i bet most of that has been on the mway, 90mph cruising - which it will lap all day long. Go and test drive one.
If it was an everyday car u were buying, then a newer BM might be a better choice. But as a weekend toy, that u will do naff all miles in... Holds its value better than any M will too

yeah looked at all steels, and wouldnt want to spend that, maybe 17-18k
ultimas are nice, but deffo dont want to go over 25k, as its just a toy, and i would be stupid to spend that on something that is beyond my means, when i could better invest the money.

Porkers aren't boring... They are a proper sports car that has been refined over the last 30 yrs and keep getting better and better. I admit, i would much prefer the turbo.
If it was my money, i'd honestly buy an R34 - not sure what depreciation is like though.

did look @ skylines rick and i can get them for pennies as a mate of mine works in the souths largest import car company, its just the thought of something going round.
Or as a friend of a friend has just found out, it being a stolen car
I think i would be spending money on it all the time though, as like cossys there an old car, and much more expensive to maintain and tune apparantly.

steve, im still going to get one, but i want to see what the prices do in september/october when the E90 comes out.
So dont want to but one now and see them plummit 4-5k in a few months (if thats what they do)
Just fancy a car NOW (that wont loose me much money, and i can easily sell on when the prices have done whatever there going to do in a few months

gareth, i've actually thought about buying a Grp A Escort, but a proper tarmac spec one, i.e FFD, 9 Rear, 7.5 front, basically full grp A.
was very tempting, as there is one about 30 mins for sale that i like.

Central Day was the first time I had ever seen the car in the metal and a lot of people on here were talking about the Escort Cosworth that got pulled but many of them didn't know it was ACE. So maybe more people have seen it than they realised.
