I know people that have spent £10k on a watch or £15k on a painting and in my opinion that is mad, but if they get pleasure out of it so be it, each to their own.

Sorry may have miss understood your window licker comment, up here its a nasty comment against the mentally ill and have had that comments thrown at people I know who are ill so probably a bit touchy about that.

Christ no, it wasnt meant that way at all!
I meant as in people so obsessed with keeping their cars clean that they would lick the windows to make sure they were clean.
Wasnt a reference to the mentally ill or anything like that!

makes no sense as an investment money wise - but you will get shit loads of enjoyment out of both! even if they are in a garage most of the year!
im bias as i want a 500 in the not so distant future! just the thought driving down the road - hearing that T4 spool up and spool up then kick you in the back! looking down and seeing the plaque telling you that your in a RS500!! you know it makes sense!
oh ................. and RWD over 4WD anyday!

As an Escos owner I would say 500 definately ,and dont worry about making other people happy,look at Fraz he is clearly very happy with his minter and so would I be ,if I was in a financial situation similair to yours I would do the same thing mate

Well ,,,,,, I bought a RS 500 about 3 months ago as an investment only idea ,, and i have turned down 3k clear proffit on it, so this shows that my idea of an investment has worked for me 
I must admit tho i did buy mine at a good price ,, I think this is the key if you want it as an investment .
Also i arnt realy bothered if it only ever returns me what i paid for it as i just love looking at it , its also a great talking point when people come to my workshop ,,,all i ever here is (is that an RS 500 under that sheet )Can i have a look at it
Its true that you never really apreciate ( spelling ) what a RS 500 is until you have owned one and see peoples reaction to one when the see one
I also have a stunning escoss in another corner of the workshop that i never use much , but when i do i love to drive it , but i think the 500 is the one that will always hold its money
ps, For all that think its stupid to own these cars and not use them much I would rather own them and not use them than just not own them at all

THANKS for all input 
the topping answer to all of this is that IF I get one for a good price(and by what I've heard so far their out there ) the least I can do is get my money back 
and for ME to buy an EVO for 20 plus £££ and then to lose loads of £££££££ in the NOT too far distance . 500 I think will do for me.
Fraz your car looks the dogs dangles m8
Paul thats something that I remember when I was growing up as a kid

I paid £17k for a concours 22k miles RS500 last year and already valued at 23 grand,
