Apologies if I've missed it mentioned already, but have you actually checked that you can get £25k worth of finance?

Sssshhhh, don't spoil his fun.

I'm sure there are no end of seedy loan companies who will be happy to offer him that much finance on 'reasonable' terms
 
Toyota Celica GT?

im curious as to why you would be willing to spend so much money on a new car, but not on an older car then pay the insurance premium.

a boxster could be bought well within your budget and insured, as could an e36 M3.
£15k gets you a nice Focus RS
£15k gets you a bonkers car imported from Japan etc.
£15k gets you a E46 coupe with a decent engine
£15k gets you barnstorming power from a 5 series
£25k gets you not much more for your money considering you will lose out a lot on it.

£25k car + say £4k insurance for first year, £3k for 2nd, £2k for 3rd (presuming you have no fault claims) = £34k of motoring for 3 years.
You already know that you will lose near on £10k over 3 years on the car.
£34k spent, a car worth £12-£15k you will have.

Why not import a skyline R33 GTR (might be able to get a r34?) and add some mods. Should be well within £25k bracket etc.

Because nothing says "I've made it!" more than a brand new car? ;)

Why?

I've done the new car thing and whilst it was nice, I very much doubt I'd ever bother again. I'd much rather be driving a far nicer/higher spec 2 year old car.

Or 4, and pocket one with the profit? Get a small loan to mod it, if you like.

Agreed, although I wait for 3-4 yr old's high spec cars and let some other mug pay for the depreciation.


Have scanned all posts, and wonder why no-one's mentioned an RX7 and a fast second buy? Especially as the OP is considering an RX8. Someone even rebuilt an RX7 engine here, on their first go.
