The standard reply is that if you can afford to run a car like this then you can afford to spend more on a car. So you should ever only really buy a car like this if your an enthusiast.
Or the more blunt version... you can't afford to run one.
Following on from this a good alternative usually is a Mondeo.

Lol at the standard motors reply
Would this apply to anybody wanting a proper performance / luxury car for under 10 grand ?

Obviously if you cant afford a 2 year old or newer super saloon you should never ever consider buying an older one as every single one of them will surely bankrupt you
I've gone through a succession of cars recently, a Lexus IS250, Volvo S60 T5 and currently a '03 Lexus GS300, all of which have had there good points (the IS250 being the best) and bad points, but I want to find something special that I'll keep for more than 8-9 months!
What is it you don't find special enough about the '03 GS300? just thinking because f you like the car but want more power just get the twin turbo version.
If you want a XJR X308 then get an XJR X308, dont let these lot put you off and for £5k Im sure with a bit of shopping you could get yourself and nice reliable example.
Not bad for what in its day used to be one of the fastest production cars in the world

Heck I wouldnt even fancy a wager that you could run a Ford Focus for 5 years with that little going wrong! Though some of your numbers are bit misleading, 14 quid for a bush, fit itself for free did it, and you've neglected to mention the fact it does teen mpg around town etc
Not even close. Perhaps true if you limited it to 4 door saloons, but it wasn't ever one of the fastest production cars in the world!
