Are you looking for a specific type of car, i.e saloon over hatchback?

I ask as this seems to be RenaultSport Clio kinda money, but they're not to everyone's taste.
 
Well, i've heard <20MPG even on a run, 1L of oil every thousand miles, and horror stories involving engine seals and rotor tips.

That's why they're so cheap, I guess. They need to be looked after really well. It's a lot of car for the money if you get a good one, but it does involve a bit of a gamble, especially at your price point.
 
I think as long as you find one that's been looked after (and you're OCD about oil changes etc yourself) you're ok. It's just like most performance Jap cars, they need a lot of frequent TLC.

*edit* lol Tute, we're obviously thinking along the same lines.
 
It's an odd one as normally if someone came to me and said they were thinking of getting a 3 series for £4K i'd roll my eyes so hard they'd drop out my ears.

But godinman has been there, done it, and worn the t-shirt. So unless you really are desperate for a change, it might just be best to stick to what you know?
 
I'm not desperate for change, but I do kind of want to experience a few different cars, having had the 3 for this much time I'd like to look at a few different options. The RX8 is most definitely a different option!

Saying that, a nice E36 would be a relativity reliable option...hmmm

E46, It's all getting a bit large and wafty now, I've driven my parents 328i E46 and I didn't find it very involving or interesting..
 
Hmmm, there isn't a lot on autotrader that looks interesting...a lot of Z3 2.8's but I'm not a fan of convertibles. Grrr...

Any suggestions of cars to look at?
 
Can i have this account please, my dad is huffing and puffing i live at the address that is atatched to this account never mind him he is sulking.
Where is that Naithan can i have this account please to save me starting another? Rename it Kimi please.

OK you do it for me and send the details.
Anyway where is that Spies son, i was talking to him not you.

Kimi I can't create you an account, you will just have to sign up. Doesn't take too long. Just post in here when you are done so we know who you are!

Lol.



I think she only has eyes for Naithwraith. Must be that mod uniform he wears! Men with power and all that.

LOL at this and the other supra/hair related comments!

I know the set of keys you want, you need to put on some weight:D

:D
 
So, my beautiful E30 320i SE has been condemned, it's insides are all rust and it'd cost a bomb to get it fixed, so I've sorned it and will take some choice goodies off it and send it on the the scrap man. Slightly rubbish as I've had it for around 6 years now! Probably should have taken more care of it:/

This is a spec me post, as in another 6-12 months I'll be getting a replacement and don't want to make a proper spec me thread this early on.

Some requirements are below -

<£4000 (Insurance is seperate of this).
Petrol
No problems with MPG's as I drive a van weekdays.
Quickish (I'd really like 200bhp+)
Sporty, doesn't need 4 doors but I'd prefer a couple of seats in the back..not essential tho.

e38 or e39 - ideally a manual if you can find one - V8.

The only e30 you want now is an M3 (unless you find a tidy iS or 325i)

Oh cack! DP :o

Yes, good idea, a manual E38 V8.

Sometimes I really wonder...

About 5 in the world as far as I'm aware, you know damn well I'm referring to a manual e39.

I really wonder about you too sometimes!

Morning 'Fox! Whats up ? bad night? FFS! :rolleyes:
