I saw that, amazing isn't it. Who needs a Cerbera/GT3 etc when you can spend 8 grand and be equally as quick...... |

I'm in a similar position, been looking for a car around the £12k mark for a while and I feel the M3 offers the best all round package.

Saab 9-5 Aero???
230bhp or 250 Bhp for a newer higher mileage model Dont they do something like 50 - 70 the same as a porsche 911 turbo? Or was that Top Gear Bull **it |
I've got some figures for the Saab 9-5 Aero but I'm not sure how accurate they are.
Saab 9-5 Aero 2003 250bhp 1630kg 155.84bhp per ton 6.87s (0-60) 17.06s (0-100) 10.19s (60-100) |

M3 Evo ;)
1998 321bhp 1515kg 215.28kg per ton 5.18s(0-60) 12.15s(0-100) 6.97s(60-100) I know it's not all about how quickly a car goes but those are attractive stats for a car with that type of build quality. |

Coupe is a bit different though. Stiffer suspension and stuff. Saab is miles more insurable though. Gotta sell the 944 first!!!! :( |

paul M5 is imo the best all round car ever produced. However, I can afford the car but the best quote for insurance I've had so far has been over £2600 !!!! I'd love on....I really would. 2 or 3 years it should be viable. |
M3 Evo £7500-£15200 (1995-1999) 0-60 in 5.5 | 155mph | 25mpg
Merc C43 AMG £13750-£17000 (1997-2001) 0-60 in 5.9 | 155mph | 21mpg Accord Type R £4800-£16500 (1999-2003) 0-60 in 6.1 | 142mph | 25mpg S4 £10995-£21000 (1998-2001) 0-60 in 5.6 | 155mph | 22mpg All are insurance group 20 apart from Accord which is 18, all similar parts & servicing costs, check VANOS unit on M3 (expensive), and C43 AMG front brake pads & disks cost about £1000 to replace! All have decent equiptment/spec apart from Accord which has less (to save weight no doubt) but leather Recaro bucket seats are apparently very good (an option btw). all info from buyers guide in a previous issue of Used Car Buyer (from earlier this year so prices may be slightly less than above) |
Civic type R.....?
|
senior, im 37, have full no claims protected [i did 10ks worth of damage to a scoob a year ago], i drive an M5 [at the minute] parked on the drive, my insurance [including wife] off LV is £895 per full comp
this M5 of mine is getting more tempting isnt it lololol paul |
S4, with a remap. Shouldn't leak oil, won't have lag and you won't need to get your hands dirty ;)
|
What about the Audi S6. It has the same engine as the S8, and also the RS6 minus the 2 turbo's. If I recall 0-60 in about 5.5 secs, and it has the advantage of having 4wd. I think the M3 is the looker of the 2. But just thought you should go for something a little more stealth.http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/images/icons/icon6.gif
