E39 M5's not far of this, could also look at a B4 S4, failing that an evo or impreza of similar age will be pretty quick.

It can't be that good, it looks like the owner is ready to drive off a cliff.

So how an owner looks reflects directly on his car. Your in big trouble with this thinking

What about a Scooby that's had all the mods done already?

I know not really going to have the power of a supercharged jag or an M5 but you may be lucky.

Thought you were selling car due to new business, are you upgrading instead

Rs4 bi turbo, civic type r supercharged,etc etc

What do you want? Hatch? Saloon 4dr? Practical? 2 seater? There a few choices out there.

Started this thread while looking through stuff around the 6k mark. Could not find a good alternative really. I dont really want to sell up, but might need to. Was only wondering if id missed something
