I dont have to have new, my view on it was im eventually going to be looking at moving out and will have less disposable income when this time comes. Therefore I see it as 'do it while I can' and have the luxury of a car ive owned from new and looked after. Having looked again at new vs nearly new, maybe the latter would be a better idea, but still not convinced. Ive looked at all sorts, the Noble M12, BMW M5, E55 AMG Merc, M3, dont want a porsche of any kind or TT but am still looking at other options. Problem with most of the above is they're a bit big for what I need and want. Need to have a long hard think!
