What car would you buy...
« on: 19 May 2006, 10:28 »
Sup :cool:

I cant decide what to buy as a second car. Ive saved a few pennies over the months. Have about 5k to spend on a car.

Im NOT selling the MK2! (thank you for talking me out of this) I was looking at something German 'old-skool' something like a BMW E30 as they remind me of the mk2 golf :smiley:

Not too bothered about petrol cost or too much about insurance. I have something sorted for that.


Has to be german and old skool. Nothing VW this time
Any ideas?

190 Cosworth
BMW 3 series Touring (Its the only E30 I've warmed to, except a genuine LHD M3)
BMW 6 series
Audi Coupe (if possible a quattro...)
Porsche 928 or 944?

Hows about a Trabant, or is that the wrong side of Germany, lol

Just my opinion, but I don't like it...

If you want a Cabriolet, get an Audi 2.6 Cabriolet, my dad has one from '96 which he paid £4800 for and is mint. Looks so much nicer than E30 Cabs, too
