IanG1 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Ian, I'm going to be picky again and say I don't like the looks of the RS5. LOL well at least I tried....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanspoors Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 You did Ian . I'm off to look at a GTR today, see what all the fuss is about. a Stage 4 Lichfield spec - 620bhp. Should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKER Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 GTR all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanspoors Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Haha, well just had a u-turn on the GTR viewing, found the car being mentioned on a forum and it has been crashed and exhaust valve is permanently open. None of that mentioned over the phone, but it was a trader. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deako Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 GTR also has Supercar running costs. Even more so than an Evo. Is take the C63 any day, have you considered leasing a brand new 507 edition instead? Amazing lease deals around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelfMadeTramp Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 How about one of these? http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/maserati/granturismo/granturismo-just-1-owner-and-only-10-000-miles/1898149?isexperiment=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkymart Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 What about a porsche panamera should be able to get one towards the top end of your budget http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/porsche/panamera/porsche-panamera-4-v6--pdk--2010----------------2010/1895256 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanspoors Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Eurgh no, the panamera is such an ugly car. The 997 Turbo on the other hand . The Jaguar F Type V8, is the only other car I think I'd consider now, but they're just too much. Maybe I'll get the c63, then change over to the Jag when they come down in price.

Sparkymart Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 My mates has a C63 and omg what a car and full of some really nice toys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanspoors Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Well I went for the C63 in the end. Picked the car up yesterday and wow, what a car it is. I was rather wary of spending so much on a car, but the cost is almost verified once you get behind the wheel. A total contrast to the Mitsubishi evo it replaces. Thanks for everyone's contributions to the topic. I just wanted to make sure that I hadn't missed another possible car choice out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanspoors Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Stunning. Correct choice on colour and Coupe too. I want one of these so bad!!! Thanks, I'm not so sure on the colour! I've had in 24 hours and washed it twice already! Hopefully I can find some sort of dirt repellant solution to put on it. I've averaged 17mpg so far with a little toe down, which is comparable to the evo I had, maybe even more efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
