itguy Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 If I was going to buy a secondhand car (and I'll split it into two categories), what has retro-cool appeal? Hot Hatch first... MK1 / 2 Golf GTI Pug 205 GTI 1.9 Renault 5 GT Turbo Mk1 or 2 Large Family Car BMW 540i or M5 E34 shape BMW 635csi LHD BMW E30 M3 BMW E36 M3 (not convertible) Sorry about the BMW bent on the large cars, its a personal desire I'm afraid. Feel free to comment / add your own Quote
Rob Navin Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Retro cool = Mk 1 or Mk 2 Escort End of story Quote
slippy Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Hot hatch: 205 GTI Large family: Audi RS2 Quote
Boomy Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Sporty hatch = Saab turbo/Integrale Large Family = Volvo T5/Audi S2,RS2 Quote

RobC Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I have a pref for the E39 540i (nice v8) cheaper to insure than the M5 or the E36/E30 M3... but then I would say that Quote
steve_m Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 BMW 2002 Tii and a Rover P5B, both sensibly modified to bring them up to date without affecting their period charm Quote
