Need a new car and can't think of anything suitable. Have up to £6.5k to spend and ideally looking for something with 200bhp+, looks good, four wheel drive preferably but RWD is okay, reliable and not too expensive for parts. Not too bothered about age or mileage as long as it's not over 75k and doesn't depreciate too badly. Any ideas?
Well someone's bound to say it, so I'll save them the trouble.
New-ish cars are a waste of money. Spend £500 and get a good reliable old Mondeo :-)

MR2 turbo :)
You'd get a decent late S14a 200SX for less than your budget.

very true! S14a with probably less than 75k miles with change for a few mods :)
Jaguar S-type.
Yup, and scope for much modding too, if it hasn't already been tweaked. :-D
Audi S2
Thats my line, mofo!
Don't think you'll get the improved version for that, so a 528 would be a better car. Easily checked for the few common problem spots too.
was :P
WRX?

In news: snipped-for-privacy@davenoise.co.uk, Dave Plowman (News) decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows
The 528 is better than the 520, granted.
I'd go for the Jag, or an E class Merc (but beware the rust on the ones after the W124)
Yep - a good choice.
A Scooby fits your bill perfectly. Plenty about within budget too.
nice 1993 model down my way, WRX turbo, 78k miles on it, a few nice toys in silver £6200ono
in news: snipped-for-privacy@pipex.net, "Vamp" slurred :
How bloody much?!!
Round here you can get a '99(T) WRX estate with 65k and FSH for just under £6k. '93 import type things are going for just over £3k.
Which means I can actually afford one... No! Bad thoughts. Diesel is nice, Diesel is nice, Dies.....................
exactly what i thought :) guy is asking WAAAYY to much, been advertised for 3 weeks now
Just make sure the gearbox is ok. On the early WRXs they made them from glass.

Is he having a laugh ?
