jonathanc Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 It largely depends on your priorities for the car mate. If you hold on 2-3 more months 20k is going to get you a whole lot of choices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanc Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 This is true. Personally an RS4 or RS6 would be my choice..!! RS6 is definitely nice if you are also catering for the family. As for RS4... a bit of a hard decision there. The engine is awesome but uses a LOT of oil. The body (in my opinion) is getting very dated and definitely doesn't stand out much...

It's always been understated compared to an M3 etc but I like that. The engine is the main reason for buying really. Didn't realise the oil usage was THAT bad? Mrs H's 2.0 A4 was a little heavy on the oil and at £16 a litre for every 650 miles I suppose it's not ideal. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RS4 is worse ...it's recommended you keep at least 1litre of fully synth in the boot Although the sound the engine produce is just phenomenal!

Is that the sound of oil bubbling out of the exhaust? I just want one, quick and practical. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 And in my opinion it is still overpriced Why? How about this one then. 300 quid cheaper and lower mileage? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3280096.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just never warmed to them as desireables really. I do have a soft spot for a couple of the older models from both, but as a rule I just ignore them.

tkddav3 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 nextdoor neighbor has an rs4, a few months ago the engine said no more and ended its own life, not very high mileage either. doubt its a very common thing though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Neighbour has an M6. Very nice car and well spec'd. Not sure about one under 20K though. I would be sceptical!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 In my opinion M6 is just plain ugly probably suited to WAGS... M5 is where the money is at if you are looking to buy something like the M6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 If you raised the price just £5k you would open up to some seriously good motors. Example: Porsche 911 Turbo, E92 M3, XKR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like cars that make you look rich, without spending a great deal of money.... SL65 or bust! For under £20K? *Goes off to look on PH* H.

pistonbroke Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I would have posted a more tasteful Roush stang instead if there was one under 20k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Just curious as to what's out there in the £10-£20k price range? Top of my list was a TVR Cerbera. but thats now out the window. Also like the E46 M3's..... cheap as chips now around £14-£15k for a decent one. Skyline R34 GTR still too much. Escort cossie? (bit c**p??)... would rather RWD. What else falls into this price brack - must look NICE and must be powerful, infact its gonna take a small miracle for me to consider changing the Supra!! Talk to me [ATTACH=CONFIG]139858[/ATTACH] I moved from Supra TT to E46M3, M3 is easier for me to transport my 2 years old daughter to nursery and back. I would choose a single turbo Supra over the M3 any day but it will do for now I bought mine for 7k so a 15k car would be very low mileage and as new condition.

Jamesy Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Yea im suprised how cheap the e46 m3 is now. Would be practical for my 2 kids and the kinda car i could drive all year if i wanted. Plus id end up with a few grand change in my bank .... But .... It wont be the same as my supra!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus id end up with a few grand change in my bank .... But .... It wont be the same as my supra!!!! Only one thing left to do. Save up for a 6 speed and keep the Supra. Just think how much money you'll have wasted turning it into what it was if you come to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Im going to have to pull something out the bag as i want to buy a house next year and dont think i will have a big enough deposit without selling the supra M3 is something i would consider, just avoid that inspection 2 service!!
