£5k in the classifieds - what would you buy?

[m1spw]

Title pretty much explains it, nice and simple - if you had £5,000 to spend on something in the classifieds what would you get and why?

and 5 quid to spare, enough to fill the tank

Im actually in this position, and have been having a look about for cars in the 4-5k bracket.

For some reason, I keep going back to mint M-N plate middle mile scooby turbos. Got through some insurance quotes too, all below £1200...

Im going to go out now and convince myself why a 1.8 S/T plate mazza mx5 is NOT what I need...

This caught my eye........

I just did a £4500 to £5500 search in the classifieds, and as I say the Porsche jumped out as an interesting buy......

Bloody hell!!! there are loads of interesting and tempting cars of all shapes and sizes!

[twelve_75]

A good selection came up...really stuck for choice.







Gotta keep the options open

[little RZD]

Id seriously go for this...3.5 hemi V8 for £4k...what a beast

[dan c]

if you want something fairly quick ,italian and makes a fantastic noise,what about an alfa 156 v6.and you will have change as well.once you drive one you will no what i mean

[baskey]

or this for when i understeer through a hedge in that!


also...could you get e36s on an h plate - there's a 325 in the classifieds...?? it's plausible but i have never seen one - loads on a j but no Hs...
