Ferrari V8 = Check....Cheap 2nd car = What have you?
Discussion
Hi there,
So what do you all have as your ideal 2nd car? I don't know what to go for? I don't have far to go to work each day (22 mile round trip), all no claims used on the Fez, in my 40's, rarely take passengers, wife has a car, considering cars with zero depreciation, sexy, rare so hold value etc.
So far on a £5k/£10k budget Ive considered
CL55 AMG
CL600 V12
BMW840 Ci
Boxster S
996 GT3 kitted
Early Cayenne
Early RR Vogue
Various kit cars
more money but like the Maserati Quatroporte, Bentley Arnage
So what have you?? :-)

I could be way off the mark here but looking at other things on your list, would an e34 BMW M5 be worth a shout? Ticks some boxes.
Cracking cars, should still just get a decent one on budget and they are only ever going to go up in value from here on in, (imho.) Had 1 for a year a while back and really, really loved it. I know they are a big heavy old bus, but there is something about them.
That said, as mentioned the clio has got to be worth a shout. If i didn't have such a lousy commute i'd like to try the clio.

Hot hatch would work for me but haven't got a clue what to go for thats holding value or sort after, Golf R maybe? Seat Leon Cup car? think I may look out of place in a hot hatch at my age??
Best hot hatch for ages has been the megane, if its about the driving... Trophy models hold value better but personally I'd get the best value car out there.... I'm 45 and have no issues being seen in it, even holds its own in the car park...

I would go for the e39 m5... What an engine, mega....

how about a BMW 6 series

or the newer 6 series is very good value
or a Porsche 968

Some great suggestions guys! Looked at the 968 but interior is a bit to old hat, M5 and 6 series are on the same vain as the 840Ci which I really do like and haven't owned one!!.
The Clio I'm not keen on however I do like the look of the Megane!
Had a 330 3 series coupe years ago, great car so the 330d will be a great alternative
Still don't know what to get, need a spark of inspiration from somewhere 😊😊😊

Turbo Civic Type R is about to hit the road - get one with tinted (heavily) windows and you will have a hoot!!!!
Slightly outside the 5-10k budget!
Honda Integra DC5 - well within budget and can be ragged within an inch of its life and be grateful.
