Fast Cars- £3000 or Less

[Benengo]

There's an old phrase that goes something like: "Fast/Reliable/Cheap.... pick any 2".

In my case i'm after some Fast/Cheap options.... (but all the better if you can suggest something that bags all 3!). Totally flexible on all other factors, other than it must have more than 2 wheels!

Impreza.

Reliable-ish. Cheap -yes. Fast - dependant on your definition, but yes.

Any x-type or s-type r's available for OP budget?

Plenty of warm hatches to be had for that money.

Won't get a S-Type R for that money, however plenty of N/A 4.2s S-Types to choose from and some high mileage X350 XJs.
Should be able to find a X308 XJR within budget too.

[fivepointnine]

Leon Cupra R
182
197 (barely in budget for a higher mileage one)
WRX
TT225
Might be able to find a Merc 500
330CI

Here are some links to some Saabs. Fast (enough), cheap (very) and reliable (as long as you choose wisely).

(I have no link to the cars below, do not guarantee they will be any good blah blah...)

With the searches on here and ATrader you can specify price and speed - always throws up some interesting options.

Didn't realise the S6 was as old is this shape. Not sure about easily though, a quick look on autotrader has the cheapest at £3k on 200k miles and only 3 examples starting £3XXX then you're above £5k.
