New daily Hack car - car buffs in here please

[GJUK]

Hi,

 

My 58 plate Mondello is going back soon and I need to replace it, this time with a private car as I want to jump out ot the company car scheme.

 

Have a budget of up to £10k based on keeping the car for 2 years.

 

Age up to 10 years old, any engine size (as I have a company fuel card) but must be reliable. (No Fords lol, I jest).

 

Considering so far:

 

V70 T5 (private cars not ex police)

V70R

Saab Aero 95

MG 260 (the V8 one)

Lexus LS430

Lexus IS250

BMW 330CI (e46)

BMW M5

 

And I've just seen this

Which looks very interesting.

 

Any ideas on similar kinds of cars that I could get? I'm looking for something quick 250 ish bhp +. Something very reliable. Something different. It doesnt need to be an estate, or a coupe. It doesnt need to be good on fuel or small.

 

Meh, not sure.

The VW would be a lot of fun! M5's are always good

[GJUK]

M5 reliable though?

Stay Volks/Audi for reliability, i have a 3.0 V6 TDi Audi A4 as a daily and its mapped to 290BHP and 585Nm torque Still does 40mpg and is amazing to drive. But you want something different, the A4 is common but not these flying machines

E60 535D for me. M5's come with big servicing bills

Think i'd be tempted to go Imprezza

I bought an ST220 a few years ago and the only thing I've had to do was replace the rear vacum pipe, which i done myself, V6 model and uprated to a supposed 233 BHP.... Dont know for sure never had it RR'd

 

It a lot of car for under £10k

 

This one is for sale and the chap who works there is also a member on here.... £7,450.00

 

Lets see how long he takes to read this

That mondello looks good, always fancied a diesel st, or Beemer 330d. Stump pulling torque

[Skimmer]

The V8 Vauxhall 2 door coupe not sure what its called possibly Morano ???? , Clarkson had 1 on top gear and said something like pound for pound it was a great car and cheap too ........about the only Vauxhall id have

[Yeomans22]

i recently bought this,

 

 

only a 320 and its nice bit of kit, so a 330 with 50bhp more than mine must be good,

 

go for the m sport with the leathers as a minimum though
