advice and suggestions for a new car

hi guys,as you know my mnr is up for sale as i need a few grand to put into a house. the question is what direction would you go down next? i will have my vectra 2.2 sxi with low miles and in good condition and about £6,000.00.
i am open to suggestions and am wanting to know what you would do if it was your money. i could sell the vectra and buy one decent car £8,500-£9,000 or buy another kit for around £6,000 and keep the vectra. suggestions please!

For 9k, you can get a decent toy.

What about an old EVO, Scooby or even an old RS or Sierra Cosworth.

OR

You could go for a newer sports car, and go used S2000 (not sure of price), MX5 or MR2 (if you want to look like a girl).

The world is your lobster in some respects. 9k is a lot for a toy.





Kindest Regards,
Richard.

I'd be tempted by an Alfa, and you could get a nice Jag with that kind of wedge.

you could go mad and buy a Mondial.

I'd buy a kit

Fury's seem to come up at £4-5k reasonably frequently so that gives some cash over for a bit of upgrading/fiddling/repairing/tyres.
