What car would you buy for 10K
I had a conversation with a guy today who was debating what car he would buy for 10K.
Excluding 7 type kitcars.
The criteria is that it would be a weekend toy,be fast,entertianing and good to look at.It can be old or modern.
My pic was a Audi UR Quattro,but by todays standards that would probably feel slow!
What you pic

Well if you didn't exclude 7s you could build 40 Locosts.

I like that NSX,might be tempted myself if its still there!
Not wishing to offend i find Elises a bit Girlie!,i do like the VX220 though.
The Intergralle is a great car but you would always expect it to breakdown all the time.

e39 M5 - you can use it every day as well!
They are a proper bargain now!
Although it can mean 'lumpy' repair bills it it goes t*ts up!

No, no, no you're all wrong!

Nice choices, all wrong unfortunately.
The answer is Porsche 968 CS.
The Elise is a bit too "hairdresser" for me

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
