What car would you buy if you had ten grand spare?
« on: 01 August 2009, 20:57:02 »
 I personally would buy a 95-98  Mercedes SL 500 that has been very well looked after, after all it would be a much more environmentally friendly proposition than say, a new Fiat 500. But what would you buy? :)

If I had 10 grand spare, I would sell both my Omega's and get on with breaking the third mig...

And buy a newer mig for around 2-3k.

The rest I would put in a pot for a house!  :y

If I had that sort of money lying around, I'd buy a 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 or 1967 Pontiac GTO or a 1993 911 Carrera Turbo S
