Why does anyone spend 20k on a Mondeo when you can have that!
Its not affected by tax either! :D

Yeah, that's the kind of thing that I would consider if I were planning a massive upgrade from the miggy. The problem is that it is more of an upgrade in cost than in value.
What other W and X reg cars similar to the miggy might be tempting? Ones where the price is dropping due to fuel costs, but before the tax rise.

Both the Monaro and the M5 are simply droolworthy.
I'm seriously considering that Monaro right now.

Thing is, if i got the 5.7, i would always wish i got the 6.0 VXR.
I think the 6's look a lot better, they are slightly more, but still utterly stunning i think :)

I agree, but that car, with that mileage is an absolutley incredible price.
If we start getting into the 6 litre cars then I'd want to go all the way. There was someone on here who's brother had a 6 with a Wortek SC on it that was creating 500+ bhp.
Couldn't agree more with you though on your comment about the 6, but that 5.7 is still a beautiful car for the money.
I'd buy the warranty transfer too though; at £300 it is well worth it.
-
Buying price is just like an entry card with one of those cars, been there! I know a guy with an M5 and the yearly spend on tyres alone is eye watering... and some scrotes nicked his front bumper >:(
I'd rather have a classic that I could maintain myself (like my 635 [smiley=beer.gif] )

Tunnie , you will need a fuel shop too ;D
Here, they are also crazy cheap (models 2000,2001) :o the reason is,
in city traffic they spend enormous fuel 17-18 liter /100 km..And when I hear prices for the parts I gave up.. ;D
However if you can afford it and plan to use only on weekends it may
sound logical.. :y

But the M5 has 90,000 miles on it, is approaching 9 years old. OK performance great.
The Monaro was same price 35,000 miles on it and 4 to 5 years old but will have higher tax to pay.
I would expect the older higher mileage car to require more maintenace and more expensive parts than the newer one.
Having that kind of money to spend on a plaything, it has to be the Monaro, because it is rarer, probably more fun and will get more admiring glances.
Just my useless opinion.

i would have to see if my snowboard bag would fit in either, i could easily live with a Monaro as my daily drive!

Jag XK/XJ
The A6 is a nice car, but doesn't handle very well and is a bit of an old design now. The A8 is quite good, but doesn't have enough headroom.
Might look into an XJ. Saw a really nice N-reg XJR yesterday. Thought they were unreliable and expensive to maintain though?
