Well currently i have a Nissan S14 and as per usual im getting bored ever so quickly, though i dont even drive the thing, once a week if that. i really miss my old Volvo 850 T5R, comfort and power.

so the current list, also im open to further ideas.

Mitsubishi Evo 3 ( insuring any of the other evo's are a No No!)

Audi S4 (pre 99)

BMW 540-535 ( the 1998 shape) with the sport M-Tech kit

BMW 330i sport E46

Volvo S60 R (slightly out of budget but not by too much)

thats about it on my list, so thats the kind of idea of cars im looking at, saloons 3-5dr. inspiration and past dealing from owners or past owners would be great help!

thankyou

Not the EVO, anything before a 5 is dog ugly. I'd get another T5

£5k won't get you a tidy 5 or 3 series... well, not the ones your eyeing up anyway.

Bit of a curve ball here, but what about a Jaguar XJR?

I've seen a few BMW 5 Series's for around 5-6k which im liking.

the Jag, looks nice, but i couldn't. i would be worried of reliability and possibly looking like an old man before my time.

cheap as chips though! is that the super charged version? im not on top of the jags to be honest.

also has to be manual!
