The time has come to put the house up for sale and upgrade to something with a garage. Nov 2012.

This also means i can finaly buy something a bit more fancy without having to worry about little jealous cunts attacking the car while i sleep at night.

So i will be looking for a new car early 2013 but of course that means the search has already started.

I have narrowed it down to the following:-

e90 M3
135 coupe
335i or d
07 RS4

Anything else i should consider? bearing in mind i have a 4 year old so no 2 seaters im afraid. Also the more money left over at the end of the month the better.

Thanks for the help.

I think you're going to struggle to find any decent cars under 20k

VXR8 gets my vote too.

Any1 remember the issue of TV with the Yellow VXR8 on the cover??

Guy who wrote the feature bought/was buying 1. He summed it up nicely.

In his words " you can't swagger out of an Audi".

Quickly becoming the new Subaru Impreza.

Before you know it you will be able to pick up an E46 M3 fully loaded with red L.E.D's for £3k.

Tbh i dont see the problem with spending 20k on a vauxhall. I cant see the vauxhall being any less reliable than the audi's or bmw's. The corvette engine is a tried and tested lump that hasnt really changed much in donkeys years. The VXR8 is comfortable, spacious, has lots of toys and will stand out on the street far more than any of its other competitors.

And that awsome noise

id invest in a 2 door sierra cosworth or an escort cosworth as it wont lose money and especially with it being kept in a garage.

Well been out all morning browsing showrooms getting silly trade in offers for my 330. Main purpose of today was to go and see this : http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/4044690.htm

and while i was there i spotted this

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/4122911.htm

to be fair i only picked this garage as it had two of the cars i was interested in. we test drove both of them with my little one coming along for the ride as well and to be fair the Audi ticks all the boxes, much more space in the audi.

Note: i will not be buying either of these cars, the m3 is out of reach and the audi is missing a few choice options and has what i would call high millage.
