My mates just inherited 40 grand. He wants to buy a car whats already done up as he says he wont have the time to do it himself, he's looking to spend around 10k then invest in some ice.

What car do you reckon he should go for - he's 24 for insurance purposes, nearly 25

there are far too many nice cars to mention...these two are just the first two to spring to mind!
