Hello.
I've been wanting a V8 (for the sound) for a while now but been putting it off as I know its not really practical and owned a mk5 Golf R32 a few years ago but sold it after 12 months as I was fed up for 18MPG and the silly tax.
I'm a little better off financially now and the wife has a new BMW so the car will only be for me. Unfortunately I can't afford to run 2 cars so this will be my main car.
I don't do a huge amount of miles - 6 - 8k per year and currently driving a new shape fiesta which is £30 a year to tax and gets around 35mpg!
Anyway....Max budget £10k, needs to be something I can use everyday and be reliable (I know nothings a guarantee) V8 petrol, probably an auto. RHD.
Dream would be a B7 RS4 but they still seem to fetch crazy money! I had the chance to buy a lovely one four years ago for £22k and wish I had as they still seem to fetch that price now!
TVR - too many horror stories.
AMG Merc - too pricey for my budget.
Audi RS4 - As above.
Audi S4 V8 ??
BMW 6 series ??
I've probably already talked myself out of it but any suggestions...?
