Pimp cars circa £25k....

Im still on the hunt for a nice motor.....I'm not a great fan of 'normal' cars, they get very broing very quickly...

Im quite flexible as to budget....circa £25k - £30k

Ive done a previous thread, but there were no suggestions additional to mine...so heres the list so far...(in no particluar order)

BMW M5 (e39) - Im very keen on these , but the plain looks put me off (although the stealth factor has a degree of appeal)

Jaguar XKR with 20" alloys - again I like these very much, but the interior is a bit poor, although the car is still a contender. Nikasil issues are a put off...

Porsche 996 - arguably the daddy, but hard to find good uns sub £30k, and the rms issues seem to be a real put off...Gt3 kit etc a must!

Im sure you get the flavour of what Im after.....

Suggestions please!

4.6V8 Mustang GT
Black with red leather interior and a 1000w sound system.

You don't get more pimp than that !

Subevo has open my eyes to a SLK 32 AMG in his thread also in Other Marques.

£23,000 +
3.2 litre, V6, supercharged
354 bhp
0-60 around 5 secs.

Downside.....I hate convertibles, but it has a steel roof so I may be able to live with it. It also has an auto box that flips between auto and sequential gearbox.....I also dislike them. I will wait to see one in the flesh first.

Craig.

Dunno if this is your thing, but what about an older car?

There's '75 Jensen Interceptor on Autotrader - 35k miles and £15k... big pimping, that one and an interesting car historically.

Or an AM V8 Vantage? Proper brute and certainly different.

Why not get an M3? you can pick them up under £25k now and thats a lot of bang for your buck! Problem is they're pretty common.

If all you want is bling then it has to be an X5 £25k will buy an early petrol one. I'd go for the M5... Does everything you could want in one car.
