as title suggests i have sold my RS6 and the guy is coming to collect it tomorrow,so i have 18k sitting in the bank now and have no idea which direction to go next.I have been looking at BMW e92 335s (i know i know,i have been derogatory towards them at times) but they are good all rounders all the same despite being a little drab inside.Are there any other avenues i should be exploring? i have also had a very brief nosey at Jaguar XFs but have no idea about those and the only ones in my budget are quite high milers but they do have ALL the toys

ideas?

Why did you sell up fella? Sounded a great car to me! Can you get the V8 RS4 for that money - my choice if so

i'd love a B7 RS4 but unfortunately they are around the 22k mark now.I'm selling up because apart from the lack of use and only short journeys resulting in 14.9 mpg and also forking out every month for warranty (which is essential on these cars) it was leaving me a little short in the wallet and also probably the biggest reason is that after 6 months i really didnt gel with it.It is an awesome car with ridiculous power and grin factor but it was just sat outside during the week and if i am perfectly honest i want something newer.Don't get me wrong the interior was superb in terms of build quality but it was still based on a 1998 car,but as it was quite highly modded i got a good price for it which is remarkable for a 4.2 V8 twin turbo in todays climate.I just want something that is still quite pokey but a lot more up to date

very nice Tony but its a clattering diesel for one and secondly it doesnt have i-drive which makes it quite plain IMO.I am looking at the 335i territory or something similar,it doesnt have to be BMW by any means just something to satisfy me for another 6 months

Clattery? not these silky smooth ones you wont even know your driving a derv until you fill her up (plus its 35-40mpg )

behave yourself,you are starting to sound like twateeboy

but seriously i had a 535d before the RS6 and it was surprisingly quiet for a 6 pot diesel and i really liked that car but i had an itch to scratch in the RS6 so i wouldnt rule it out completely.....its just a case of getting the best available for the money and i am in no rush to replace the Audi as i have the Skoda

What happens in 6 months?

iTrader: (2)

i'll probably get bored and change again.Recently i have become a serial car changer when in the past i used to keep them for 3 years + I just can't seem to find a car that will satisfy me long tem,i am always seeing cars that make me wonder what they are like to own hence the constant changes

scooby STI
Focus RS
M3
Boxter

All good fun to own, and might keep you intrested

From a RS6. your suggesting a FOCUS RS?! or a crappy Porsche, your mad, lol

I can agree with the M3.

I'd say, as above, M3, or M5

Monaro VXR 500 or just buy a standard VXR and save some of the pennies.

Did MRC do you remap on the RS6?

scooby-tc

iTrader: (2)

no it was done at Unit 20

paulwrxboro

yes but you cant get a 2 year old RS6 for 18k can you ?.. NO, and thats what the OP is after something newer with a modern feel

Have you ever driven a boxter ? I willing to bet NO

All the cars i posted are great cars for decent money IMO

paulwrxboro

Monaro Good call

TVR T350c (My next car hopefully)
Aston Martin DB7
SL 500 (Dont think you could get an AMG for under 18k)

I am guessing you haven't driven a Boxster then?

Superb little cars - maybe not as fast as some - but still fast compared to most, and the noise, and the handling, and the quality, and no lid for sunny days.



Or how about an S2 Elise?

LEO-RS

The Mk2 Focus RS is a bit of an underperformer is it not? By all accounts even with a tune to 400hp they are still only luke warm. All show and no go, surely better off with a Mk1 car then, quicker?

M3/RS4 for the money if you can find decent examples

Or how about 1 of the VAG hot hatches, 350hp tune, sh*t off a shovel. Golf Ed 30, S3 or Leon Cupra?

an elise or a monaro, have some fun.

My missus has a Boxster S and its great little car, enjoy driving it more than either of my previous E36 & E46 M3s - only draw back is the lack of space.

scooby-tc

iTrader: (2)

well it burbled off down the road earlier (my god it sounds good) so i am left with an empty parking space now

cheers for the suggestions guys i will look into some of them but i am in no hurry as i still have the Octavia for running around in

Yeah i have actually, it was a yellow one. And i honestly wasn't impressed with it, IMO it was pants.
