My Scooby has to go and I have £30k to 'play' with...

I want something that is....

1) Fun to drive
2) Comfortable for long motorway miles
3) Not a Merc / BMW
4) Quick (scooby quick if possible)
5) Reliable
6) Wont look out of place in the company car park (Usual mix of exec cruisers...)

Help!

Mak.

 

Deposit on a new Ford GT40?(as per last night's Top Gear)

 

How about a Holden?

I've seen some in the UK for £25-30k...

 

what about one of those reasonably quick Volvo's - S60R is it, I think there's an AWD version as well.

I drove a simlar model a while back and it was superb, eats motorways, great cabin and what a sound system!

 

Audi TT ?

 

S/H 911

 

Go for a nice R34 Gtr! Since selling my Sti 6 and moved onto the skyline i havent looked back. The car is just the nuts, trust me.

Cheers

Gerry

why does it have to go ?

 

S4

 

Don't do it,
£30k = Sti8 + PPP bits , yes please !!!

 

R34 Skyline

 

Some nice ideas... thoughts so far...

- R34 - Heart says "yeahyeahyeah!" Mind says "too many spoilers for my office car park!"

- R32 Golf - too small

- Audi TT - ..... errr no thanks!

- X Type Jag - modern day cortina?

- S/H 911 - My favourite so far!

- Holden - Where would I get it serviced???

Please keep em coming - its a question you will all face one day!

I would back the vote for the Volvo S60

I had one for 18 months and did 65,000 happy miles in it.

I had the 2.4T SE but my mate now has the type R... Lovely motor

So comfy it's scary eats the motorway, looks the nuts IMHO.... and as mentioned unbelievable 12 speaker Bose stereo..

If I was company car-ing again I would walk straight past Merc BM Audi (Of which I have had 3 and loved) and straight into a Volvo garage....

 

Got to be an S4. Not a Merc/BMW.
It's a bit of a Q car, nice and quick, a pleasure on the M-Way.

 

another vote for Porsche 993. How about this one -

Lexus IS300 - you'll have to get rid of the rear lenses though, I mean they're awful aren't they?

 

Audi S6 (not the RS) - nice spec and a grunty 4.2 V8 ..... very subtle, especially as an estate!

 

Don't do it buy this.........

Nissan 350Z

 

for huge "presence" (sp?) and that, i woop **** look, it has to be an R34, comparitivly rare to!
These things rock IMO.

 

30k hmmmmmmm...................I got it......................... buy a Skoda Vrs.......get it remapped to 230bhp.........
then buy 15k worth of cocaine and hookers................
not as fast as a Scoob.......but think of the memories........

I have just replaced scoob with Skoda [dont larf] but unfortunately do not have another 15k for coke n birds

 

What about this little chappie.....It's a 1994 993 Carrera2,finished in polar silver with blue leather,52000 miles full service history, all MOTs bills etc. Extras include 3rd brake light,turbo alloys,lenses and tips,RS front spoiler,in immaculate condition £28,950 not including no.plate,[it's going on my wagon!]
See thread for owner

but that only leaves £1050 for prostitutes and hard liquer?

 

that'll get u 2 nights with mine lol and some change.....

 

LOL

 

I would go for the Pork as well....oh, I did!

Surprisingly smooth and quiet on the motorway - in 6th gear (make sure you get a manual) it will cruise at 70mph at around 2,400rpm. And will scuttle off when you boot it - no turbo lag.

You will not get better depreciation on a 30k car - have it for a couple of years - even do 20k miles and you will only lose 3-5k.

Great to drive, especially the 993, and quick even the lowly Carrera 2 - mine does a faster quarter than my standard Sti V ever did!!!!

Volvo C70 GT? very good looking car imo.

Jag S type R. Not my thing, but supposed to be good.

Overfinch tweaked range rover - http://www.overfinch.com/index2.htm 400bhp as well.

I'm sure vauxhaul (sp) dealers would service a Holden (although don't take my word for it). They're sold by the same company in Oz anyway. There's even an estate & a 4x4 coupe...

 

Sorry but why the hell don't you get a Scoobs!?!?!

You want something that sounds/looks and goes like a Scoob for Scooby money, I'd say a Scoob may be the best choice?!?!?

 

Legacy B4 RSK - is what I'd get given the option
