Question Change car

So it's like this.... want to change my car - current motor an 02 WRX blue with gold OZ 18's STI type rear spoiler 42 k miles full service history lots of pwk and reciepts etc etc....
Had the car 3 yrs so fancy a change. Ideal car a later STI with PPP but here in NI proving difficult to find a good low mileage one - budget 14 poss £15 K.

Getting desperate and today test drove a BMW 735i. Lots of toys etc very powerful -270 bhp - but not the most exciting drive....

What do I do ???????

Loads loads loads here for your budget and it's a buyers market !

Hi mate,it took me quite some time to locate the perfect one,and if i where you i'd head over the water for it!!! loads of better deals.I ended up going to Edinbrough for mine,the reason? It had to be black and an 05 up! Donnelly's as i'm sure you have visited once or twice wanted £18000 for the one they had and it had 32000 miles on it,i got mine from a dealer (not drug) for £13500 and he through in a new HKS dump valve!!!Also it only had 22300 miles on it!! So good luck and keep your options open. p.s not a beemer,never a beemer!! do you never see the amount of them on the back of breakdown trucks

How does that work? It's part of the UK isn't it so I assume you can just drive it back without any registration problems?

For some reason, cars are always cheaper in Scotland and the North West of England. I always travel for my cars.
