The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Original title - If you had £40k to buy a new/used car... Hey peeps, Looking for suggestions. Part of me is thinking 370z Nismo but then I'm also thinking what else could I get. I want something fun and sporty.

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Thought about that but I'm trying to see if I can avoid the higher car tax bracket. Started looking at Caymans, yeah I know, it's the poor man's choice of Porsche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Are running costs an issue? If so your choice is much more limited than if you’ve got a bit of cash to spare. But yes, a Cayman in the obvious choice, but one with a six not a four in the middle. V8 Vantage worth a look, as is an R8, and every petrol head should try a Lotus at some point in their life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Yeah running costs will be a factor. Hence why 370z seems like a safer choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) I know I’ve been converted to the classic side of motoring but get the right one and you will have a lot of fun, and make money for a change rather than lose it. You could get a nicely sorted 240z for £40k that will be worth £50k in two years time. Just a thought.. https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C752632 Edited August 21, 2022 by Payco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Need it to be ULEZ compliant. My current car, Renault Clio 1.2 8v X reg is on its way out. Will be fun rocking up and asking for a test drive and trying to part exchange it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Cayman 981s it is I think. Now to find one with the 3.4 engine, pdk, sports exhaust, sports chrono package and in sapphire blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umster Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I've just taken snaps of my E90 M3 - will post it later but well within your budget. Fun, sporty and actually practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a black one with 22k miles on the clock. But really want one in that blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Oh and I do know a good indy, used to on here with his Veilside 350z. I'm sure I'll contact him if I get the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
