To be honest I wouldnt have much faith in any E60 I'd find for 6k. Early 530i's were average enough, 231bhp at the start, 256 mid-way through life, 276 odd at the end. IS250 suggestion not bad. Focus ST is much better to drive than Astra OPC. But if you don't like them then thats that.
How about a Legacy saloon? A few 3 litre ones might suit.

If I go for accord I would love to go for that k20 version of it, unfortunately those are out of my range.

And btw, I hate jap cars. I would newer ever own a jap car and would not put it on my list, because all of them are pure shiet. I would better go to work on wheelie bin, then anything with jap badge!

CianRyan · 07-05-2012 8:51pm

My vote here is for the 3/6 MPS.
Have you considered an R35 Skyline? Not a GTR now, the coupe withe the engine from a 350Z.

I'm very confused, you loved your R33 and you just said you'd buy an Accord... But you hate Jap cars?
What am I missing here?

I was toying with z350 idea, but tax is a killer. I just can't

. 530d was more of exeption as I could get it cheaper, save money on petrol and justify 3.0 tax.

im must be getting old, if i cant see the difference between them. :pac:
same i cant see big difference between mb and bmw, as vw and audi, as cars in same range are very similar, i mean budget st ups, or "all bells and whistles" class. hondas and toyotas are very reliable cars, with own " - " and " + " , i woul;dnt put in same sentence germans and japs, and i always thought japs are reliable cars, germans also are good enough , id say better interior quality. from all cars what i had, id prefer japanese cars.

Big differences between most of those marques. Accord is a league ahead of an Avensis, and an E-class is chalk to a 5 series cheese. VW and Audi are quite similar though!

Evo 7/8, Nissan 350z(3.5 tax), Opel speedster, boxster, golf R32....

If you can afford to run a WRX....do it!

Brian · 07-05-2012 9:51pm

Feel like going back to Nissan? :pac:

Not keen on the body kit, but I've always loved that colour.

Ardennes1944 · 07-05-2012 10:06pm

dont like old jap stuff but that s15 is beautiful!

CianRyan · 07-05-2012 10:07pm

If you're going WRX, you might aswell go STI.

if i am not mistaken, sti version was jap import 2 door subaru. saw one last winter in blanchardstown industrial estate... was messin there...., awesome machine.

ShadowHearth · 07-05-2012 10:15pm

Thx lads, but I will skip heavy modified jap stuff this time. Standart wrx, might be better option.

S15 became very rare too. All jap Performance is very rare now. Barely any s14 there too!

this OPc is for sale on donedeal. Wheels look really scuffed though. can anyone explain if that dash is nor mal too? as it went as xmas lights. funny fact about opel astra/corsa OPC - those dont have water tempreture gage... :rolleyes:

Be aware too, given the quick glimpse of the brakes in the video, i'm positive they aren't Brembos. Just cheap plastic ebay shiit.

Ardennes1944 · 07-05-2012 11:07pm

theyre just brembo brakes covers. the 6 pot brakes on the opc are good enough standard

i dont know what to make of the dash OP. looks like it flickered alright but it could be the camera too or something. that car has been for sale for a long time. the corsa opc has been also. i was looking at them about 6 months ago and both those 2 were for sale. id offer loooooow.
there is a normal sri 3 door astra turbo on donedeal for 5k. it has 99k miles though. theyre 170 standard but can be brought up to 200 easily. needs a few upgrades to get the 240 of the opc.
