I'm always thinking of buying a new car. I'm just watching Tomorrow never dies on tv now. So i want an E38 740i in metallic grey!

faw1tytowers

I'm looking for family mpv

have ruled out the peugot 307 estate, now between the scenic and maybe the picasso. €5000 limit and more than likely will go for 1.6 petrol.

Well to be fair, e38s aren't expensive these days. 2000 would get you one, probably not a 740 though. Bangernomics!

EDIT
Actually here's one! Bang on the money. Although i doubt it has an nct and who know what the mileage is.

Really nice car, congrats!

drunkmonkey

Yup
Lexus Is220d
Love it
Milage when bought 74,000
Mpg, absolutely shocking for a diesel, averaging 32mpg

Things I love,
Heated seats
Lights that follow you round the cornor
Electric everything
Comfy leather
180bhp
Rear wheel drive

Would I buy new? Not a hope but as a second hand motor more or less impossible to get the same extras in any car. Upset with the mpg but used to turbo petrols so I'll learn to live with it.

Next car? S2000 when I start to do less milage per year.

ooouuufff! Hard on diesil. Is that typical for that car? The xtras sound custy though :cool:

EPM

Yup, picked it up today. 09 Octavia vRS CR170, 38k km. Has xenons and the 18 inch alloy wheel upgrade and I'm getting an oem sat nav unit fitted next week.

Did Cork to Dublin this evening and the trip computer shows an average of 5.5l/100km. Also has enough urge for overtaking and was comfy which exacty fits the brief I has when choosing a new car.

Good going there! sounds like a decent motor! Interested to find out what the petrol consumption is like. Was tempted to buy an accord 2 years ago. Was all set of the 2.2 diesel version but was a tad pricey at the time.

The diesel version always had a noisy enough engine...which of course turned me back to the petrol - but was afraid of it killing me with fuel costs and big tax so backed out of my big plan:(

Nothing as of yet, just waiting for the weather to pick up so I can give it a good wash and wax.

Bought a 2002 Bmw 520 2.2 M-Tech Petrol a few months ago.
Bit thirsty but thats to be expected with the size and weight
So comfortable though, suede seats etc.


Same as this one
