Gentlemen, your task, should you chose to accept it, is to scour Donedeal et al for me and recommend a fully loaded fast car for €3000 to €4000.

Cash on the hip, cost of tax and insurance not an issue

Doesn't have to be a FORD even, but better than my ST170 Focus.

What's out there?

Alanstrainor · 18-10-2012 2:37pm

330ci or something along those lines?

States it's a genuine R32, but taxed as a 1.8

Probably down as a standard Golf GTi in the book.

I've a 92 on classic insurance but you have to have a main car also

barura · 18-10-2012 4:30pm

I'm also a fan of VR6 Corrados, but I'm thinking more about fun older cars, you want something better than a ST? That's a pretty sick car in its own right.

However

A tad over budget and red... You'll probably get it for 4000

A B4 Legacy would be another.

Over budget but still, 1 look at the v6 will have made up for it. yum

Ronnie Beck · 18-10-2012 5:14pm

I'm a big fan of these too. The interior on this one could be nicer.

Serious cars for the money too and a huge array of aftermarket parts for when you fancy a bit more power.

barura · 18-10-2012 5:52pm

Sick would be comparable to "Fúcking awesome" in the case I used it.

dgt · 18-10-2012 5:52pm

Ok, this is well over budget...

Buuuuuut.....

Matt Simis · 18-10-2012 5:58pm

For 4k you would get a good condition E36 M3/Evo (though not necessarily this one):
http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4047012

Or if you can find them forsale:
- Audi S4 2.7 Biturbo.
- 850I V12 BMW
- Late model (as in the latest, last year of them) BMW 840i MSport V8 is just a little over budget at EUR6200 asking:

keithsfleet · 18-10-2012 6:28pm

Possibly the prettiest looking car going, the interior is mind numbingly-mercedes-boring though.

Don't like the lack of pictures or info but....

Better colour and more info/ pics

thecomedian · 18-10-2012 7:15pm

That 840 that Matt put up would be worth a look.

Cheap S40 T5 - same engine as the ST

Old S3

How about these?

A little bit over budget

A few different ideas there.

ShadowHearth · 18-10-2012 7:55pm

I like the xk jag, but that blue colour is fecking dumb.

ARGINITE · 18-10-2012 7:57pm

CianRyan · 18-10-2012 7:58pm

GTO's are serious cars but the electronics can be dodgy on them.
Rare as **** to find a decent on though.

Idbatterim · 18-10-2012 8:22pm

was just about to suggest the Merc Cl 500's!

Was gonna say try stretching to an ST225 but the market on them seems to have dried up since the summer

CianRyan · 18-10-2012 9:23pm

Sweet sleeper, no one's gonna suspect that of flying off down the road. Haha

Edit: The Mondeo that is.

cplwhisper · 19-10-2012 12:11pm

'89 XR3i in dublin - sorry link not working - looks straight and cared for - may fit the classic criteria too - PM me to sort

Any decision as to what you're gonna go for?

Have you tested any yet, what?

corktina · 20-10-2012 10:41am

no decision made...how could you chose from that lot!

Won't be doing anything for a week as I must take current car off to it's new owner in the UK first (and collect the dosh) (that is my very last Cortina..i'll have to think of a new name soon)

I've always fancied an Alfa (what is it Top Gear say on that subject .?. everyone should own one once in their lives) so that GTA is appealing. Also found quite a few others around DOnedeal that are interesting.
