Nice 4dr Saloon / jeep with plenty of power for around 15k?

sc86

Just sold my 535d last week and looking to replace it
great car, suited what i needed perfect
anyhow looking at something similer but slightly diff
any suggestions? was looking at x5s from around 08 but would have to stretch budget, thought of going back a few years and looking at m5 but not another 5 series just yet

needs to be 4dr, car or jeep, tax is not a concern, nor is what year it is once in budget, ideally around 15 but may go more
started building a house so it could be one last throw of dice before the 4drs turn to mondeo tdi and the likes:D

No shortage of power there and you've another 12k on backup if something goes wrong

Not a saloon, but still.....

Similar idea to RG's suggestion - well under budget and let's face it - time is running out to own a 230hp petrol Subaru.

edit - that's actually a 05 model, so 210hp on the logbook, 16 inch wheels and boggo halogen lights.
06 model was rated at 230, 17 inch wheels and xenons.

Here's a 06 facelift model

There's a stunning Merc S500 LWB 2006 asking €15k on done deal...... Yes it's overpriced but I think they are such a quality motor.....

15k would take this home I'd imagine.

If you're in a situation where you don't have to worry about running costs, tax & mundane stuff go for it!

Get it checked over though, couldn't imagine a gearbox etc being cheap.

dont like the look of them
dont mind running costs but want something reliable
but your thinking outside the box, better option than the jeep cheroke

Needs different wheels and a fresh test but even still. This is one hell of a lot of car for the money. You'd be getting it for €12k leaving cash over to tax it and all that.

The 500 V8 Merc engine is one of the nicest I have ever come across. That generation S-Class is such a fabulous motor too.

It's a left field suggestion!

Odd ball option, must be the only petrol C6 in the country:

great suggestion, i actually prefer a c class to be honest, id considered 1 before i bought the 535
s class remind me of a 7 series, just to big and old man foor me yet lol
