I saw one of these in Limerick years ago, I have been in love ever since. Just wish I would just grow a pair and find one of these.

I agree with you in that the 19" m-pars don't look quite right, but I don't think it's the wheel size.

20inch Alpinas look fantastic on an e38

Prefer it with the M-Pars, more classy looking.

Came across this article a good while ago and forgot to share...........interesting reading for this forum. Although the pricing is in $, it gives you a good indication as to what is available in the market. It highlights the "The Most Depreciated Cars Of The Past Ten Years" in the US.

Guys, increasing the budget to €5k as luxobarges have become rarer over the last 6 months and some prices have gone up.
Doesn't necessarily have to be €5,000 asking, but needs to be as close as possible (so if you know you could drive the price down to €5k, post)

The Lexus has gone down €795 in price over the 6 months.

There's been a lot of heart ache in here over what makes a luxo barge.

Basically it's a big luxurious car with the ride complements of a barge.
Some say it has to have a big engine but luxo barges aren't about racing. They're about space and serenity.

power pants · 19-12-2013 07:46PM

That is you opinion

define driving like a barge? does an audi s8 drive like one? I wouldn't know so I was just wondering

Id have thought a big engine was a must, no point in driving something that is underpowered, not even talking about racing

Must vaguely resemble one of these.

Big engine, fairly long, holds alot of stuff.

power pants · 19-12-2013 07:53PM

vaguely. That goes by water, the other is a car which drives on the road

Jeez, remove the badge at the back and you couldn't tell it from a 1.8 E200!

When I bought the alfa I transferred the insurance over to it straight away after signing the log.
So Id argue when te log is signed your now the owner, because If you weren't until Shannon had issued a new log, then in effect you could be seen as stealing the car.

If you were to drive it on third party extension post signing the change of ownership form then I doubt that you'd be insured

when one purchases a car, one can take the log book to the motor tax office, tax it, they keep the log book, then you get a new on whenever.

Why would I take the log book when I buy the car?
I fill in my details, it gets posted off by the previous owner and then a few days/weeks later I get the new log.

Exactly, the seller keeps the log book and they send it off.

My favourite bit in Top Gear when James May points out to Jemery where stuff will go wrong with his XJS and just rapidly waves his fingers at the engine, lol. (India special)

Moving a big heavy luxurious car requires a confidently powerful engine, which is a large CC block of some sort. An A8 with a 2.0litre engine wouldnt be very serene*.

* Yes I know they are planning a mega charged 4pot for the A8..

Were those wheels even out in 02?

Would be very serene actually. You wouldn't be able to move that car with a 2.0 .
