cool cars sub 6k
« on: November 08, 2015, 09:20:29 am »
I'm in the position of needing to have two cars, one for the wife and one for me, my plan is to buy a cheap practical diesel for the wife and just have a silly fun runabout for me as its only a 10 mile round trip for work each day. So fuel consumption doesn't matter, the coolness factor is the biggest thing to me.

My question to you guys is, if youse had 6 grand to spend on a car what would you buy?

Agree with the above comment!
How about a Corrado VR6? Could get a decent one for that money.
As mentioned - maybe an R32 - find a reasonable mkiv and I reckon you won't lose money on it (other than the running and maintenance, of course!).

How about a mk1 Audi S3? Pretty quick car for the money. Maybe not special enough though...
I've not looked for a while, but would £6k buy an ok Honda S2000?

I would look for a modified MK2 golf, they do come up every now and then (especially this time of year) might even be able to get one that's been painted and or had an engine conversion

Good point. Maybe even a 24v conversion amoungst the odd vr6 and 20vt cars that pop up. Always a bit scary wondering what the hell you'd be getting yourself into though!

That is true so best to try and find one you know or has a tonne of paperwork, but they are awesome if you find a real nice one. If you look up mk2vick on instagram I think he might be selling his MK2.

Often pays to keep an eye on the odd build thread, some tell a much bigger story than the paperwork that comes with the sale.
