Vauxhall (Holden) Monaro?

e39 m5  

Hell of a car for the money. I am in awe of these  

[Black9]

I've got an E39 M5, believe me any 5K M5 won't be 5K for long. These cars have BIG bills

I'd recommend a DC2 ITR, you'd have money left Over as well

   how much have you spent so far?  eek.

I was looking at these and the V10 versions the other day on AT... can grab the latter for 13k ish... mental - but as you say, still 40/50k+ cars in maintenance terms.

[Black9]

So far on maintenance and tyres alone almost 2K. That's not including the respray 

It's a great machine but comes with big bills

Thinking of selling it and my MK5 golf GTI & replacing them with a B7 RS4

PL never available in UK on Golf.

[Paul_zx6r]

what about fiesta rs turbo, should have plenty of money left over after buying it for loads of mods, lsd, bigger turbo, chip etc....... well after you sort out any rust issues

[Scottymon]

It's amazing you can get Mk5 Golf GTI and similar era hot hatches for £5k, such a great car for the money; esp. if you have VCDS and can DIY most faults.

You can't have a sporty 4 seat convertible.

It just is not possible.
