What will the car be used for? For my my own needs, 30k budget I would be looking at a Lotus Evora, BMW M3 V8 and go faster bits, BMW M235 with go faster bits. If I wanted something very track focussed, Caterham R300/R400 or a well built Lotus Elise with a K20/Nitrons etc bunged on. Taking running costs into account, I'd get an FK2 Civic Type R of a Seat Leon Cupra sub 8 and get a spare set of wheels with sticky tyres on and pocket the change. |
I guess a fun every other day car . To be used all year round .. 4 seats would be good ... really quite fancy a mint low mileage e46 m3 , but finding a good one will be difficult I think ! |
Depends on your needs but with £30k I'd be choosing between this disparate bunch
- Audi RS6 -AMG C63 -Discovery 4 -Vauxhall VXR8 and change |
If you want something comfy and quick maybe a 7 or 5 series with a big motor. Or an S4, S6... S8 an E46 is old.. not ideal for a daily and they do have the diff mount issue i dont find heavy fast cars that exciting, you could get a cracking exige which would not lose money for 30k but prob couldnt use it every day the new civic type r is supposed to be very good. But wrong wheel drive. One of those big Lexus 5l? Evora must be tempting get a loan and buy an Exige S2 ;).. |
I'd keep the S2k as said.
Buy an Integra DC5 - for winter fun Accord Type R - for long distance motoring Civic 1.6 VTi Estate - for lugging stuff Keep the change for running costs. and a bike license. |
The s2000 not going anywhere..... so that sort of rules out a lotus ( 2 of the same sort of car , obviously the lotus is even more driver focused than the S ) not into massive cars ......
