Looking at getting another car...
« on: 10 March 2017, 12:46:07 »

I sadly and unwillingly parted company with my old mig back at the end of 2012 and miss it virtually everyday.  Even now, I find myself looking at mig's when trying to find an affordable (bargain basement) car.

Am I the only one who misses their mig or have some found a suitable replacement...

Your certainly right there Opti, got to be one of the worst looking cars ever just looks so cumbersome why anyone would pay good money for one of those I don't know.

Executives at Porsche must have sat around a table and said "The new car is perfect, lets start production"

Were they visually impaired? ;D

My list of replacements is - BMW e38 740i. Merc CL500. Lexus ls400/430. Jag XJ8. Its probably easier for me because I'm not looking for a newer car than the one I already have.
I need to keep this one a while though, as I have spent a shedload of money on it, that I will never get back if I sell it. This is unfortunate in a way,as due to the fact I'm not looking to buy, I keep seeing cars that are really tempting.  ::) ;D

 :y :y :y for the highlighted cars.

The Lexus is best suited to 'lardarse yanks' who probably weigh almost as much as the car itself.

I'm at the age where I'm attracted by the comfort and all the toys & gadgets.  ;)
They are listed in order of preference btw. I have loved big engine e38,s from afar for a long time. I could even be tempted by a 750i, but the cost of running one would be madness. If I found a nice one at the right price, with a working TV and phone I'm not sure I could help myself.  ::)  ;D

I'm the same. Common sense says "don't do it".......the irrational part of me says "f*ck it, what the hell".

Most people will know that I'm far more irrational than rational. :y

Got offered an LS400 a few days ago, lovely car and one I have fancied owning for a long time...  Unfortunately I don't have suitable pockets to run a V8 (or V6) petrol, possibly an LPG conversion (as long as the tank doesn't use half the boot) and I did note in my original post, bargain basement prices, money as always is very tight...
