Oh I wouldn't mind a CAT D, I was only talking to my mate about the same thing the other night. He wouldn't I would... he said that they would be harder to shift when you want to sell it.

    This is the most relevant post so far. If you buy something for around 15k to 20k you'll need a decent regular income to run and maintain it.

    Probably best spending around the 10k to 15k mark and be able to run it for several years.

    I expect to see a for sale thread in the next few months for a tasty car.

    ?!? if you buy a supercar like an m3, rs4, 911 etc then regardless of the purchase price it'll cost proper coin to keep in good order so if you're on a budget then i'd forget anything remotely costly!

    And in which situation do you think the OP will have more 'proper coin' available to spend?

    Change from 10K or change from 19K?

    Change from 10K + OP's annual income = longer running car.

    But hence why its 3/4's the usual cost of a straight one. Wink

    It wouldnt bother me as most cars have had paint/work regardles of HPI status
