...in a little while when you have some money.

I finish uni in about 2 years and should have enough money in like about 4 years to buy an SL55 AMG from 2006 or so. 7 year old cars are going for the price of a new Ford Mondeo.

6 year old one is 26K http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IMMACULATE-20...ewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item2ea8d1c3ea

So which cars do you think you could actually afford to buy in a few years. This is a bit different from us all hoping to buy some dream car 20 years in the future.
 
For me it would be an Audi A5 I guess :) well specced not-S models should go for under 20k then.
 
Escort Mk. 2. I could still get a REASONABLY decent one for 2k?.. I'm just too committed to the Sierra to buy it, also I don't have room for 2 cars, and the concept of a student being able to afford 2 cars is not possible. :( If I had 5k? extra money though, I would buy it tomorrow..
 
*Checks carsales for SL55s

Hmm, cheapest one is a 2003 for $120k (around GBP55k). Stupid resale.

Not sure what my next car is going to be, I really have a thing for AMG C63s.

Seriously WTF? I got a neg rep from this post saying: "fuck off douchebag"
That's like the 3rd time I've gotten an unsigned neg rep for no apparent reason.. Is there any way to know who did it?
 
sadly i wanted to give you some rep to cover those stupid neg rep but a little lutin said i had to go hi five more cia member before doing that.
 
mondeo st220 or 159 alfa....
 
Renault Clio Sport :)
Mercedes CLK430/55
Mazda RX7 FD
Mustang Cobra
 
Mazda RX-8.

Oh wait.

In all seriousness, I'm committed for a while. This thing better hold up.
 
I'm actually getting a strong desire to get a 300zx Z32. They just look so good and the n/a models seem to be fairly reliable with decent power.
 
I do have a strong desire for an old RR-- Range Rover, ha!
 
I'll say 2010 impreza or outback, since there's a really good chance one of them might be my next car. In about a year or so.

I can't think of anything right now for an older car though. And thats strange.

A C5 Z06 would be a fun choice for relatively little money.

Or a 996 911, although I would be paranoid as hell about the costs of maintenance and reliability.
