If you had £10k to spend, what car would you get?


Best thing is spend alittle on another car to get you into the insurance friendly age bracket. Then whack out your 10k.
 
Audi A4/8 2.0 TDI

beautiful car and can get up to 55mpg. PLENTY of space, and well within your price range. want something more gutsy just got for the 3.0 TDI, still great MPG.
 
Tried UK dc2 ?
Insurance is a good bit cheaper than imports and can get them cheap these days :nice:

For 10k - 15k I am deciding between (without worrying about insurance) from cheapest to most expensive:

350z
S2000
VX220 Turbo
370z
Porsche Cayman S (2006 or earlier)

For what you get, it's hard to argue with the Porsche - cost 55k new and is now £17k with all the top of the range extras.
 
Cant help but notice that some of these cars being recomended are going to be mega money to insure. I think a newish golf gti or the starlet was a good shout. Personly i would buy some thing pretty cheap and low powerd untill my insurance goes down. Think what you could buy with all the insurance money saved. I made a similar mistake with my first 9, got a loan out then had crippling repayments and mega insurane. Couldnt maintain and enjoy the car half as much as i would have liked to. End result; had to sell it. Or it would have finacialy taken over my life. I waited 3 long years and now realy enjoy owning my 9. I had a subaru justy 4x4 and eg civic esi in the 3 years i waited.
 
Always thought Polo 9N3 Gti's were cool.

Although if it were me in your situation I would have a silver FN2 on some bronze Volks of some sort.
 
Non turbo S15, have change left over too. Insurance isn't too bad on them.

Insurance is an issue for him, and an e46 m3 isn't cheap to run by any means

not that expensive to run tbh - inspection 2 services are pricey, but otherwise it is just a N/A rwd car! cheaper to run than an evo / skyline etc

even driving like a dick i can average out at 20mpg in the M3, would be looking at half that in some sort of turbo AWD beast

Well done everyone,
Your suggestions for insurance friendly cars are brilliant;
S15, e46 m3, s2000, even a highly modded ek9 when he can't insure a standar one ....
Ideal for someone struggling to insure something!

oh **** hahah

sorry yo i thought this was a 'any car for ten k go!' type thread.

in this case i would alter my answer to

civic ek4. nice black one, should be reasonably cheaper than the imports.

EDIT: just read the first post now, dudes got an ek3, prob doesnt want an ek4 haha

A £200 banger and forget the loan, save your money for a house. obviously not going to happen so I would go for a half sporty focus or golf.
 
My choice would be a Edition 30 Golf GTI. if you was to mod it Stage 2+ is around 360+ bhp
