Aston would be my dream too - thanks for the thought provoking idea!

C63 AMG?

Wills2 · 05-09-2016, 10:01 AM

It's sold but IIRC it was around 50k

The Gen2 997 (2009 onwards) are holding their value very well.

No rear seats slightly above budget but cares!

The forum trying to edge a budget up and pick things that dont meet criteria, who would have thought it....

An e46 M3 CSL + some cash spare. Pretty depreciation proof and one hell of a car.

You might get 'some' discount

I know you said not too big, but what about a Bentley Conti GT?

Panamera - I actually like the looks of them with right kit but £50k gets one that is getting older and running costs worry me.
C63 (4.0 TT V8) does tick many boxes..... but better than an M3? Not sure....

Back on to the panamera and having had a quick look at autotrader I would seriously consider a 5 year old panamera turbo. Serious performance and at that age depeciation should be ok. Get a warranty and all good. You'd be surprised how much room child seats take up in the back and can restrict how far back you can slide your front seats. Get something with two proper back seats that is also a cool car.
