..........well not you but maybe me!
Looking for suggestions for a weekend/summer car for around that budget, might only come out for 6mths a year, needs to be a 4 seater or hatch because of the young un and preferably something sporty or maybe a soft top.
Would have loved another S2 RS Turbo but prices seem to have gone a bit daft for decent examples so now maybe looking down the A4 Cab, Mk1 Golf cab or Mk2 16v Gti as nice examples falling into price range but wondered what other things people could throw into the mix.

For £5k you could buy a decent MK Indy. Unfortunately lacking in number of seats, but for a fun/weekend blaster........

Id buy the Mini Cooper S thats for sale on here!

If it was me, I would consider something like this:
Oak Green, MK2 Golf GTI 16V:

e39 m5 :evilgrin:

Vauxhall (Holden) Monaro?
-
e39 m5 :evilgrin:
Hell of a car for the money. I am in awe of these :notworthy:
-
I've got an E39 M5, believe me any 5K M5 won't be 5K for long. These cars have BIG bills
I'd recommend a DC2 ITR, you'd have money left Over as well

:popcornsoda: how much have you spent so far? eek.
I was looking at these and the V10 versions the other day on AT... can grab the latter for 13k ish... mental - but as you say, still 40/50k+ cars in maintenance terms.
-
So far on maintenance and tyres alone almost 2K. That's not including the respray :sad1:
It's a great machine but comes with big bills
Thinking of selling it and my MK5 golf GTI & replacing them with a B7 RS4 :driver:

Mk2 GTi 16V

PL never available in UK on Golf.
-
what about fiesta rs turbo, should have plenty of money left over after buying it for loads of mods, lsd, bigger turbo, chip etc....... well after you sort out any rust issues
-
It's amazing you can get Mk5 Golf GTI and similar era hot hatches for £5k, such a great car for the money; esp. if you have VCDS and can DIY most faults.
-
You can't have a sporty 4 seat convertible.
It just is not possible.

PL? All mk2 16vs unless they've been converted are KR code engines. PL is a yank engine that had a cat on it!
Get a Corrado VR6! You'll get a very good one for 5K. I flipping love mine. :)
