Dick Longbridge Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Economic realism? I'd still choose a Merak, but would be relying on coming into a reasonable wad of money and / or doing a bank job, or something. I'd imagine fighting galloping rot would be pricey enough.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Economic realism, you say. Well, if I was doing what I do now for a living, I doubt I'd be driving Mercs or Volvos, rather be making a choice from these 3 and dreaming of affording a P5 Rover. eddyramrod, danthecapriman, Junkman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 These are economically realistic for you?You have achieved more in life than I did, that's for sure.Not now, but they compare to the sort of things I buy for work cars , ie Volvo V70, Merc E Class, BMW 5er, I think.The sort of car a mid to senior manager might get as a company car whilst climbing the corporate ladder towards a Rover or Humber ( or if a spiv or in the media a Jaguar).Saying that, £5000 would buy a reasonable example of a big Farina , mk3 Z car or PB VX. Pretty good value, even for low achievers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
