Looking for a new project.

Well the 740i has gone. I bought it as I wanted a big V8 barge. Now done that.

I want a new toy. Has to be Turbo and petrol. Budget is up to 1k for the right car. This is what makes it a challenge.

I'm fancying a Saab 9-5 HOT aero but I've missed the decent looking ones in budget.

Has to be manual.

Looking forward to suggestions!!

Yeah I've had a bit of a look at the 9-3 and it's on the list of possibles.

I thought about it but I want a saloon or similar size.

 Looks tidy too. Not far off the weight of that 740 though  :rofl:

 

 

 Don't be put off by the mileage too much either, this engine is capable of big distances.

Yeah. I've had the barge but now I want a fast comfortable saloon/estate on a tight budget..

I'd be mega impressed to see a remotely good nick one of them near the budget. They all get smashed into walls in the name of "drifting"

Well I have bid on a couple of 9-5s on eBay but lost both. I'm tempted by that one you found CFB and also another I've spotted in Essex.

I just can't find another fast turbo saloon in sensible budget.

Volvo 850 T5?

The 850 is a bit too old for me. Possibly an S70, although its the same car...it is a bit more rounded..

You, along with that car, should be taken out back and shot!

    I tend to agree, but it does meet the brief :giggle:

    Well maybe not the fast bit?
