jellyfishfields Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Fred, that M5 looks lovely, as does the Saab from the previous page. Problem with selling something like that is, what to replace it with, do you have something in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Trying to buy a flat... Car fun is dead. It was my dream car as a kid, even more than a Porsche. Really hurts me that I have to sale it but it seats in a storage and that is the worst thing for this kind of motors. It''s hardly been moving for 3 years. I just pick up the bills for it.

Beaky Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 As a matter of interest as it’s been asked on another thread and maybe of interest to others currently selling, where/ what medium did you use to advertise the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever try a 2.5, Ian? Ive read they're not as zingy as the 2.3 but ultimately quicker, perhaps similar to SC v 3.2 argument/discussion. 1 hour ago, Beaky said: As a matter of interest as it’s been asked on another thread and maybe of interest to others currently selling, where/ what medium did you use to advertise the car? The power of IB - and a friendly IB’er tipping off another IB’er. Otherwise id try usual suspects: Car and Classic, PistonHeads, Ebay then maybe auction houses like Collecting cars, The Market etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t know at present whether I want classic motoring or something newer. Ie something that doesn’t need to be garaged, AV’d etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would I choose any E30 or Merc 190 over the E34 M5. Another very tempting ownership option would be the M5's nemesis the E500. Both awesome in their own way.

Never driven the E34 M5, spec was impressive on paper though but it would have to be really special to top an E30 M3 in the mountains with its dog leg box, specially the sport/evo models.

Mine is a 3.8 6 speed gear box (very few in the UK). E30 M3 is awesome but you are looking at 2 very different cars made for different purpose. I couldn't see myself driving an e30 after the s38b38 3.8 experience. The sound and power delivery is exhilarating! Much more presence on the road as well. 1 hour ago, ras62 said: That is stunning.

Both awesome in their own way. I was looking at E500 when I bought the M5 but the automatic gear box is a no go for me. Stunning car though.
