duncs 0 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 NPM i'm with you on the BMW 7-series some are looking serious bargains right now.Looking at my list I realise just how erratic my car choices have been :-Citroen AX (tin can!)Renault 11 (busted stereo forced me to use a ghetto blaster on batteries on the passenger seat!)Rover 216 (worst buy ever, value depreciated like a stone)Peugeot 206CC (great until everyone else bought one)Toyota RAV4 (school run saddo)VW Golf 3 1.8 GL (my love of Mk 3's began here)Porsche 944 (drove like a go-cart)Porsche 928 (wheel spins at 80mph :-))VW Golf Mk 3 VR6 Link to post Share on other sites
