Rite i took the cupra in part ex to get rid of the Beemer but not really me as like something a little smarter and prestigious.

Option 1 - Been in contact with the guy who bought my old 350z as he has it up forsale, made him an offer but he wants a little more. Can afford to get it before i sale the cupra just tho.

Option 2 - My uncle is selling his 03 325i sport Convertible which has 20K on and i know its been looked after, a damn nice car for a good price.

Option 3 - I really want a 996, but at 24 im not sure if its a bit to much, found a nice one for £19.5K but that would be stretching my budget and hope they give me a good price on the leon.

Option 4 - Any other ideas

Buy back the 350, then wait another year 'til you're 25, then get the Porka.

No my cuppa either really.

Think the 350z makes the best sense, also still has 6 months warranty remaining.

350z seems to make more sense, youve already owned the car so you know it, also has the warranty as mentioned.

i mean when people look at it they'd think ''oh look boy racer'' because they don't have a clue about the car.

350z doesn't really say that to me when i look at one really.

Skyline will be costly to run.

Got a friend with a 19" Snitchzer (?sp) alloyed 330 BMW if your interested. About £10k.

Cost to run isnt really an issue as have a new job which is 4 miles from home so getting a push bike.

Thanks Daimo but if i was to get another 3 series it would be the one above as know how good it is and would be getting family discounted price

Roughly translated to - Cost to run isn't an issue as it will be sold shortly at a profit.

The 350Z look better than that 996 IMO. 996 cabs look rubbish.
