sister is 31 and shes finally looking to get rid of her nasty 306
She has a budget of £25k and as she does barely any miles it doesnt have to be sensible. so long as its no older than 3 years.
She has already considered :
Mustang GT500
M3 CSL
Alfa Brera
Audi A5(3.0TDi)
Hummer H2 (seriously, she loves those things)
Can you please help cos she has given me the lucky task of finalizing a list for her.. Her only criteria is. £25k, 2006 or newer, goes fast, looks cool and isnt too long/big (which made me laugh because she loves Hummers  )
any idea please peeps

I said about the VXR8 but i think its too big for her..
the Merc CL or SL jobbies are a good call

M3 CSL would (i presume) just be a massive waste of a proper car. Apologies if your sister is Michèle Mouton

I've just been brought up to save for something you want (with the exception of a mortgage). If you can't afford it, then don't buy it yet.
By the time you can afford it, something better will have come along, or what you wanted will be cheaper.

i don't understnad why people have problems with finance.
if you have a secure job and get a good interest rate then theres no problem with it.
i can afford to pay my car off every month with plenty to spare, doesn't mean i can't afford it, just means i pay it off each month rather than in one full go.
