Do you feel lucky, punk

I bought this car three months ago with a view to refurbish and use as a weekend car. (until I started reading about how much the parts were)

I have however not had time to do any work on the car and as a result have decided to sell.(because a mechanic looked at it and I shat myself)

The car has an issue with the gearbox and it occasionally jolts when changing gear. (which is why it's cheap)

The previous owner had the car for two years and drove it around with this issue (until he found a victim)

I was planning to have the gearbox reconditioned (until I found out how much it would cost)

however I no longer have time to attend to this matter. (because I'm looking for a new victim)

The engine is smooth and pulls strongly. (once the gearbox stops juddering)

The car is currently SORN ( because I'm scared it's going to **** up completely)7555675557

16k leaves 19k to fix it when it breaks

Or
£12750 , pay somebody to drive you round with the rest for added importance
Full bentley history so nothing to fix

Wrong models! And years. And, well, ****!

Not even for £2750 :D

Ummm. No. Took some thought, though.

For the full on LOOK AT MEEEEE Experience

Slightly over budget but comes with the potential for a bit of weekend work, especially in Essex, Chantelle and Luke will be all over it

The fake tan would be a nightmare in that light interior.

I actually like that! Christ the depreciation must have been almost audible! I wonder if it still has the brolly.

I was going to suggest the cars id be looking at if i had 35k.....it wouldn’t be the ones you listed as i feel for that money you will get the earlier examples of those models barring the GTS....

Alfa Giulia QV
Alfa 4C
BMW M4
BMW M6
Or a completely left field choice....spend 20k on a 35d engine BMW, in either saloon/coupe/convert, these will get you 45mpg and can have 400bhp and 700 trq with a little help
