I was on the Clarkson cars website recommending them to someone, cut and paste your web address, then decided to have a quick peruse through their used car inventory. The silver 911 I fell in love with, but the thing that blew my mind was the Bentley Continental GT for $29k.....WHAT?!!??!?! You can buy a W12 Bentley with 60k km for less than a well equipped feckin Kyundai, just...what!?!?!? Now I know it would be financially ruinous, but man, what a fantastic month long tryst you could have with that car before something broke that was worth more than than the entire province of PEI.

I wonder how reliable or unreliable those are. 2004 is the first year of production so might be one to generally avoid but who knows.

If you really want to pretend to be wealthy I’d bet most people would easily think that’s still a six figure car. Probably would make a great occasional cruiser on nice days.

I bet the M2 currently listed for sale at Clarkson belonged to Thomas from Throttle House?

What do the forum MG owners think of this?

I like it! Most power, 5spd gearbox and an attractive engine.

Yeah, I like it, looks like a clean tidy swap under the hood too. Missing the heater box though, not sure why as it doesn't look like it would interfere with the motor...I'd kinda want to have heat if I had such a car.

I’d completely forgotten these existed, doesn’t seem to be a bad price if it’s as clean as it looks

A one-of-a-kind Dakar Yellow E39 M3 with 633 miles on it for a mere $280k USD.  :o

https://www.thedrive.com/news/a-dealer-is-holding-this-633-mile-dakar-yellow-e39-bmw-m5-hostage-for-280k



Dunno if anyone listens to Spike's Car Radio, but last week they were talking about this car. This week they announced that Zuckerman, one of the hosts, was buying it. Said he paid well under $280k. He bought a 2000 M5 brand new as his first fun car when he started making money and said this was the only way to relive that experience. Funny enough he already has a white E39 M5.

Will look great next to his other yellow BMW that he recently acquired: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-9K8OcJoST/

Cute...and only 100 hp...will it fall apart if it had more?  That'd be one 1.8l that'd be ripe for an old Matrix/Vibe 180 horsie 1.8l swap.

Bought this some time ago as a project. I don't want to plow around it again this year. 2004 Porsche Cayenne S loaded. Doesn't start. Repaired some wires and replaced the starter, rolls over but doesn't start. After some wasted time and money I pushed it outside in a fit of rage....Fast forward to today,  I haven't touched it and don't intend to.  This static kraut can is worth thousands in parts, I don't have the time to part it out. Listed price is what I have in it, don't offer lower.  6 piston brembos on the front 4 pistons on the rear...come and get her before the earth reclaim it.

^ Seems like the perfect project for blur  ;D
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
