    Fair play to you....

    I don't do expensive cars.... waste of money... target for police and any other sad ******!

    I like the idea of being able to afford any car in the clients car park (and better) but drive an aged Mondeo.

    I have just bought a 1990 BMW 518i.

    Full service history, immaculate with great stereo and 4 new tyres (12 Months MOT and 4 months tax) for £750.

    Such a comfortable Motorway cruiser and a real head turner.

    Gems are out there if your willing to look.......
    Head turner? Perhaps they can't believe you are driving such a POS?
    and you paid £750!!!

    That's not bad at all. The only 518 I drove really got a thirst on above 70-ish.

    The official MPG of mine is 23

    I usually get 25mpg out of it

    If i'm driving carefully then 30mpg is possible

    Tailgating trucks and sticking to 56mph on the motorway I once got over 36mpg on a long trip
