Aldin is 25 and is studying. Call for advice is not a studentenauto, but to make a nice bowl for when he is about five years lawyer. The budget: between 10 and 25 mille.
Ambition we can Aldin not deny, the 25-year-old student wrote in his mail that he within five years, an lawyer will be in contract law (including bold text), so that we but for the truth. Aldin expected in addition, within five years, 10 to 25 mille together have saved up to piece save on a nice car. Although he shows a lot of everyday cars fun to find them all a bit more exciting, says the lawyer-to-be. Here are the list of requirements.
– Not everyday, but exotic car
– No two-seater, but a four – or proceed
– Purchase price between €10.000 and €25.000,- second-hand
– Maintenance and driving should be not too much cost
– Not older than the year 1990
– For the above purchase price must he under 100,000 miles have
– Should not be a slow bake, but do not need 400 often to have
– Must have not known many to have problems (with the engine, electronics, or whatever)
Aldin has been some homework done and indicates that a Maserati Quattroporte from ca. 2005 to the above-mentioned requirements. Let’s just start with the biggest disappointment: that does a Quattroporte certainly not. Because most garages are not able enough to the delicate Ferrari-block to tinker with, is recommended for maintenance to a dealer or Maserati specialist. A major service should be every 20,000 km or every year to run and costs in the most favourable case of 1,000 euro, but can quickly add up to 6,000 euros if you are also tapes and a timing belt needs to be replaced.
Happy Bimmers
Fortunately Aldin, in his early years, grew up in Munich, also a weak to have for BMW’s. Now where talking. Since we suspect that Aldin of large cars, is a BMW 7 Series with the E65 Class for the hand. Especially in Germany you have quite a choice, also with low mileage. Thus, we include a nice 730d from the end of 2007 against. White, Individual equipment and with 91.000 miles on the clock for a small 20 mille. With 231 hp in the 730d, no strepentrekker, but the block is considered reliable, the maintenance costs are for a car in this segment is reasonable and the offer in Germany is huge. In five years, will also be the F01 to be within the range come to and then the 740d a fine, smooth diesel.
The rinse thick 5 Series of the current generation (F10) for less than 25 mille is still a little thin, but you can assume that this is about five years, however, will be. To 5 Series from the Class E60 no lack in both Dutch and German verkoopsites. The fine 535d (286 hp) of the previous generation is still to be found, though the supply of this thick, diesel, with low mileage and logically not too large. The 535d (313 hp) of the current generation is an even finer car and certainly one of the cars that I have on my shortlist. Less striking and distinctive than a Seven, stimmt, unless you have a number of years, a nice 5-Series GT can find of course… BMW X6 is even more prominent, but even more smaakgevoeliger.
Alternatives of o.a. Ingolstadt, Stuttgart and Coventry
The list of fat Germans is almost too long to mention. Stand out do you with a thick decorated Mercedes CLS, its rival the Audi A7 or Porsche Panamera. We do not dare to promise that that last five years within the budget, by the way, the cheapest Panamera’s in your own country, do currently already quickly 50 mille. Cayenne’s are there in abundance, but which are also much less distinctive.
Stand out do you in a nice Jaguar XJR, especially if you make the correct wheels under lays. Of the current is Slightly smaller, but no less tasty is the XFR, with a delicious 5.0 supercharged V8. Or the still brutere XFR-S about five years within the budget, remains to be seen. The contrast with the Fisker Karma can hardly be greater, this does it with only four cylinders, but gets help from an electric motor. The four-cylinder turbo may just when GM is coming from, the supply of the Karma can be problematic. With the relaunch of the brand under the name Elux, seems that problem is soon a thing of the past, to hear. A more noticeable ‘responsible’ car, you go in any case not find.
You do not want to drain on maintenance, then it is by the bracket taken to be wise to the fast boys of AMG, Quattro, or M links are. That also applies to twaalfcilinders and for the exclusive Italian stuff. Write off do you do anyway, but this lets you limit by choosing a reasonably popular youngtimer and this neatly maintained.
No car cheaper?
And another thing… Aldin gives to prefer now a number of years without a car, and then about five years the cosy. Financially, however, it may not be so very unwise to look for a cheap biscuit tin. The insurance premium of such a thick German (or Brit) is anything but cheap, especially if you have zero claim-free years have built up. Play with an online verzekeringsvergelijker and then figure out what the difference in cost is between no or 4 a 5 claim-free years can still best even bother.
