Suggests itself Eelco as a nearly-dad a Volvo V70 R or a Saab 9-5 Aero. He would be a older RS6 want but that are unlikely to be feasible within its budget. We have seen the annual mileage the diesels are not to be included in the search. Mercedes has something nice in this price segment and also at Alfa, we would a GTA can go shopping, but that are no-go brands for Eelco. From your RS6-preferably you would also have to take a step back can do to a S6 or S4, then you have quite some choice and still a thick number of horsepower from a V8 under the hood.
Scandinavian stations are of course way cooler than Germans. Check in the 9-5 Aero, however, good, or no Black Sludge-issues (see this video for details). A 9-3 Aero 2.8 V6 with factory-Hirsch tuning to 275+ hp can be fun, much more sleeper than that it is almost impossible not to.
Some Volvo a V70 R is an option you would give, but the V50 T5 you could also consider. Which is slightly less old-fashioned in form and in the base you have the same 5-cylinder in the Ford Focus RS. There is more space than a V70, but the difference is not huge.
Another option (if you’re German is considering) is probably a fine product from BMW. Now, you could go for a 330i or something like that but that are often rundown and actually not so special. Alpina is. Maybe that’s a bit more complicated to shop, but a Alpina B3 (e46) comes within this budget even beyond. Narrow your search in this case, however, not to the Netherlands, in Germany there is more choice. The more powerful e46 3-series have the burden of uitscheurende rear subframes so check whether you have a pure copy.
A other BMW suggestion here on the editorial staff was a e61 550i Touring. For instance, within your budget, you however with a large number of miles to get. Here also applies that you are over the border a lot more choice. Have to take into account the rest-BPM, that can be a nice damper on this type of car.
A car that you really toptoestand (and with youngtimerstatus) would be able to purchase the Volkswagen Passat W8. That are eight cylinders and 275 hp for the bottom of your budget. You have pretty a couple of thousand euros tankgeld about, for sure that W8 a sip of lust. The only downside is that you then really with a lot of older cars on the road.
#YOLO-advice , Wouter. That is also daddy and rides, nevertheless, for quite a while with an Audi TT. “Ideal family car t/m 1 child, and if the incubator does not have” I think he was trying to say that you are not too much need to be guided by anyone who calls that you need a space with a baby, you can always have your girlfriend / wife left at home… or something like that.
Where them drive?
The most underrated drive (and thus most “sleeper”) from this article is perhaps your own suggestion: the Saab 9-5 Aero. If you like the Dame Edna (chrome edges around the headlamps) does not pull, try an Aero of model year 2005 (also available in 2004) to score. Mine is not for sale, sorry. With Hirsch goodies is such a 9-5 absolutely delicious, by the way. A lot of 9-5’s are equipped with it, and it makes a Aero really is still a blow to be better. Must be the fact German, go and visit proefrijden with an Alpina.
