Looking for a new toy around 5k to spend, don't really want anything thats still losing value.
Been thinking of a 3.0 Z3 any other suggestions? Already had a Z4 and really enjoyed it but there still a bit new at the moment value wise still on the drop.

Very vague question  What are you after with your 5k? Luxury? Load lugging? Speed? Economy? 2 Door? More Door? Without some hints the suggestions are going to be all over the map. If I had 5k to spend I'd probably get a decent E39 wagon, but that's just me |

My supercharged mk1 golf cabby is in the for sale section well within budget. Ticks all the boxes for a fast,fun open top weekend toy.  |

From opposite ends of the scale, one of our lads is looking at selling his MK1 Golf Clipper Cabriolet. Would get at least £1000 change from that and it requires nothing.  Or I will shortly be looking to sell my top, top example of a highly cherished, 2-owner, FSH (every receipt from new mounting into many thousands, all books, keys, etc, fully loaded) Mercedes CL500 with all the bells and whistles, which I;d be looking at £5000 for. But in that price bracket there is no shortage of choice! |

What about a phoenix gold m3 convertible with blue leather I believe it's a manual box. Not been thrashed or mistreated also has a turtle shell roof. Think it's an e36 model. It's needing some work done to the bodywork like the wings are bubbling and stone chips on the bonnet..where abouts are you located. As the car is in Scotland.

These will soon be climbing in price, soon the rusty and abused ones will all be gone and the survivors will follow the 1st and 2nd gen cars up in price.
A decent car for the money and fairly easy to work on and spares not too expensive.
Same car as the Camaro but with different outer body panels. Pontiac was always a little rarer and more expensive.

Phase 2 Clio 172 (only buy a genuine cup car that's completely original) great fun and prices are on the up on the original ones)
BMW E30 convertible or E36 328i sport coupe all on the up now

Not sure if you can get a non turbo Porsche 944 for 5k
You could get a half tidy mini for 5k
If it was me I'd be looking at big luxury cars (you get more for your money)
