Cars .....

hey all AGAIN!!!
Just thought of something else. I want to sell my car, and get a nice newer one, but wanted peoples advice. I have in the region of 3k to spend, but am not sure what i want. Ive always liked the newer shaped BMW's but really dont know.

Any one any suggestions? Jus want something a bit flashy really!!
Cheers
I've just started entering the competitions (July 07). When I win I'll update this signature. Look on the bright side, I shouldn't have to update it very often.

    How much will you have after selling your car? I think the new shaped bmw start in the region of 8k, Ci models. I would love one myself but cannot afford it. Go for the bmw, even the old iS model is what i'd say if you want quality and image.

    Not sure what you're driving just now - but £3k gets some well spec highish mileage fleet cars, in auction.

    So you'll have 1 owner, reasonably well maintained choices.

    As Savvy Sue says, check Honest John - but clicik in AuctionViw link on his site - you'll see whats available in the sales.A realativly small fee is made, in that link, 'cos it goes to BritishCarAuctions site.
