You want a hug?

Some people have money, no point being bitter, jealousy will eat you up. Doesn't matter if he had £350 or £350000 to spend on a car. In the grand scheme of things, £35000 isn't that much money.

If your travelling a lot you would want comfort a 5 series luxury spec might be ideal.

If it was my £35k I'd be looking at a Jag XK-R or XF-R if you need the 4 doors.


What about a Bentley or an E63 AMG?

I'd not spend that much on a car - because you can't take it out anywhere, nor park it, nor ever leave it, because some far-quit would bash into it or something.

Of course you can, I did 40,000 miles in the two and a bit years that I owned my £35K car (bought at a time when I was rather more cash rich than I have been since then), although I did rent a garage so that I didn't have to park it on the rather narrow street where I lived.

I think that 95% of the population would think it is a lot of money to spend on a car.

Probably a really nice S1 Landy.
A careful buy would leave a decent amount of change.
Certainly not any of the (boring IMHO) Euro "prestige" saloons.
Although I might consider an older Porsche.

I'd add a couple of grand and buy a new Ford Mustang but the V8 one. Given how the demand for them is still higher than production you could sell it in a year or two and get almost all your money back. Those who were lucky enough to get the first ones even made money when they came to sell.

I'd buy a boomerang rear light Maserati 3200GT, personally. Unreliable piece of badly built Italian crap, but they look and sound awesome.

Looking at Autotrader suggests you could possibly get three of them for your £35k. That would give you a better than even chance of having at least one working all the time.

Therein lies the problem, I was looking at the BMW website the other day & it said I could get the car in grey, sparkly grey, a different grey, dark grey, very dark grey (black), light grey, very light grey (white), sparkly very light grey, cack brown or blue. Where have all the colours gone?
