How many people had to keep pausing the video to scour Autotrader for what they were discussing?

Every time I watch your videos I spend my evening afterwards looking at GranTurismos 😂 When I finally pull the trigger I’ll be back complaining about bills..!

At the £50,000 mark I would go for the Lexus Lc 500, great value, going with the type of care Lexus provide even if the car is bought from a private seller makes it worth it, I love the idea that I can buy it and have peace of mind. Its a little bit wild with some mild and sensible thrown in..

Before the boys start; here are my choices. I love my 2+2 GTs so that's what I'm looking for. Sub-£10k: 08 BMW 650i (Because that's what I own). Not the most sensible choice as they do need lots of TLC to be reliable, but you can't go wrong with a subtle but unmistakable V8 purr or a 2nd Gen 640d as the sensible choice. My other option is an Audi TTS or a 2nd Gen TT with the V6. I've developed a thing for the E46 330ci Clubsport. £10-£20k: Porsche 996 Carrera 4, because why say no to the chance of having a 911, or Jaguar XK, I want to say a mint, low mileage 4.2 but would probably end up with a XKR. Slightly silly option: either a Honda Integra Type-R or Mitsubishi 3000GT/GTO £20-£50k: Easy: Lexus LC500 V8, in red with the tan interior, because that is absolutely gorgeous and would be a dream car for me. The not sensible option would be a V12 DB7, because that is aging beautifully.

I bought a Kia Stinger in black with red interior over a bmw coupe, best choice I ever made

This is a great idea and format

The V8 in the LS400 is an automotive masterpiece. The early ‘thick rod’ engines are used by drift cars and hot rods all around the world. They’ve got 6 bolt mains and the aluminium blocks are light. Whilst low power in standard n/a format, they are good for up to 1000bhp. I’ve just bought one to go in my 89 Hilux 😊. Awesome format and great fun to watch keep it coming!

Love the little nod to the zx spectrum 😂

Hi Ben I had a friend that had a new rs6 estate that had a fuel starvation problem while on the autobahn, the engine let go and the bill came back at over 70 k .thank fudge he had taken out extended warranty

My only concern with the lexus you showed at £8k was 6 previous owners. If they are so good i would have thought maybe fewer owners?

Love the 612 but you need the comp wheels not those star style split rims

Really enjoyable video, guys. 10k is easy as I often wonder cheap car would I buy: Jag XKR (early models), XJ '98 V12, Cayenne Turbo 2nd generation. 20 k a little harder: an M car (M4) as they give the sports-car feel for little money. Or, I would try something I know very little about to experience something new, like an Alpina. Then 50k is hardest as I don't think there is a car I would buy at this cost: Ariel Atom. Maybe an old 911. Lotus Evora. If there was no limit, I would buy again an FF, the best example available. I have one and I don't know a car I would swap it for. And if another car, a Jensen Interceptor. Pure sex on wheels.

Said it already... you bros should do a road trip together... when you have time...

Vauxhall VXR8 is a car worth thinking about.

LC500 for the win. Great content guys. Right where's Autotrader... 🤣

That is my old Kia Stinger in the video. I enjoyed that car so much, i put on a quicksilver exhaust system which wasn’t too loud but really allowed the v6 to sing under throttle, upgraded the air intakes and had a tune to 500whp it was fun. Of course i reset it back to standard when i sold it, except the exhaust system, that’s probsbly still on the car.

Great video boys ! Much better than watching these ‘electric car drag race nonsense’

Loving these videos and your channel! I'm on the hunt always for similar cars to you so it's so relatable particularly at the moment. I have a C6 corvette that I have just found out I can fit in a UK garage after clearing it so now am on the hunt for a £15k-25k semi silly car to go with it that has 4 seats (for occasional use) that I can daily. I looked at the Granturismo and I am tempted by a 4.7 MC shift but I'm scared of it doing Italian things with the electrics 🤣 Some other shouts I'm looking at that are possible: - It is possible to get a good M2 easily for £23k now which is crazy value, particularly when you consider that a 2017 model is just finishing it's boosted tax period so from this year on will be £180 a year to tax which is a bargain, same with the 2018 ones next year ect. People will also say M4 and E92 M3 but the M4 insurance is at least double what an M2 is currently and an e92 is cheaper to insure but is max tax bracket £700 odd which cancels it out, M2 pick of the bunch, N55 a reliable engine too!! -There aren't any currently up for sale really but for low to mid £20k's it's possible to get an early Evora 2+2 -I know I have the American bias because I already have a corvette but OMG American cars are a steal in the UK if you can get used to LHD. Varying reliability on these of course but you can get a dodge challenger easily under £20k and in some cases even the V8, a Camaro SS is well in budget too as is the older 5.0 V8 mustang. -C63 Coupe can be had well under £20k now, they are ruinous to run even when they work but worth a mention. - RS6 V10 can be had for £20k now if you're brave 😅😅 - Lots and lots of F types under £20k now, top end of budget high but not too high miles V6 s would be my shout they were much mroe reliable than the V8 I think. Anyway, open to hearing shouts from anyone just a few I've come across 😊

£10k 1978 Bentley T series, £20k 1972 Dodge Charger, £50k 1967 Buick Riviera, all will get around the stupid ULEZ and all will still be worth what you paid for them in a years time, not to mention that spare parts are still available for most of these old American cars and they will be not only interesting to drive but will certainly turn heads!

Already did it but was tad more than £50k...LC500 based on James reviews. Best car I've owned by far.

A mercedes cls shouting brake, you could even get the amg version i reckon. I don't know how much they are in England but in the EU you could get an amg for under 40k.

Have no idea if the particular examples I'm looking at are any good, but here goes anyways. Prices are in CAD. 17k: Safe choice would be a Volvo S60 R. Should be decently reliable, not too slow, and they look great. Pretty unique cars too. They come quite a bit under budget, so there is extra money for repairs. Risky choice is a 2007 XJR, pretty self explanatory. 34k: Safe choice is pretty clearly a Corvette, but I'm really torn between the C5 Z06 and the regular C6. Tough choice, but C6 probably makes more sense. Risky choice is another Jag, an early second gen XJR that comes a bit under budget. Would be really tempted by a Pontiac GTO as well. 86k: First route would be the nicest 911 or Cayman I can find, would be an early 2010's Carrera or a late 2010's Cayman S/GTS So many options on the risky side, I haven't looked too much at that price bracket. A newer Vantage would be a leading option for sure.

BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe (£50k). It beats most Ferrari from 0-62 mph (3.2 sec).

You can’t compare a Kia Stinger to the Maserati Grand Turismo. That’s not apples to apples… 🤷‍♀️

The RS6 is defo the sensible dad car lol. At one point the Stinger was a possible on my shortlist for next car but ever since you did the Alfa Guilia QV a fellow commented on your channel told me they have a manual version in Switzerland.. the idea of a transmission swap has stuck in my head 😅 maybe when the Focus has had its time to shine I’ll consider getting a super saloon as the next dad car.

For £10k I would strongly consider a decent Ford Focus ST. For £20k I would think about a decent Subaru Wrx Sti or a Tesla Model S. For the price of almost £50k there are driver oriented Dad Cars that are generally speaking worth the money. For me though there isn't one that I really really want (enough for the money).

£10k - Best newer shape Jag XKR £20k - 2014 Audi RS4 £50k - BMW Z3M clown shoe OR Cayman GTS Loved this video chaps. A great colab of two top content creators!

Scaglietti is a great shout. 06 onwards are infinitely better. I’m prepping one to sell at present. Mega value in the £50k’s.

Hi Ben & James, hope your doing good. That was a cool video, I loved it.

Great vid and good car choices. Love a 612 ❤ Parents recently got a first gen continental Gt and it has been no trouble whatsoever!

Need a massive brace pill for the Bentley Ben😂 Lexus looks like a good option, looks more money than it is. Shocked at the price of the Maser, possibly ruinous though. GT86 amazing value, good to drive, no room in back. Trouble with that car is it's replacement is sooo much better, you'd constantly wish you bought that instead. Kia Stinger is a very good option, rare, looks more money than they are, reliable, all the toys included .

This evenings viewing sorted

10k Fiat Coupe LE or Plus, low mileage. 20k bmw e46 m3 50k Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. First two you won’t lose money on. Owned the Fiat and made money on it. BMW I’ve just purchased. Shouldn’t lose except for maintenance costs. Alfa? I’m guessing the depreciation curve is bottoming out at £50k won’t be so steep

Every time I try to combine wild and mild I end up with an E9x 330i

Comparing a Bentley to a Lexus; especially in terms of the interior, strikes me as the first sign of madness.

Which website were they using?

Enjoyed that. I’m literally torn right now for a 3rd car. 6k or 20k. 2+2 ideally and maybe convertible. Thoughts?!

You accidentally filtered out the newer 4.0 s63s!

And the Kia stinger would be fully loaded! Black over tan good shout

Dream-slayer! The voice of reason! AKA Darth Crater! Damn

The only sensible choice is the LS470. Otherwise, your main priority (4 children in car seats) will not work, with the possible exception of the Stinger.

You could possibly get a Jag XJ V8 for £10k

Great show, as a poor petrol head, it’s always intriguing to see how much you can stretch the pennies. Delighted too see prices fall after their covid inflated highs, the bubble well and truly deserved to be burst

Rs6 is an amazing car but have another car for when the rs6 goes missing in the middle of the night

He's been accused of being on the spectrum of nob ends

Alpina

That Ferrari 612 has been on autotrader for months. All alloy wheels are kerbed.

Talking of Subaru owners I'm sure James just bought one just before I subscribed to his channel

I live near Bradford......when you brought up the RS6.....just no, never ever!

😊

Jay-N-Emm-Esis

I like the format. Maserati is cool. For £50k, a Taycan...

For £50k..is probably consider Nissan GTR

X J R 👍😎❤️

get rid of the weedy 4 litres lol

I'm more of a 420 guy myself.

Get a lexus for the channel

I can not really agree with Jays choices. He takes the most boring alternative. Bentley is about the special feeling of all the luxury goods. Here I‘s go for a VW Pheaton or an Audi A8. The Pheaton os essentially the same plattform as the Bentley and with a V8 or a 3.2 VR6 they are not soooo far off the Bentley but a fraction of the price and what you saved on the purchase remains for the repairs that will happen anyway. Lexus ist a tad to exotic yet even more boring than the VW, R36 is another class. Maserati - the Toyota was so far off, I was about to turn off, the Stinger is a lot closer. From an italian V8 to a japanese 4-cylinder of one of the most boring car manufacturers ever. I‘d recommend a Jag or an older E92 335i or even a Corvette C5/C6. For the Ferrari… Benz is boring and can not compete with the feeling of the Ferrari. M850i if you manage to find a cheap used one comes a lot closer. Yet I‘d go for a DB9.2 or Virage or for a good condition Maserati Gran Turismo and save the rest for repairs. Audi 1st gen R8 V10

That aint cars but endless moneypits who are useless! Uk prices are abnormal cheap comparison with the Netherlands (are times 2/3/4).

Cars that only KZfaqrs can afford to buy let alone run! Unsubscribing to both of you as you've lost touch with the normal guy out there! Im done!
