After careful consideration, I've decided to donate mine to TripleS as he's overdue a new car. There's no way I could contemplate owning a ten year old car.

I haven't bought a used car since about 1989. I may have to one day, but I may decide it's better to walk.

Yes, because Alex and I got 13 mpg out of it in an afternoon (over 3/4 of a tank)
For me, a 991 Turbo S if I don't get to keep the cash on resale in 10 years time, 996 Turbo if I get to keep the cash on resale.
Check this 991 Turbo S' time around Anglesey - http://youtu.be/Uv8z7inZKpU

(Just don't ask about petrol or tyres...). Actually, thinking about it, given the mileage I've now done in it, the 306 is even cheaper per mile (bought 18 months ago for just over £1k and it's done 15k miles since then).

It's a very good question.
When I'm buying a car I'm always having to compromise and wishing I could get a higher spec or bigger model or some expensive option. With unlimited resources, I'm a bit stumped. It would probably be better if someone said I could spend twice as much on my next car.

Alpina blue please with one of Alpina's "classic" (read questionable) two tone leather interiors.

How do you choose between that and a pure BMW offering?
