Opinions/advice £8000 budget

[tomm45]

Hi guys, I'm fairly new here so apologies if posted in the wrong place

 

In the title really , I'm lucky enough to have a budget of £8000 incl. insurance to spend on a second car.

Currently driving 1.6 zetec mk6 escort as daily

24 years old , 2 years ncb, my insurance is pretty low at full comp and other quotes have confirmed this

 

I'm looking for something fun for fast road and track use , and possible a potential investment

 

Been looking at

Mk6 fiesta st

Mk1 focus rs

Various capri's , mk2 fiestas

 

I'd love a mk1 escort but think itd be outside my budget

 

Opinions please on what you would do ?

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't buy a Ford, but I suppose the Focus RS would be a sensible purchase as it won't lose much money.

 

I'd have an M3, R32 or an S4 for that money.

If you want to invest but a 911 or a cossie

 

If you want fun fast road / track buy an mx5 with a turbo or a supercharger you'll a get a really good one for 5k

U could have a cossie for that money! But the m3 would be more reliable lol
