I´m just about to buy my first car, my budget is very limited and I want a classic model and a relatively exclusive car maker. So after reading and asking for every single newspaper and internet add, I´m between a volvo and a BMW.
Please give some help guys

The BMW is really great to drive, but the electronics may end up giving you headaches.

Volvo - Turbo servicing costs?? A terribly boring drive

There must be other options to consider: If fuel costs are not a major issue for you - look at 6 cylinder Mercs - even 80's models - phenominally tough engines and solid build.


Have you looked at Autotrader??

Go to car auctions too - you much touch and see and smell the cars. Difficult to assess vehicles from newspaper.
