This is me. I'd love a car with a bit of personality and charm, and an E39 is high up on my lust, but I'm just not the kind of person that looks after a car. Mechanically I make sure everything's fine, but I can't be bothered washing it regularly nor cleaning it out. This made me feeling constantly guilty when I had the w124 as it was in great nick when I bought it, and less great when I sold it. The Saab is better for my conscious, but also dull. I managed to reverse it into our other car the other day, and it barely bothered me, which was a good feeling.

As I said before. I’d love to buy it, but I’d ruin it. Since buying Mikey 5000’s E39 it’s got a scratch on every panel, my wife has fucked the rear bumper because she doesn’t understand the concept of lifting things out of the boot, and it’s still got mud on the INSIDE of the door from when we went mtbing a couple of weeks ago.
In the last month 2 wings have been fucked by cunty hit and run drivers while the MX5 has been parked outside my flat.
In the space of 6 months my 10k “investment” would be worth no more than £2.5k
I can’t afford that sort of depreciation nor do I want to subject such a sorted car to such treatment.
