Great to see it didn't break the bank too much :) I ran a 4200 for a while and it was so much better than I ever expected, and certainly far better than the internet would lead you to believe. Best of luck on your KZbin journey. Matt

[@Fc-cb3tn]

If it makes you feel any better, my father recently thought about scrapping his e39 528i that he’s had for 25 years and replace it with a Chinese EV of all things (horrible fuel prices, tax exemption “coincidentally” only for Chinese EVs), the car’s AC immediately decided to stop producing cold air so it could cook us in a 35 degree city. These cars really do have a soul and get mad if you try to replace them especially with garbage.

[@dadcars]

Yep I do feel like they know…

[@harveytr7106]

It wasn’t leaking, it was just marking its territory. What a bittersweet video and you seemed genuinely down in the intro. Keep your head up: something great will pop up in the classifieds shortly, I’m sure. And in the meantime if you ever want an F31 335D Touring or a V8V Roadster for some random content then hmu.

[@craigmoy5428]

Owned a Maserati 4304V the last of the biturbo era, but with the Ghibli motor, diff cooler, getrag manual etc.... Owned it 4 years and only thing that broke was a passenger door handle pin broke when someone pulled up at the same time the central locking was unlocking. Thing was a weapon with some light tuning and a free flowing exhaust.

[@dadcars]

Awesome I’d love to drive one of those era masers 👌

[@rickruberti5214]

Wtf is with those shorts? Great video though. I can send a couple pair from the USA if things are tight over there. I have an 82,000 mile Gran Turismo cab, my second, and I love them. I’ve had a couple of QP’s as well (2006 and 2014), and never any major repairs. I did need an outer tie rod on my GT and the dealer said they are not serviceable, had to buy a complete rack. After a short search I purchased a tie 😮 rod online for $26. I am a used car dealer, and the only one in my area that has the balls to sell them around here (40 miles west of Boston). Please don’t tell anyone how cheap they are to run. I like that their terrible reputation (unfounded as it is) keeps them very inexpensive to buy. I have 2003 sl55 AMG with 493hp that I nearly never drive because the Maserati is just so much more satisfying.

[@A2KLAU]

Our whole life revolves around creating memories. When she was happy that it was a subsciber who bought the car. It was as if the farewell was not so bad, because someone with whom there is a personal connection will be happy. It is always nice to see how children, no matter how old, do not necessarily have to grasp complex topics completely in order to understand the emotional attitude behind them.

[@dadcars]

Yeah it’s fascinating the things they come out with, that “why do you like cars” question wasn’t planned she just came out with it and my answer wasn’t planned either.

[@f.d.robben159]

@@dadcars even after seven children, I never felt fully prepared for every challenge. The willingness to remain open to really everything and also to master the limits of what can be explained (together with the children) are all small life aids for later. You don't always have to explain everything perfectly. Describing the train of thought is like a Sunday walk, because the journey is the destination.

Glad that your Masarati had a mostly happy ending. Sorry that you're a bit skint right now, but if it keeps you from buying an E60 M5, than I'd say it's a good thing,. I'd recommend a Jaguar XF. You can get a great example for 10,000 quid and it's a blast to drive and no worse in reliability than a Masarati for a sorted example.

A few interesting Jags spring to mind: XKR, S Type R or even XF SV8.

[@bunglehaze]

I bought myself a stunning, high spec, low miles and well looked after Ghibli a couple of months ago as my daily too. I've also had my fair share of comments about it will break my bank and be a money pit but I bought it anyway. Why? Because that driving character, engine and exhaust note , and after a Jag and a couple of BMWs I just didn't feel like anything else spoke to me. Currently doing 700 to 1200 miles a month full of big smiles and I couldn't be happier to see it keep roaring on every time I go to the school run,supermarket, tip run etc. Yes it's a concern if anything goes wrong and yes my petrol bill has headed swiftly north 😅 But so very worth it. Good luck with your next pick Ben, and I sincerely hope that more views start helping you climb from affordable to aspirational again.

[@awild10]

Glad its found a new owner who appreciates it for what it is and will hopefully get lots of use and enjoyment out of it. As for a replacement theres so much fun to be had for 10k. Quick look on AT shows a few Continental GTs in budget but theu might make the cost of the channel the least of your financial worries! Theres a few Jaguar XFRs in budget. Could be worth a look. Theres one for 9k just up the road from you in Eastleigh

[@dadcars]

[@stef1833]

Have a look at imports, so much better spec than anything we get and more often than not low miles and cherished. I've a 1of300 Toyota Crown Athlete VX, which is a bit of a weapon but a luxury cruiser too. The newer version of Crown they do a supercharged TOMS version. You can pick them up for less than £15k, big power too.

[@dadcars]

Id love to review a crown 👌😎

[@deaks25]

Sad to see the Dad-erati go, absolutely gorgeous thing. Glad the repair was not a bank-buster. I do feel for what ever car has to follow those two, a very high bar has been set. Sub-£10k, you can easily get 2nd gen BMW 650i (The infamous bangle-butt model). Yes the engine does have some publicised issues, but well-cared examples aren't as bad as the reputation says (I've owned my '08 650i since 2022), the engine is a diva so missed or poor maintenance is usually the root cause and mine has been a joy. The flip side is it's pretty punchy with 370 bhp, surprisingly good on fuel and deceptively practical. And Multimac do list the car as being able to fit their seat units. It's absolutely not an Aston or a Maserati but I think they're great cars, although that may be owner bias (Cue endless comments telling me how I'm wrong... 😋)

[@dadcars]

I would absolutely love a big engined BMW!

[@Metro6am]

These are under 5k all day on the Facebook group! Great looking cars

[@deaks25]

@@Metro6am At those prices, when it comes to the V8’s, there’s a chance it’s one that’s been neglected or has issues. The engine can suffer with valve stem seal issues that are quite expensive on labour to repair so it’s a model that absolutely worth paying more. The 630i can be a proper bargain though.

[@Metro6am]

@@deaks25 i paid 3.5 for my 630i, lovely car! I did see a sorted 650i go up for 5k the other day on the 6series group. Stem seals done. Values on these kind of cars are pretty low

[@deaks25]

@@Metro6am The 630i is a safe bet for a bargain, but knowing the 650i and the issues it can have, I don’t recommend the bottom of the market. A nice 630i is going to be a better time than a ropey 645 or 650. The N62 is just too fussy an engine. Obviously there are genuine bargains to be had, but they’re a risk. And I say this as someone who does love my 650i and the N62, even with its flaws, because It is a lovely engine when it’s good. Tbh, the pick of the range is arguably the 635d; can easily be tuned to out pace the V8’s, utterly bullet proof and lots of mpg’s.

How about a Jaguar XE-S with the supercharged V6 for your next car? They tend to be around the £15k mark but higher mileage ones are a little over £10k. You might be able to get a good deal on one. Plus, who doesn't love a Jaaaaag.

[@davidpiatto8175]

So much for high mileage Italian cars being unreliable eh. What a gem of a car. Feel your pain having to sell it so my proposal for a sub £10k replacement has to be an Alfa with a V6 Busso. GT or maybe a 156 GTA. Go on!!! 😀

Quick Look on AT - for sub-£10k you can still get a really nice X300(?) Jag XJR; 4 litre supercharged V8 and in my eyes they look far nicer than the later aluminium bodied ones. For provenance, my dad had one many years ago and both me, my brother and all of our mates used to continually beg him to take us out in it.

You need a Mercedes E Class Convertible in your life: 1. Usable Convertible with kids as has built in wind deflectors so don't lose back seats when doing motorway speeds. This is unique and makes it the only true family convertible 2. Fast, eg e350d can do about 0-60 in 6 secs 3. Economical - 45 to 50mpg possible on motorway 4. Parts cheap due to e class taxis now being scrapped. Don't need specialist mechanic. 5. Reliable 6. Air scarf means that you can drive it top down even when snowy 7. Silly cheap for what were described as poor man's Bentley when they came out. You'll get a good 2012 for well below £10k.

Ah Ben, good that the channel is going well, Why not risk it all and buy a sub ten grand Bentley Continental?😉😆 Go on. PS. I'm still enjoying putting some miles on my DB9. You are partly to blame! Lol. Good luck 👍👏👏👏♥️

[@dadcars]

You’re speaking my language 🙌😎

[@wilbo5457]

Could you not get an earlier XJ Supersport for sub 10K Ben? 🤔

[@dadcars]

Well I’ve seen them up for low teens so there is a possibility! I’m sure PX would be 10k or even less if someone traded one in

[@benzinapaul7416]

The reason why used Maseratis are so cheap is the stupidly high parts prices, they really need to introduce a parts discount for older cars, I know many parts are shared with other makes but some are unique such as suspension components etc which are ridiculously expensive.

You’ve found a great garage fella. 👍

[@dadcars]

Yep they are amazing! Feel very safe in their hands

[@MARTINA-gc3tq]

What is F1 fluid?

[@marklawrence2417]

How about C205 CL55 Kompressor?

[@Metro6am]

I think you should pick up something that can be tuned. Better for content. I don’t think the kids are that into old school grand tourers. There are a few sorted 5.0 Range Rovers for under 10k…

[@dadcars]

One of mine cried when we sold the DB9!

[@Metro6am]

@@dadcars soz I meant younger viewers!

[@jujujonbitcoinisplanbcrypt9618]

Always sad selling a good car but always fun hunting for a new one……sun £10k I would be looking at a Alfa gtv limited edition cup or a Porsche 911 early 996, both 4 seaters 👌

[@dadcars]

If I got offered a decent manual 996 for 10k I’d be interested 🙌

[@neilross6227]

how about alfa 159 3.2 V6 Q4??

[@dadcars]

I’d love to try one!

[@russellbird7543]

@dadcars sorry to report but the car is currently listed as a Cat B write off on Copart

[@wilbo5457]

Sounds like a plan Ben, I'll be watchin! 😉

[@dadcars]

🙌😎

[@johngleadall8263]

I wouldn't have bought an aston the maintenance costs parts cost dealerships will rip you off.

[@lexisyeah]

You perfectly captured the emotion when you’re selling a well-loved car.

[@dadcars]

🥹🙏

[@Csongi-g8i]

Lexus RC or MB CLS350 V6 or E400 V6 are some interesting cars you may get around 10000

[@dadcars]

🤙😎

[@woodrimcars2324]

Freedom that's what it's all about and even better in a Special Car.

[@grayfool]

What can be more exciting than an Avantime?

[@dadcars]
