What Are the Best Cars for £50K? | TheCarGuys.tv

[@lknight5579]

M135i is front wheel drive biased X drive system, I think.

[@LawrenceTimme]

Indeed ☠️☠️☠️

[@make.oxtail.cheap.again1]

Terrible car the older m140i is better

[@jamesmksmith]

Correct

[@benpenagonzales6014]

Yep. BMW x1 and mini countryman.

[@DIRK_RUENZ]

The Porsche 996 turbo has the 3.6 liter Metzger engine which does not have any issues at all. It’s the engines in the standard 996 that may have issues.

[@MrDead1975]

don't the pipes blow off with the fix being getting them welded on?

[@zakelwe]

Good point. To be pedantic it is Mezger not Metzger.

[@institutmorningkiss]

E21 Alpina B6 2.8... ohhh yes ! That's value for money. Such a special and usable car. ❤

[@davetomley3145]

Love these episodes. Not sure what Jason was smoking for a few of those, but he balanced it with some sensible suggestions just to reinforce that he was definitely smoking something. I too forgot that Lexus existed. Now which sofa has £50k down the back of it 🤔

[@targaflorio3239]

Great banter! Love it. Always great when you bounce off each other. Winners for mine : the Alfa Giulia QV and the Aston Vantage. Both beautiful things with amazing presence imo.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Good choice!

[@23Piccolina]

Definately agree with the Giulia, the M5 and the Aston Martin.

[@Theekylesmith178]

I used to have a 2002 996 turbo back in 2008. I had it 2 years and sold it for £27k with only 30k miles on it.

[@markupton3297]

400i is awesome. Love them. Well picked Jason.

[@Hali88]

The current 135i is AWD I believe, as most of the the current 1 series cars are FWD

[@lonewarrior1543]

always give u guys a thumbs up...before i watch the video..no PC has got me..keep it up guys

[@TheCarGuysTV]

You rock!

[@garethmcrae668]

Loving the banter chaps. Mibbe refer to us viewers as "you" not "they" just to keep us feeling like we are in the room. Subscribed.

[@cobbyclan3466]

Best car - the Sunbeam Alpine, immortalised by Grace Kelly, nice one Jason.

[@davidw5662]

Thank you for a great entertaining video. A test of the LC500 would good.

[@tajinderpanesar7721]

Very entertaining well done lads, my pick would be the black Alfa, E21 and the Nobel or the 996

[@MiniMinuteMoney]

I respect that, recognising the diversity of your audience and aiming content accordingly, good work gentlemen.

[@nmajer4152]

£38K for a mini tho. Also the merch. Surprised at the lack of a ‘winky fizzage’ item 😂

[@joaquinjavaloyesruiz8040]

Jason choices were extravagant

[@mh2177]

No problem with the jeans on cream leather, required trouserwear for that type of car is beige comfortable slacks

[@richardcarter1000]

Excellent. Noble a good shout. I'd get a Rolls Corniche so I could burn as much fuel as possible and annoy all the climate loons when I go to Sainsbury's

[@majesticjavelin9393]

Ohh some great choices! The LC500 and Giulia QV would be tough to pick between the two. I'm a big Alfa Romeo fan, the Giulia QV is the modern dream, but my favourite car of all time is the LFA.

[@jamesbf2308]

Is the M135i rear wheel drive? Not sure it is.

[@mattylf1]

The Alfa for me, but that P1 might be a good buy especially given how values continue to rise . Great banter 👍

[@mjim7775]

Brilliant episode - particularly taken by the 911 turbo. Also taken by the TVR Tuscan in the background of the green Austin Healey, although as someone who got burnt dipping my toe into TVR ownership (new Chimaera 500, second car after ''why did I ever sell it???'' Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI), a shame that looking at it makes it break down!

[@hambo76]

I owned a 2002 Tuscan S for 6,000 miles with a bit of dodgy glue being the only issue. My favourite ever car.

[@zakelwe]

My list , had to limit it to 1980s or 1990s to cut down the options. Best era of course for us Gen X. 1983 ALFA ROMEO GTV2000 £26850 1984 Audi UR Quattro RHD £49995 1989 MERCEDES 190E COSWORTH 2.5 16V £29950 1988 944 turbo Silver Rose £33400 1987 Ford Capri 280 Brooklands - Turbo Technics £33950 1998 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph £46000 1997 Ferrari 456 GTA £39995 1998 BMW 840 Ci Sport £34000 1997 TVR Griffith 500 £30850 1998 Lotus Elise Series 1 £27995

[@moogsta16]

Great thinking- especially the P1 & TM evo. Totally with you- I don't like new cars, the golden age has been and gone...

[@Madira15122]

Damian your partner didn't understand the assignment... Disappointing Mr Taylor... Loved your selection Damain... Well done

[@E92M3Guy]

Great episode chaps, I will hold my hand up and say I like the Alpine, it's almost identical to the one used in Alfred Hitchcocks " To catch a thief " one of my all time favourite films driven by Grace Kelly. Please forgive me . 👍

[@theusefulchannel]

As regards Damian's list, I would go for the BMW 1M. As regards Jason's list, I'd probably go for a manual John Copper works.

[@erkkavilhunen7852]

Early LC500 and LC500h both seem to be dropping under £50k in UK. Its future classic based on its design alone. 3.5L V6 hybrid version gearbox is weirdest setup in use at any modern performance car. It has 4 speed traditional automatic and two electric motors which are used one in series and another in parallel to create virtual extra gears in between automatic forward gears. Result is one automatic mechanical gear, two electric gears, another mechanical gear, two electric gears etc. Total is 10 gears where changes feel wildly different depending if automatic or electric motor makes the change. Very weird setup. 5L V8 non hybrid version has normal 10 speed automatic.

[@prophetate]

oh yes the 996 turbo

[@orchidopus]

Surely an F type R should be on the list! Looks, noise, performance, comfort and modest running costs. Has everything.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Oh crap, another car we forgot

[@James-xv2ev]

Enjoyed that. 50k would buy you a great condition Bristol from the 40s, 50s, 50s or 70s - very underestimated cars and amongst the most expensive new cars of their day. 50k would buy you a wonderful Lancia Fulvia - particularly if you steer clear of Zagato. There is a Lancia Delta Integrale at East Lancashire Classics for £39k - very tempting! I'm also tempted by an early Marcos - a proper 60s.70s sports car for 25k, with 25k left over to pay for 5 years motoring fun and no depreciation.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Bloody great choices

[@julianadams2206]

Brilliant video, I love the varied selection of cars. The banter was hilarious especially Damien talking about making a winkie tingle. 😂 Can’t wait for the follow up videos.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stuartsmith5308]

Please do episodes - Worst Cars for 50k, 25k and 10k

[@celliott16]

Great episode, Lc500 for me out of all of that lot, but I'm afraid I'd do a swerve at the last minute and get the new type r.... Sorry 🙈

[@coopsnz1]

P1 sold at auction last yr £ 55000 . The seller doesn't know what the selling at auction

[@RickPalmer]

Great video and some brilliant choices chaps. Completely forgot about the “baby LFA”. Looking forward to the £25k & £10k(!!) videos 👍

[@nigel.w]

Enjoyable episode, with food for thought. Thanks Guys, and have a great weekend!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dragonlock12345]

Damian's face at 2:59 is priceless! xD

[@kevinhowlett4097]

BMW M635 CSi.... can be had for under £50k and appreciating.

[@kevinhowlett4097]

Oh...and W124 E500...and W201 Cosworth 2.3 or 2.5

[@sturex3084]

loved seeing some of Jason's more out there recommendations, and the Healey in particular is a great car!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cookieinthewoods]

The Sunbeam Alpine looks like something Mr Miyagi would have you waxing 😂

[@TheCarGuysTV]

😂😂

[@syedshaheelkhawar6880]

Excellent video, definitely preferred the newer cars in the list.

[@jamesgulland]

“Have you been watching too many Carry On films?” 😂😂😂

[@amospizzey1]

Please review both the LC 500 and a Stelvio Quadrofolio 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@kmac5849]

Those 1st few cars of Jason’s 🙈 Ding Dong Matron 😂

[@S2000Y]

There's one v8 lc500 at 49995,on Autotrader not the v6 which I never knew existed as an engine derivative.

[@nyc863]

has to be the v8 for lc500

[@edwardfrench6]

Ok so it looks like I’m going to be spending my Friday evening watching the CarGuys! 👍

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@edwardfrench6]

On 10/10 and Damian pulls out a Noble M12 GTO and Jason pulls out a BMW M135i 😂

[@benvan-ness1030]

Love the options of those Subarus those were absolutely gorgeous as well as the Mitsubishi Evo

[@tonyosullivan2382]

M5 as the daily and the P1 & evo for the garage 👌 Lotto tonight lads, so wish me luck 🤞 an F Type 5.0 supercharged V8 wouldn't be a bad shout.

[@johnprince5931]

Great Episode! Quintessential Car Guys! This is the stuff I love. Both of you bantering about great cars. Thanks guys, really appreciate the content.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Our pleasure!

[@Nathan.Guthrie]

How about a TVR, plenty under 50k, even some fully restored ones. I love my Tamora and its got a massive boot too.

[@Richspjones]

Bloody brilliant choices, chaps. As Skeletor would (probably) say: "White leather? You over grown alley cat! I must possesses the other keys! I must possess all, or I possess nothing! Anyone who disagrees with me, then I'll cover my throne with their hide." And if the wife was to intervene: "honest men do an honest days work, and I will destroy your village... who does that cabbage think she is?! You boob."

[@kevincockburn7805]

The Ferrari 400i has come back into fashion. Even Nicholas cage went 400i, in his latest movie.

[@lanciadeltahfintegrale913]

Also in a Daft Punk music film too!

[@leeandrews1072]

As I sit on a beach in the Caribbean, I’m watching this video and as much as I like the new cars, I love Jason’s picks of old British sports cars so beautiful 😍 I get the feeling Damian thinks they are rubbish? 😂

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jambear7862]

Cant believe you said the M135i is rear wheel drive LOL 😂

[@TheCarGuysTV]

My bad, the first 2 hens were rwd and I’m old and hadn’t taken my tablets😬😂

[@NH00531]

Great episode. I actually like Jason’s list although that Alpine is horrid. 👍

[@stuartdonald2302]

It was the Noble for me

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Good choice

[@daggidding4478]

Great episode, as always. I love the way (which is with my type of humor) you tackle the topics 😀👍

[@TheCarGuysTV]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@futureclassics6838]

Come on guys leave out the classic golf cars lol . Keep up the work . Love the chats and the general love for cars 😎😎😎

[@futureclassics6838]

A lot of good pics though guys a nice spread 🎉

[@steveberridge4648]

Some great choices but don't spend £50k on the EVO6. Spend £19995 instead on the mini Cooper S GP model in the background at Woods of Wirral. Just as quick across the ground (according to EVO magazine) and probably as much fun if not more fun as it's a Mini.....bargain IMO.

[@dariodelolmogarrido4045]

Damian is such a comedian, would love to hear him riffing on random stuff along with cars

[@sebastiaanvanderkock2892]

Damian: "Here's varity". JasonL "So here's a bunch of old British cars a grandad would drive"

[@TheCarGuysTV]

😂😂

[@padraigg9508]

Great show lads. My choices were made easy by Jason choosing everything I would not buy with a gun to my head except for the Alfa and maybe the Ferrari. The 996 Turbo, the black Alfa even though it is black and I'm washing my black Panamera every two bloody days (Ireland ya see) or the P1. They would be my choices with the P1 probably coming out on top. Make your winki fizz had me in bits🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Nord_Mann]

The car on your lists i actually would buy, is Jason’s first❤

[@martingetliffe]

When are you 2 going to get a EVO VI TME???? 😂😂😂 I’ve had 2 of the Both silver, UK cars both of them……Jason they were 33k new buddy, I can’t stress how special they are to drive……..I’ve owned 3 of you cars on the lists. Jason I wouldn’t give your first cars house room if I’m honest. This is one of my favourite videos you two have done.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@cowanscott9047]

entertaining and enjoyable as always! Given Jason's penchant for olde worlde stuff .. surprised there weren't any Morgans in there. More modern underpinnings and easier to maintain than the 50s stuff.. just an observation... and Lotus didn't make it in there either. So many cars to choose from though. The Noble was a bloody good shout though Damian! Nearly bought one of them 15 years ago..

[@TheCarGuysTV]

No way I’m buying a modern-ish car that’s still has a wooden chassis

[@cowanscott9047]

@@TheCarGuysTV There are a few Super 3's for sale below £50K.. Aluminium monocoque.. actually going to test one within the next month.. I know what you're going to say though.. It's a tricycle!!

[@fskof]

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is such an under rated car.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Agreed

[@stuartbell9391]

I love the BMW Alpine. I saw a white one in germany last summer at a autobahn tankstation. Very nice design and mechanics, a real drivers car in my opinion. I’m wondering if you guys like the Ford mustang from around 2018, especially the ecoboost 2,3l turbo. You can buy them for under 50grand…thanks for the video’s!

[@tomm6525]

I’ve been looking at cars at almost this price bracket and have just taken delivery of an F type R. As far as a ‘sense of occasion’ car goes for 50k it doesn’t get much better

[@christennant8143]

I have posted some reasonably harsh comments on previous videos but, I take them all back! In one video Damian has mentioned a P1, Evo Mak and chicane!

[@antonialeitz9179]

Great choices by both you guys, thank you.

[@coopsnz1]

2016 mercedes c63s in new Zealand $55000 in Australia $70000 , the government rips off consumers In Australia. 33% luxury car " 5% tariffs " 5% stamp duty new Zealand doesn't have that socalism for ya

[@flyinghedgehog3833]

Amazing to think RS 500 were under 50K not so long ago...classics are the way to IF you have garage/drive space.Great vid thanks.

[@ianmason3040]

What was Jason doing - I thought we were doing everyday cars, not weekend cars 🤣

[@markplayford5836]

Massively entertaining as always chaps. Has Jason retired to his Shackleton high seat with pipe and slippers after this episode?

[@gregmayled]

Some great choices. Especially the 996 Turbo.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@AutomotiveAvocation]

12:16 yellow calipers… but those are not the carbon ceramic brakes. Steel discs…

[@jameslewis1197]

Please test the LC500. Such a bargain

[@LawrenceTimme]

Nobel is a great choice. I feel like that Ferrari needs to be well under £50k as within a couple of years you'll have spent the rest of the 50k on maintenance.

[@alancrisp1582]

For myself and my money 💵. I will go with the classic vehicles, especially with out all those awful electronics. Have 👍 already made my motoring dreams come true .Buy an old-school Rolls_Royce and Bentley!..

[@jon8687]

Jasons' choices were all very interesting. Entertaining as ever you chaps rock

[@Rialas]

LC500. You want the V8 not the hybrid v6.

[@stephenrooker1941]

BRILLIANT video Damien smashed it Jason Erm alpina saved you lol.

[@garyhawkins9246]

Couldn’t Jason have swapped out at least one piece of old crap for a Lotus Evora? 😂

[@coopsnz1]

V5 Impreza coupe sti in Australia $100000 / 8 million yen in Japan under 100000km

[@wadehampton4499]

Great video and banter between the two of you. I'm not too sure about the Sunbeam Alpine convertible (did anyone notice it sported a floor change and not the awful standard column change ?) but loved the comment "When did I miss your 80th birthday" Keep it up. Oh, and I strongly agree with the choice of a John Cooper Works Mini. Perhaps not that surprising as I own one.

[@julianevans9548]

Great stuff. And bravo, Jason, for pulling out some real whackadoos.

I would love an Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio. I think they look amazing. But, it is an Alfa!

[@fatherfinney9476]

A great episode but I am shocked. Did both of you fall out of love with your GR yaris or did it have to be a car you don't already own?

[@christopherkelly577]

"Looks like a prolapse"👏

[@Andrew-ww7qq]

Terrifying to realise just how depreciated 50k has become

[@DivineFrag]

Used M2s & M4s are probably among the top ones we can get imo.

[@prophetate]

the ferrari 400 is nice, it really is :)

[@gregniewiadomski700]

I truly think you missed lotus exige v6. They are spectacular cars. Used to have bmw 1m from your list but do think lotus is far more special car. Especially when we talk LF1.

[@ianmason3040]

Used to have a M140i but a new M135i rear wheel drive? (not on the mini platform)

[@lotsofcurveslover]

Great video.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Glad you enjoyed it
