Casually flexing that F50 wheel 😂
I actually have a 1989 Fiat Uno Turbo that I have owned from new! It has an original 28,000 miles on the clock backed up with Mot history, full Fiat service history. And I would describe it in as new showroom condition!
Wow! 🤯
Mate you must have one of 7 left big respect 🤛🏿🥷
@@StephenEdwards-Newell it's my pride and joy and was the best purchase I ever made
There was a pukka blue one on
my manor back in the day you just don’t see them anymore 😢
@@StephenEdwards-Newell I also own a Renault 5 Turbo that I purchased when it was only 2 years old and that only has 42,000 miles on the clock from new, and I have a Renault Fuego Turbo that I got when it was only 4 years old, the 2 Renault's are Mot'd but currently sorned off the road!!! And I have a Renault 25 V6 Turbo and a Renault 18 Turbo that are both off the road as they need a lot of work to make road legal again!!!
How about a xf r 5.0. I would love one. Great chanel ben .😁👍
Great shout 👏
Yes, this! I’m currently in my JLR phase, just got rid of a RR Sport, replaced with a 3.0d V6 XF. Love it. Now thinking of what to replace my 2007 987s with….
Had my 14 year old Bentley GT nearly two years now. Spent nothing on it other than a £600 service. The soft close on the drivers door has failed but it's an Audi part and costs £15 on eBay. Maybe I've been lucky! I've had porsches, BM's. Mercs, integrales Quattros, the lot. Conti is the best car I've ever had. Would always jump in it over my new Range Rover!
That’s promising to hear!
If it was me, I would buy a 996
😎👌
We just picked up a tidy E46 M3 cabrio for £8,500, under 100k miles and unmodded, gave it a good service and has proved to be a solid buy. Reckon these are at the bottom of the depreciation curve now, would be a great dad car!
SMG?
@@dadcars Manual 👍
I was literally just scrolling looking at all the ones listed at 10-12k ish not moving and thought I bet someone will bite. Seems £8.5k is the where they are at. What platform did you find that one if you don't mind me asking? (E92,s and 996 911s defo in the same catagory rn maybe a few grand more)
@@lolmeercatz10 This one was FB marketplace, a lot of rubbish out there but this was local and completely standard, chap had taken it as a px on his Ferrari. It was fundamentally solid and worth investing in, probably owes us about £9,800 all in after putting 4 x PS4s and a good service on it, so a well sorted car at £10k would be a good buy. Peach of an engine on these.
It's actually my son's car, he was looking at Porsches, beyond the purchase price BMW bills much more affordable than Porsche ones, even from good indies (I've got a Cayman and have had 911s)!
What's going on in the UK market?! Just today I talked with a dealer who sold a very nice manual E46 with a little above 100k km for close to 50k CHF....
I’ve had a bit of ring time in an Audi RS6 V10, whilst it sounded nice the understeer is horrendous. If you want a V10 get an M6 or M5, ugly but much better drivers cars.
I think a V10 estate works perfectly though and the m5 tourings are Uber expensive! Makes the RS6 avants look like bargains
I'd probably get an M235i
I don’t like SUV too
Have a look at a Merc CL’s. Plenty of CL500’s, CL55’s and even a couple of V12 CL600’s which would be my choice… a brave one at that!
Yeah Number 27 recently got a SL500 for £500!
The C140 CL Class is worth considering. They were incredibly over-engineered compared to later CL models and make superb long-distance coupe cruisers with pillarless styling. At the moment they are still affordable, but they've been going up in value in recent years. Just make sure that everything works before you buy!
@@misterbridger Good call, I do have a “nicotine stained” one, the same colour as my E430, in my AutoTrader garage. The wife and kids would not be impressed with the colour 😂
You checked out a panamera...
I’d have a 4S 😎
Get the Jaaag!!! I loved this format, not new (obvs) but it worked really well between the 3 of you. Nothing wrong with the RS5 but the Bentley is not for you I feel. Oh and it needs to be something other than a Maserati as it needs to be another make/experience.
🙌😊
Great video. I think you're right, a £10k Bentley would be so high risk. As you know, I have an RS6 C6 and I'm too scared to buy an old Continental. They can present bills well into 5 figures and have their own share of engine out repair issues. Many cars with huge engines crammed into smallish engine bay need engine out for repairs.
You need some money set aside for these types of cars and as I always say it’s about being able to comfortably afford to run them properly, if so they are worth every penny imo
@@dadcars oh yes, they certainly are. I was tempted by a bentley from a specialist in London that sells Bentley & Rollers and gives a 2 year inhouse warranty with all cars sold and a major service pre-delivery if its not recently been done. On those cars, spark plug service costs a bomb. The only things that stopped me were the cars were quite pricey and the warranty doesn't cover "wear and tear". On a 15-20 year old car, they could argue that almost any failure is wear and tear 😂. I'd love one but the chances of being thrown a 5k-15k bill on a 10k car just ruin it. That & the fact that any Bentley specific parts will also be silly expensive.
I do also have a RS6 C6, and it amazes me every time I drive it. I do have a tune to close to 900hp (larger turbos, modified cooler) and it's absolutely perfect as a daily. Gonna be a dad soon and we decided that this will be our family car (instead of a Q7 V12 or SQ7 TDI). From an emotional perspective the car is more involving than the C7 RS6 I have as well. C7 is more capable and easier to live with, but probably a tad to "easy". And with a light beige Alcantra interior not exactly ideal for kids... 😃
Don't the Bentleys have sticking accelerators that cause them to explode when they crash into a boarder crossing?
If you’re thinking about views and channel content, the. It has to be a £10k Continental GT surely. There would be a lot of content there. Also agree that the Audi is a good car, but mostly boring
How about a bmw alpina d3 ?
Taylor recently got a lovely Alpina, great video on the V2 channel
Got to be Audi S8 V10 🤭
😂 what could possibly go wrong
Get the Bentley lol
lol 😂 what could possibly go wrong with a 10k W12 🙌
Every good story starts with an Alfa.
😅
Hmm .. 4.0litre XJS celebration I saw one slightly lowered the other week and they are sleek!
😮💨👌
Surely you’ve called Rory McKie about his Audi….?
He kindly offered it to me first! It’s gone now :)
If you can find a good solid 996 C2 manual coupe for 10k you will love it even a C4 will do and remove front driveshafts to convert it to a C2 amazing cars 🫶
I drive a CLS Shooting Brake V6 as a dads car for less than £10k
I think you covered most bases for the 10k mark. There’s one Phaeton W12 on AT in your budget but that might feel like a poor man’s Flying Spur. Lots of Golf Rs in that range too, though you might not have it long before it gets nicked! Staying on the hot hatch theme though you can get Megane RS for less than 10k. And if you like an Alfa with a Busso there’s one 156 GTA on AT for 7k but it doesn’t look in great condition.
I’d love to review a Megan RS but I can’t own two French cars at the same time 😅
@@dadcars A lot of people do but normally it’s because they need a parts car!
I had a bmw m3 and I replaced it with a 2018 skoda superb 2.0 190 tdi dsg sel executive estate and it was brilliant, admittedly it didn't make the ladies panties drop but it saved me a fortune and it was magical to drive ,it was reliable as sin had plenty of shove and all the mod cons .if you really want a cool dad car I would go old skool Mercedes a pillar less coupe from the early 90s think road house 500 sel 🇩🇪
A b7 rs4 could be an option for you, can get them for around 10k
I’d have a RS4 avant for sure!
Just bought myself a 50th birthday present an Audi b7 rs4 Avant 😘👍
Oh congrats!! How is it?
@@dadcars absolutely awesome,can’t beat a naturally aspirated v8 the sound on start up is incredible ,for a car that’s 17 years old the build quality is A1,carbon fibre everywhere and the wingback seats are class 👍
VXR.. not sure what the go for there
You could get a monaro for 10k but the VXR8s are out of reach I’d say
@@dadcars Monaro will be a classic, prices have risen here in Australia. Easy cheap power..
XKR if you can get it for 10k, be interesting to see how its like to live with.
Second option which you will probably laugh off but a late model RX8 face lift with good compression and low miles. Under 10k but a great driving Coupe. Just don't looked at the mpg
RX8 is a great shout but I’d be more tempted at the 5k step 😊
Interesting watch. I need to do the same with 5k 😅
Get a busso 👌😮💨
Rory from Autoalex is selling his rs6 avant...
It was an S6 and it’s sold 😊
Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R230) maybe...Or are they too problematic?
BMW e46 m3 hover around £10k might need a bit of work but you won’t lose money or maybe an Alpina b3 for something different
Same old tired format done so many times before - three Middle Aged white men on a sofa looking for a car zzzzz
For 10k I’d be looking at an Alfa 147 GTA- that engine and way it looks, for me, is perfect hot hatch
E46 M3 convertible FTW
Manual with a bright red interior and I’m in!!
My first taste of Italian Exotica was a 2003 Red 156 GTA and yes…..it had the amazing Busso. Certainly my biggest sale mistake, but definitely a great £10k dad car.
I’d recommend the Skoda Superb 2.0L 180bhp. It has low tax, is ULEZ compliant, and the estate version offers an impressive 660L boot capacity. And you don’t look like a flash Harry
I think I was offered one to review but for some reason it never got booked in… I’d like to film one for sure
Noooo you want the 280 of the superb! Smiles per gallon not miles per gallon.
@@AI-Records24 this 👍 own one, great all round dad car
Jag XK or XKR
🤙😎
@@dadcars also love the L405 you bought too. Am a F15 X5 owner currently but they’re seriously tempting!
Good video Ben, it’s getting interesting now with 10k to spend, you should go Bentley for the wow factor, or high mileage 911 996. Look forward to seeing what you end up with. Marcus
If a honest owner needed to move their continental on and offered it to me before a dealer got it for peanuts I’m in but the advertised bottom of the market for those cars is sure to end in misery! I’ve already got a cheap Rangie on the drive remember 🙈 when the channel grows though I’ll be able to roll the dice more 😂
The Bentleys are insanely expensive to run and maintain. My brother in law had 2 of them.. the 996 will need an engine rebuild at some point in its life (hello bore score) unless it’s a turbo.
You should have so many more subscribers. Love what you do and wish I wasn't so under the thumb to be stuck with our outlander PHEV (although it does only need a £50 refill every 3 months which is epic).
Bentley GT continental in blue is the dream though...
Thanks man! 🙌😊
5.0 jaguar xfr (2010)
Subaru wrx sti type uk (4door saloon 2012)
Yes 🙌 but then I look at an XKR again 😍 it’s a good problem to have right!
How about a Giulia Veloce, now available for just over £10k with higher mileage? Later, you could do a 'new vs old Alfa' episode when you get a £5k V6 GT!
Great shout
If you claim to be a proper petrol head, you must buy an Alfa. End of.
Audi RS5 or S5 won’t go on the Top Gear cool wall. Well it would but down the other end
On the Alfa side... Why not a Brera? 10k will get you a cool Prodrive.
Jayemm has suggested a Brera to me multiple times. I’m a bit romantic about a busso for my first Alfa though
@@dadcars completely get that... A GTV is a sexy 2+2. Cheaper scam tax than a GT as well 👍
Consider American cars ben, they have been an undervalued cheat code in the UK for a while and this market is just another blow to them. I reckon you can get a c5 corvette for £10k now, not really dad car criteria but the other muscle cars definitely are, camaros, challengers and proper 2000's mustangs will all have isofix etc as well in the rear seats as the yanks were big on that stuff.
Find me a Challanger or Camaro with a V8 for £10k and I’m in
decent e46 m3s are around 10k now...
Great shout, perfect looking cars. I’ve never driven one though
This is the American psycho businesscard scene 6:47
Hi Ben.
Hope your doing well.
I loved the content.
I would still buy a DB9. That car is just so cool.
I could get a DB9 with a blown up engine I suppose 😂 would still look good on the driveway
@@dadcars 🤣😂
Good point Adam, having had a 997 911, I remember that feeling of worrying about bore score 😂
Masarati Ghibli Diesel, unfortunately the petrol is probably out of budget
Yeah I’d buy a QP over a ghibli myself every time. Could get a really nice 4.2 for 10k
No Brera had a Brusso , they were all JTS , v6 included , JTS is American based
Yep that’s why we looked at the GT 👌😮💨
I drive jag xk 4.2 n/a in dark blue decromed back box deleted sounds like a proper v8 muscle car, gets a lot of glance and compliments. Downside rear seats are terrible but big boot
The 4.2 XK is a tremendous car
@@dadcars Yeah but you've been there and done that haven't you? Even if it was only for a short while.
Jag xkr or gran tourismo if potential repair cost don't scare u
😎
I think XK is the best choice for you Ben
My weekend Dad car is the e46 330ci cab. Kids love it and it’s a safe place for your money. It’s just been written off so I’m in the market for an M3. You can get them for £10k, probably shouldn’t, but you can 🤔
Yeah a lovely manual convertible recently sold on collecting cars for just over 10k
Great pick, I use mine for work & collect one child from school so even though it can fit four just a superb daily #CSLairboxftw
I understand mate, you would need to be extremely brave to have the Rangie and the Bentley, it has to be another Maserati then 😂
I’d feel a lot more comfortable with another maser yeah 😂 a known quantity
High Peak Motors has a cracking and now sorted ( buying and fault repair history documented on RUclips) S class for £6k… got to be worth a consideration
Ask Matt to help me out! I’d gladly take some help from a RUclips dealer 🙌
@dadcars why wouldn't you as him yourself?
Personaly i would go opder. Am a dad a daily a 2013 xfs and my week end sunny dads is a 2001 audi s6 c5 avant kids love it. It sounds amazing. Looks amazing. You could get a rs6 c5 for that money or evan abit newer s4 avant. Great dad cars or somthing like a Porsche Cayenne luxury aound well againg real well amd room for the kids
The back seats in Jaguar XKR are unusable unfortunately , which rules it out for me too small token gesture seats no good as a family car.
Brother in law just got hold of a JDM import legacy estate. £7k for a 70k miles. Jet black with lots of chrome. Just seen an Sti tuned blue one on AT for £10,995
Awesome!
Is my mate casually sitting on an f40 or f50 wheel?
Megane RS275. Should still be well worth considering.! Be the most reliable and cheaper to run. Also the most fun on twisty roads.
I’d love to review one, I can’t own two Renaults at the same time though 🙈
@@dadcars I think u should definitely drive one. 😉
Champagne taste beer monies 😂😂😂, bmw 840i, jag xkr
If you can ever make it to Tampa Florida you can review my dad cars. E30 325i, 22 m340i, and 2001 4Runner built for off-roading!
When my wife was pregnant with our first child we drove across Florida in a Camaro SS 😎
I recently aquired a RHD Cadillac CTS Sportwagon which ticks every single box. Potentially the only one in the UK and under ££10k
I’m definitely a dad car with 8 kids my wife has a 7 seater Skoda I’ve got a 2011 jag xf s 3.0d powerful and luxury cream leather 👍
I’m impressed with everything in this comment 👏
I will pray for you tonight brother 😂😂
Maybe buy a book? Watch the TV?
Never anything on 🤣
Johnny did not have him covered
Ah Ben, I know the “a bit of a fixer upper” all too well being a daughter Dad, frozen songs are too catchy 😂
👏😂 that’s why I love the viewers of this channel, someone always gets the bits only Dads would know 🙌
The best car I've owned so far is my current one, the kia optima gt line s. It's not flash, it's definitely not fast, but it's a great family car.
Bentley, grantourismo, alfa. In that order. 👌🇦🇺
Maybe a bmw m6 or cl55 amg/ cls55 amg
Find me a decent M6 for 10k that’s not about to blow up and I’ll buy it 😅
It would have to the Alfa GT for me. The Bentley I couldn't care less about. The Granturismo also tickles my fancy but not as much as the Alfa.
You could get the finest example of an Alfa GT or the roughest maser GT for the same money 🥴
@@dadcars Completely true. There was an absolutely pristine Alfa GT on sale not so long ago without a flaw or blemish for £9,600 a little while ago on Autotrader. If I had the funds, I would've bought it.
The jag is a good shout!
I know you wanted a c63 but cant get one for £10K, have you considered the c55, which you can get for £10K?
Get the xk, 100%
The Bentley at 10k is seriously tempting. Got one in the family that was bought for 15k and it’s needed a fair amount of jobs doing and parts. Unless you can do it yourself or have gullible friends to help it would get very expensive very quickly.
I know its aging a little bit but I think a 330Ci or an E46 M3 Convertible is a fun car as its quite versatile and fun at the same time.
Any 6-Series would make a great DadCar, I’ve got an ‘08 650i that I have my nieces in regularly and they love it. IsoFix as standard, big boot and some V8 goodness and also well under £10k.
It’s no supercar, but it’s not slow either. And the reliability reputation is overblown; if it’s looked after, the V8’s are actually pretty good. If it’s neglected that’s when it throws endless problems.
I wouldn’t spend less than £5k, because it’ll almost certainly be a neglected one, but £7-10k will get you almost any modern 6-Series, which I think are really underrated cars.
They’re not too expensive to insure either.
Agree with that...I recently bought on 07 plate 630i...nowhere near as quick as the 650i ...but it has the creamy smooth n52 engine and was owned by the previous owner for 13 years with full BMW history, cost me a smidgen over 5k...absolutely love it , even though it's a GT it has that old skool BMW feel and makes a lovely contrast to my S Class daily
@@SuhailRana-gp9ko All the engines are great and unlike Audi, there’s no basic-spec 2.0l 4-pot engines. The M6 is, well, the M6, the V8’s are lovely GT engines, the diesel tunes to ridiculous levels, but the 3.0 petrol is one of BMWs iconic engines. And for £5k, that is a lot of car.
A mercedes CL from 3008 onwards
Juke Nismo RS, controversial but try one!
Very controversial on this channel 😅
Great video, I currently have a small collection of 5 random cars, and am seriously toying with trading out an XJ40 Sovereign and an Astra G convertible and topping it up to get a convertible **** (not sure what but the budget would be around 10k).
You could consider something really left field like a vw passat v6 r36 0- 60 5.6 sec
Id love to review one as I bet they’re great sensible cool Dadcars…
BMW M6 ❤❤ V10, over 500bhp, plenty of room an super cool (and rare)
Is someone offered me a good example for my budget I’m interested!
You'd be mad to buy a 10k Bentley.... Proper money pit!
If I had £1 for every time someone comments the words “money pit” on my channel I could afford to maintain a 10k W12 😂
Grandcabrio or Bentley GT for me Ben. Currently own 2012 TTS stage 2 + DSG. What a fantastic car with 70k miles. Definitely not a family car 😂
I think the running costs of some of those picks will be a problem. I had the same budget and it was between a S5 or BMW 6 series (Fx) for me
Porsche 970 Panamera is worth a look. Controversial looks, but better in some colors, fantastic interior, all day comfort and surprisingly good handling for such a big car. It does sweeping on ramps with more stability at higher speeds than my 993. Agree with the Mercedes 190 Cosworth, could also check out its successor the w202 C43, doesn't have all the safety features of todays cars, but built like a vault and had every safety feature of the time.
E38 740 or 750 ... simples...
CL600 V12 Bi-Turbo or the CL55 Kompressor… very cool, very fast, fully loaded & seats 4 🤷🏻♂️
Audi S6 Avant - BMW 6 Series - 5 Series 550i - Merc C63 or CL - XKR - Granturismo - Megane Trophy - Panamera or 911 Targa
S6 avant is a great shout, if you can find me a C63 that’s not about to blow up for 10k I’ll buy it
@@dadcars The S6 Avant is a beast, you wont find better but If the C63 isn't in budget then you might try a C32 AMG Wagon or an S8 both would make for some interesting content...
Ben I have just brought a Volvo v60 T4. Does 0-60 in less than 7 secs but is safe and looks like a sleeper so no prats trying to race you.
Possibly a good shout for a review.
I’d love to review one! Fire me an email or dm on insta
You could get an mitsubishi evoX for 10k
If it was from 💯 honest enthusiast I’m interested!
@@dadcars a nice one goes for 15k but I've seen them go for 10k recently. No one want to pay £700 a year to tax a 2.0l saloon car anymore lol
@@natk8673I’d happily pay £700 in tax for an evo! Find me a good one and I’ll do it 👌😎

Doesn't like SUVs. Well that's OK, Land Rover would not appreciate the Range Rover being called an SUV...
I’d get an higher mileage 2000 -2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4. That would be a great dad car!
The SL wasn’t a 2+2 but you can add seats and lap belts
Ever considered a Monaro or maybe a vxr8?
Id love to try one
I am a dad of 2 and I drive a bmw 645ci 4.4 v8 but for less than 10k you could snag a m6 of the same era with some negotiation
Find me a decent M6 that’s not about to blow up for 10k and I’m in!
Do you have any advice on how you do this? I've just had my first child and I'm not sure how the car seat fits in mine. Want to keep the 6 series to prove that it's a viable car to friends who mock me as they have bought small SUVs for their kids. (Bit of context, the car came first and yes I should have figured this out before the baby came along)
@@benspicer4197 my kids are 9 and 5 so out of baby car seats now so cannot comment on this but it does depend on your height I am 5 ft 9 and it works with the 9 year old behind me and this kids love the car
£10k is nothing these days and there is a very good reason all these cars are £10k. To be honest i wouldn't want any of them for free.. my friend has a jaguar xk 4.2 2007 its only worth £5k and the road tax is £795. And its not even very fast.
