Evening Gents & Ladies,
Bit of a dilemma I thought I'd run past you all !
Bought my Zed November 2008, an 05 plate GT 'gunmetal grey'with 20K on it. Absolutely love it to death and never had any problems with it whatsoever
BUT
Since then I've been promoted and been on the road much more . . . and just over a year later I've put on 33K extra miles (53K now), gone through 8 tyres, had it serviced when it should have been, etc, etc.
Now, although I get a car allowance I can only claim 15p a mile through the company (although if the tax office sort themselves out I'll get a tax rebate too) and coupled with tyres/servicing, etc it's costing me more money per mile than what I get back from the company.
SO whats a guy to do . . .
1. Sell up while I can still get a reasonable price (mid mileage tidy Zed) for it and buy something to crunch the miles?
2. Be faced with the loss on running costs and residual value I'll face in 12 months when it'll have nearly 100K on it !!
Before you say keep it as a weekend car . . . I'm a bit of a dubber so have a couple of weekend toys already kicking about.
It's driving me mad ??
What to do ?!?!?!?!?
p.s. whats a 05 GT with 50K worth these days ??
