EBay jobbies methinks and because like the budgie they go cheap. Got the rears on Carla's no problems

4k?!? Jehezus!

Audi TT

Good enough for me.......means i dont need a loan for the full value, can swap the car out after a bit (like i usually do every 18 mths to 2 years) and i have money in my arse pockey for more shiney river island suits Its a personal contract plan.......discussed at some length on the slk thread.

I need some fricking hydro cortisone I've been itching that much this year! 3l straight 6 roadster 5l v8 saloon 2l 4 cylinder Alfa 2l turbo dev coupe Ffs! Just do it!

Sort of do mate but it's like your getting bummed without even the common courtesy of a reach around. Higher tax bracket, HR money but none of the benefits. Buying a car with a 3.5 v6 engine and worrying about 17k or 35k on the clock is madness. A 17k car with sketchy history is worth less to me than 35k with a good history if for no other reason the resaleability. These cars are good for galactic milage. Don't sell yourself short just to get a ludicrously low miler. Get an unsecure loan with a lower apr and march into a dealer with a hr car that you like plant a fist full of cash on the table, get a trade in and away you go. As soon as they know you need their finance you are finished from a negotiation perspective. Don't get dealer finance unless you want pcp.

I just buy the car.......pay thousands on repairs then flog it on for a massive loss. It's just how I roll.

I've never understood this 'yearly servicing' malarkey I mean don't get me wrong I do it but does no one else think its a sack of old bollocks? If my car does 10k in a year then it needs servicing, if it does 10k in 6 months it needs servicing if it does 10k in 2 years it needs servicing..........whatever why you slice it the service needs doing after a certain around of milage, I fail to see what 'time' has got to do with wear and tear on a car.

Sweet........baby.........Jesus

You need to add me and Carla if your on ps3 R111cyy and CarlaAX I think.

Very nice

Car trader servicing a car........never spells 50 odd quid oil being used does it

Jay don't take this the wrong way as I really don't intend it to be but you don't strike me as someone who is particularly hard up, from the way you talk your pretty stable, well sorted, expensive rock purchased and just love your metal.........why not get something properly nuts like a Sagris or a Mazzer. Yes it will break but you'll be a fully blooded petrol head by then.

Cayman.......no contest. Itch scratched of owning a porker, I'm one of the few who think the Caymen is the best looking porker, fast, economical(ish), nice place to be, proper coupe. BMW M3 - you get the nod from Saxo drivers, 3 series with bits stuck on visually, hate hate hate the sound of BMW straight 6's (is it still a 6 or has it gone V8?), people hate you, children hate you, animals hate you........ your family - they don't like you much either.

He never said it was......that was just the noise his car made when it had 2 bend conrods

Don't know why but I prefer the other import you posted above. Leather looks a bit shagged on the one above (there again that can be quite an easy fix if it's just superficial) Make sure you either know the buying guide like the back of your hand or print it off and take it with you. The 88 quid insurance quote......that on a uk car or an import?

Re the cars its a tough one as not many would probably touch them but then we are talking about a 5k budget. As you state above your not a spotty teenager but your still getting the same spiel that all low budget noobs get........tread carefully. 5k gets the arse end of the market..........5k can turn into 5k plus 2k repairs very quickly. My advice.....save another grand and half if you can.......other wise for the love of god take your time choosing. Do not try to find any car that fits budget just so you can pick it up on your day off. With that budget you need to take your time and pick very, very carefully.

One horrific looking piece of turd that is

Alll a neeeeed is yo bonk accooooooount and sooooort coooode.

Almost Autumn isn't it. Pretty much immy! If it keeps on like this I don't think it will be long before Carla actually manages to convince me to have a mooch round your neck of the woods.

So well regulated that the general publics perception is that 90% are a scandal yet I don't hear of any being fined/closed down/improvement orders imposed. Not saying your wife isn't amazing at her job zugs but the regulation they have is next to useless .....yes there may be regulation they have to abide by but breaking them rarely has a consequence when they just **** up through ineptitude or a breach of process. You don't see the NAEA or ARLA dishing out fines and shutting agents down. You also don't see the government getting involved because individual incidents are too small fry. Provided they don't **** about with client money, keep adverts accurate and don't mis-sell a house to they keep their nose clean. For example Carla's agent who failed to set her standing order up 3 months running yet insisted on calling her every month to ask why she hand paid.......each time after which they would proclaim that her bank details were 'floating around the office somewhere. If my bank had done that we would have to raise a regulatory breach, report it to the FSA, remediate the customer for distress and inconvienance, If an individual was accountable remove their bonus and undertake a root cause analysis. It the FSA saw more than a few we could be fined (again), continue doing it and the 'person of significant influence' will be facing a stretch.

With this kind of thing I think you've got to consider how hard it would be to sell the car without rather than what sort of value it would add. Bear in mind that unless you have electric heated seats now the electrics won't be comparable.

Ricey has a challenger god help us if you two team up Would love to see that! Someone get him on here i want to read some of his stuff My stuff is all in the search somewhere......i dont want to steal anyones thunder.

Endless stuffy grey sludge round here.......summer my arse
