Guys,
I'm thinking about selling the zed and getting an s2000 for around £5k. I haven't driven one but will be today, I might hate it but will find out soon.
My reasoning behind this is I'd like to free up some money from the car to pay off some debt and hopefully get a deposit together over the next couple of years to buy a house
I know I should be looking at selling up and getting a sensible car, if I need one at all,but cars are my only real hobby and I know I'd miss having something nice sat there to the point where I'd go a buy something again. Hence thinking about a cheaper s2000.
Now the ones I'm looking at are high mileage, older cars 2000-2003. Am I likely to be opening a can of worms with one. I don't need to sell my car. I love it and it's been absolutely faultless in the 2 years I've had it but the extra money I'd raise would be handy and would pay off a bit of debt.
Am I being a prat for even thinking like this or is it a viable thing for me.
From the s2000 I'm looking for reliability, slightly lower running costs (although I'm realistic about this not being the case) and a bit of fun. Sounds like online dating.
Also, my car has been well looked after, it's got mpss all round etc. the 1 s2000 I've looked at so far had 4 different budget tires on it, is this the sort of thing I'll be looking at with a cheaper car as if it is I'm not going to waste my time looking as I can't be dealing with cars that haven't even had decent tires on them, shows a lack of caring from previous owners as far as I'm concerned.
