  1. Sorry bud but you'll be doing good if you get someone local to pay £20 never mind £90
  2. Hi & from a fellow Aberdonian. Will look out for you
  3. You imagined right first time round, that's not them
  4. I've kept mine as long as possible but as much as I don't want to sell it's time she went to an owner who's going to use her instead of sitting parked up in the garage for most of the year on a trickle charge! Be gutted to see her go but once the little ones here there's zero chance of me finding time to drive & enjoy her.
  5. Possible sale of 57reg HR 350z GT with factory fitted nismo body kit & 19"lmgt4's. Has FS with 18400 miles on the clock MPSS tyres all round. Night blue in colour.
  6. In the exact same boat fella. Baby no2 due in September. Cars barely done 1000miles in last 18months.
  7. what's your budget & where are you based, willing to travel etc? Makes it easier
  8. So we presume it didn't sell at 9k but on his return he wants at least 12k! Where exactly is the lad away to at the minute fairyland
  9. Very true but what you need to do is apply that thinking to houses....I don't know what house prices are like where you live, but around Leicester a large detached house with a double garage in a nice area is at least £500,000 - This is the price range our next house will be in. Monthly payments mortgage payments on a £400,000 mortgage is £2000 a month at 3.5% interest 5 year fixed assuming 20% deposit. IF you can put down a larger deposit, and drop the mortgage to £250,000 your monthly payments go down to £1,000 month, because you can now access products that offer 2.2% fixed, and a lower initial borrowed sum. Your personal situation may be different, but the same principles apply. The bigger you house deposit the cheaper your monthly cost, and by a substantial margin!! So you can use the philosophy of 'Only live once', but if you try to budget and plan for 5 years ahead your could save your self ALOT of money by tightening the belt for a relative short time period now....And once the house/mortgage is sorted your have lots more disposable income to waste on what ever you like. Personally I much rather pay £1000 a month on my mortgage rather than £2000 a month, but for that to happen we have to squirrel away like mad for the next 5 years. But swapping a car to change the monthly payments from £294 to £219, whilst going from a diesel to a turbo petrol performance car...I'm sure it'll be great fun, but don't kid your self that your actually making any serious attempt to save up any money towards a house....Manmaths or not Exactly this.
  10. My cars running factory 19" lmgt4's. No problems whatsoever & the ride is spot on. Just don't but a set of cheap heavy wheels & it'll be fine.
  11. Which site are you using to try & sell? Maybe worth putting it on gumtree but put it under the likes of Aberdeen. They love their audis in Aberdeen & you tend to be able to get a little more for them. It's only a 2 1/2 hour drive at the end of the day.
  12. Well that was freaky. I was busy typing the above when you posted. Good shout
  13. As others have said its worth taking the hit now car wise for a better outlook in the years to come. Why not buy something like a 330 club sport.. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201505023124475/sort/default/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/price-to/5000/page/1/usedcars/price-from/3500/radius/1501/keywords/Club%20sport/channel/cars/make/bmw/postcode/ab157uh/model/3_series?logcode=p http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201505183573771/sort/pricedesc/model/3_series/price-from/3500/colour/blue/radius/1501/keywords/330ci%20sport/postcode/ab157uh/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/make/bmw/page/2/usedcars/channel/cars?logcode=p Interesting enough all rounder & holding their value at that price point. Sell up in a few years for near enough the same money when your in a position to buy something nicer. As much as I love my cars I have & would always make the sacrifice when needed & so far it's worked out very well.
  14. Lovely pics. Always fancied a clio v6 phase 2
  15. Hi & it all depends on how & where you plan to drive the car. Are you gonna track it or are you more a foot down in a straight line kind of driver with the occasional spirited country blast. It's not ideal to have different brands/tread depths front to back but as long as you're not trying to push the car to its limits then I can't see the harm.
  16. If you can afford to do it then why care what anyone else thinks! If cars are your thing then go for it. It'd be like saying to a physically fit sixty year old snowboarder your too old! Only live once so if that's how you see best to spend your money for enjoyment go for it.
  17. Looks bloody amazing. Can't believe I've never seen this car in the flesh since you live so close!
  18. Anthracite wheels with candy purple calipers
