found a UK car on Autotrader very similar spec for £20k so less than that for a JDM http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... x_mileage=

Paypal payment on the way

I think you'll find that is TOP SECRET but as a guess about £2-3K

I lost £4k on my yellow megane coupe. Not a massive amount but as a % of the original cost it equated to 66% of what I bought it for only 12 months previous........ Painful my bro inlaw lost 15k on his x5 in 6 months !! i added up how much he lost in 12 months on bikes and cars last year----- 40k Wow £15k on the beemer...

Depreciation...whilst on the subject ...whats the most money anyone has lost in depreciation on a car ???

Hi Chum A newbie thats found the search button with no prompting is a first

they dont list correct offset for 350z in the first link you posted

I thought I saw a bit of piston fly out right at the end

one would hope not

I bought a job lot of 350z spares some time ago and there was a handbrake lever assy in with it

have you tried the guy's I used http://www.precisiontrimming.co.uk/ they were a lot cheaper ps I have a spare handbrake lever in orange if you fancy modifying it

got mine done here http://www.precisiontrimming.co.uk/

+1 - mine has always been high and I like em like that as it makes for faster gear changes So long as its not slipping, I cant see it being a problem. Can someone explain to me in laymans terms what happens when a clutch slips? How can you tell? the engine revs like a bastard ,and you go nowhere (in layman terms )

I thought you would do better with higher interest (ie higher commision ? )

Dorian is running a book , get your bet's down lads

You cant envisage the rate going up again in the near future?? 4% by this time next year That's interesting , I would have thought with raw materials going through the roof (steel, copper alloy etc.) , fuel /gas prices rising , food costs escalating(price of wheat has nearly doubled in 6months ) that it was a sure fire bet that inflation would rise Inflation yes, but interest rates will consequently go down , tenner on it 12 months from now a tenner will wing it's way up to Cumbria if inflation is lower than today No the bet is on interest rates at 4% - besides, there are so many measures of inflation, I doubt I can justify paying my lawyer to get my winnings Damn you spotted my twist in the plot...OK if interest rates are at 4% the tenners yours

That's it exactly. Liam, you can't compare leasing a car to renting a house because your house won't lose 40% of its value in 18 months. If the lease payments on a car are no more than the depreciation over the same time, what have you lost? Other than the grief of getting rid of the damn thing at the end. Come on Digsy , you've brought this back on topic By the way agrere with yout last statement

My thing, would be that after 18 months of leasing you have nothing to show for your money, e.g no car to sell or px against the next one..... Same as renting a house I guess - some prefer to do that whilst others mortgage themsleves to the hilt, pretending they can afford what they can't. Incidentally for what, when is that investment ever realised whilst you're alive Granted, but in todays market renting is often as expensive if not more so than buying Also, from a biz persective, if the car was bought then the balance will be reducing month by month. And, If business dictates then the car could be sold to realise the capital (albeit that the monthly payments would continue) What happened to the old concept of just buying something when you have the money for it ?? It no longer exists - until it all goes pear-shaped when the mind is (so I'm told) re-focussed If the housing market goes tits up again like it did in the early 90's.. there will be more than refocussing needed

Never thought about house buying in those terms before Dorian.., very thought provoking.... Hence the inception of Lifetime mortgages Bugger that... I pay enough to the taxman , vatman etc..without giving it a finance house as well
