:cry:

Without doubt, from when I was in my 20's, single and no kids compared to now being married, two kids and been on a car lock down for five years!!

Interesting, informative, mature thread. Said no one thats read it...........

Still here

Clocked

45k on clock. Bought with 20k on clock. You've added 15k. 20k + 15k = 35k??

I've had two M3's and never had one problem and never spent a minute off the road, does that even out your stats??

Please tell me you're not dismissing a car purely off the back of a reliability slidey chart from a website?!!?!?!

Errr? Where did you get that from. Also nothing wrong with asking for advice, that's the first step to the right path surely. Why berate someone for trying to seek help. I got it from my book called "Obvious Things" Do you think eating a pasta bake late at night then toast before bed helps or hinders weight loss? You mean you got it from your book of 'things I made up'? Nope, again, it's obvious.

Everything in moderation....the right carbs are good for you especially if you are excercing lots!

I got it from my book called "Obvious Things" Do you think eating a pasta bake late at night then toast before bed helps or hinders weight loss? eating just before bed can help weight loss... just not a pasta bake!!!!! Or toast!! Which I'm going to assume is white bread, more than one slice and smothered in butter......... How about you don't be a dick about it with your comments? He's asked for advice and received plenty of useful tips. You haven't really helped in the slightest, don't see the point in your posts, apart from pointing out the obvious, which I'm sure he is aware of and is the reason he has opened this topic. He's aware of the obvious but still opens the thread? Doesn't make sense?? I've given him tips too on an extremely basic level; reduce calories + increase excercise = weight loss.

would peer pressure / public honesty help? start a thread with what weight you are and weekly update it with your highs and lows and weight level. you will get support and encouragement from loads of us on here and it could help you keep that goal in sight That might not be a bad idea, ill see how my self consciousness feels about it Must say tho Faith in forum restored easily most helpful thread ive had in months Excluding Sarnie not sure what the need was there Need for what?? Pointing out the obvious like "stop eating chocolate"????

Is this thread a windup??? Man eating chocolate, scoffing carbs late at night who does no exercise wonders why he's putting on weight!?!? People over complicate diets/losing weight, all most people need to do is; Reduce alcohol intake or cut it out totally No takeaways, sweets, chocolate, crisps etc just eat regular normal meals Exercise for 30mins+ a day Don't eat past 6pm, especially not heavy carb based meals

I think the wheels offend me more than the paint!!

..........for a reason.

To be fair, I'd probably not buy any of the cars personally Just, when looking at ads there's lots of cars that are priced low due to miles or being Cat D and those priced higher that are clean with low miles. Just couldn't work out in my head which was the bigger issue; high miles, Cat D status or high price of a clean car?

Not really a daily, gets used about once a month

Exactly. My instant reaction when I see Cat D in the ad is to move on, but with a lot of high value cars it's easy for them to be written off. But then I see 90k cars and move on too. And then I see the £25k 30k cars and think to my self "I could get in the same car but with higher miles for a lot less" !?!?! A perfect example of this is I bought an M3 with circa 75k on it. My Dad is a complete mileage snob and bought one from a trader with 25k on it. I paid £9k, he paid £18k. Three months later my Dad decides he doesn't like it and sells it back to a trader for a £3k loss. I think a year later I'll get my money back, if not a small profit. Being a mileage snob cost him £3k

Why though? What if the equivalent Cat D was down to something like panels being keyed, but all have been factory replaced so mechanically it's still a 30k car? I'm struggling to reconcile which is potentially worse. Ordinarily, i'd go with the higher miler but in two years that car might be up to 110k and the cat D 50k; which is the more attractive then??

So, doing my usual surfing of the classifieds that I seem to do every day and I couldn't quite resolve this question in my head? Which stigma is worse? The unknown of the Cat D issues or the potential unknown issues of high mile cars? For example, one car I seem to always look, at there are lots of cars like this; £17k - Cat D - 30k £17k - 90k £25k - 30k - Is it worth saving £8k and buying a Cat D 30k example? - Is a £25k 30k car really worth the premium? - Is a 90k car really that bad? - Which do you prefer; 90k miles or 30k but Cat D? - All things being equal, would you rather buy a 90k car or a 30k Cat D car? My own thoughts are that I'd never buy a Cat D car. I've bought high mile cars before without issue but looking at the classifieds, the high mile cars aren't selling............ Opinions?

Nice!!

I bought MPSS' for my M3 from Tyreleader, ordered on Tuesday and arrived on Thursday. Amazing price and service..............
