  1. The difference can be as much as 10p a litre 10p/litre X 80 litres is £8 £8 a week is £416 a year Overpay a £100k mortgage over 25yrs by £34.66 (£416/12) and you would pay your mortgage off 2 years 8 months saving £11,776 in interest and £20,608 in saved payments over the 2 years 8 months you've saved
  2. I've sold the three cars in my sig privately. The biggest pointer I can give is to get some fantastic pictures of your car done. This can be the difference between someone browsing past your ad or clicking on it. With regard to pictures, get one from all four corners, the engine bay, interior, a close up of at least one of the wheels and maybe even a pic of all the cars documents and receipts. Make sure the car is immaculate when you take the pictures and when they come to view. When people call be polite, accomadating and flexible. If there are any issues with the car tell people, even volunteer the info before they ask. For example, if the rims need a refurb, tell them before they come. They then won't come and be dissapointed by the condition. Also, if there are any issues such as this, show that you have a resolution in place e.g someone who will refurb the wheels for the buyer or that you will do it before they pick up the car etc. The point of this is to avoid any negative conversations. You want to be talking about only positives. One 'trick' is get them to sit in the drivers seat, you in the passenger seat, talk them through the interior gadgets etc and then get them to start her up. The engine note will get them instantly, they will no longer be listening to you but hearing that V6 growl Take them out in it too. Obviously you need to be wary of people, lock your front door and have someone in the house to phone the police or come out with a bat if needed. Depending on how quick you wanna get shot, I always put my car up for sale at whatever the dealers are selling theirs for. This gives you room to reduce it accordingly. Make your ad a real long detailed description of the car. Make it sound like the car has had no expense spared and that they are getting a bargain. Assume that everyone who reads the ad is an idiot. List every conceivable feature, not all people are car geeks like us lot. Specify the difference between your 07 car to an 06 for example. One under rated source for selling cars is eBay. I sold both my zeds to people on ebay. Be prepared for jokers wanting to buy your car for peanuts. A lot of traders use eBay to buy cars that are underpriced. I got loads of offers AFTER the auctions had ended from people hoping that the car hadn't sold and I was desperate to get rid. If I was you I'd stick it up for £22,995 and then systematically reduce it by say £1000 every 2/3 weeks or so. I suppose if you have finance or a loan out for the car then you have to consider the monthly payments while you still have the car. Lastly, don't panic! The car market is very very slow at the moment as the credit crunch bites. The car will sell, how much for will depend on how you apply any of the above. Hope this helps This must be my longest post for about 2 years, I'm going for a nap
  3. I used to put Super Unleaded in my zeds but then put normal unleaded in my Lambo as it made no difference in mpg and you'd have to be driving the car on the limit to notice any performance difference.

  8. Which is exactly what I said at the time. Me too, but not others Sarnie you are so hypacritical its untrue lol, you were saying you liked em even posted it, remember gave it that american look lol, make up your mind. I really like without decals and with either way it still turns heads, nice one bud I said I liked the silver decal down the side, which gave it that american look. At the time and now. I said to remove the named decals. lol you would make a fantastic politician My job is basically to make you agree with me, so maybe your right THE RAVING LOONY SARNIE PARTY!! I like it!!!
  9. Mr fooking pedantic If you were my teacher I would of let down all your tyres, every day Somebody has to maintain standards you know. And someone has to lower them
  10. I'd love to see a titanium/anthracite set of these.........
  11. How have you survived two summers

    rear brakes

    Bed them in properly or you'll 'glaze' them. I had my DS2500's fitted correctly, greased and follwed the bedding in procedure but they still squeeeeeled like buggery
  16. Waaaay overpriced imo. sl114 sold an 04 non GT for less than that aaaages ago. Get the GT pack if you want a quicker resale. Manual Cloth seats in a GT: Door cards are not leather in either model. Brembo's are standard on all UK cars

    HDR Tests

    I'd consider buying a GM if they looked like that in real life Great pics
  18. looks like the offset is slightly out so with a 10mm spacer, wont go anywhere near the callipers bud Was thinking about that, my Z looks very low, havent changed anything at all tho, would the tyres hit the arch if i put on spacers, also are there any cons of 10mm spacers? Tyre won't touch the arches. Cons are that in theory the load on the axles is outside of the intended parameters. Never heard of anyone experiencing any problems due to spacers though......
  19. What are you doing about the rear?

    Sunset is more of a metallic bronze colour. Do a search for Lomoto or Nixy or Drewbie. Temper Orange is a pale flat orange similar to Lambo orange in intention, nothing like it in execution hence why it was dropped. I think Polarbear (SP) has one......... Both are an aquired taste and would be wary of buying either if you care about an easy sale when you wanna get rid
  21. Nice one for that mate I agree thats its a very simple system but adequate for most uses, I used to rely on mine to get me around 500 miles per week
  22. PMSL!!!! Although I'm not sure who I hate more United or Chelski YNWA
