As would most but they were on the list to choose from

+1 You would have to be doing huge mileage to make to cost efficient.

Plan at the moment is to spend no more than £2k to get a economical car for the commute and use the Zed at the weekends. If I get the job then I will have the car ready for the drives - and until then I'll probably only have to fill it up once a month with my current commute. As for renting vs buying - I really don't want to rent, it feels like throwing money down the drin and will just make it harder when saving to buy somewhere. Renting..... well you either pay (for example) £500 a month to rent somewhere, or £500 a month in interest to line a banks greedy palms for your mortgage. Then, with property prices falling, i know people whose houses have dropped by 25% this last year alone, so on a 150k house thats £37500 you have just thrown away over 12 months. Of course, people say that over the long term property goes up in value... and it does.. but it would have to go up by a hell of a lot to give you a better return over what you are paying in interest on the mortgage. I'm sorry but that's utter rubbish. A £500 a month mortgage is not £500 of interest. A certain % is capital unless your on interest only. Even if a property loses 25%, it's only relevant when you sell. If you sell in 10 years times, it's value 9 years before that is wholly irrelevant. House prices are not like car depreciation; they actually go both ways If someone rents for ten years, thats 120 rent payments (120 x £500 = £60,000) down the drain. A 100% waste of money. There is no return on that money. If you bought a place, yes a % is interest but you may have paid off £25,000 or so and the property may have risen £20,000, thats £45,000 of accessible equity that you have. Even if the house price was the same as when you bought it, you could sell up and get £25k back. What would you get if you were renting for ten years? Sweet FA.

I can't help but think this is going to be the new Celica........semi good looking, but so under powered that it just ends up with women owning them.........

Good luck mate

Just remembered that I saw this at the Geneva Motor Show:

How did she drive home from work after having the keys stolen?

Stupid aluminium vent trims that weren't sticky enough to stay stuck down, and this was when they cost £50

It looks like a 370z with a chav kit on it to me.......

I would go with the one you think your least likely to ever own

WTF?

I would rule out the 997 straight away. Who wants to pay to drive something that you see 20 times a day? With regards to the GTR and the Gallardo I would say it would be down to how much your actually going to be able to 'drive' the cars? The gallardo is likely to be louder and more involving, especially if it's a manual, although the downshift blips on e-gear are to die for. The GTR will be faster for sure, but it's a bit sterile imo. I tried to be as unbiased as possible

What a doughnut.

With respect, it's time to grow up. Decide which you want more; your own house or a nice car whilst living with your parents? We all want nice cars, but at times you need to cut your cloth accordingly. There comes a point when you have to step out from being a kid with a flash car, to a young adult who owns their own home. Sell the car, buy your place, settle in to the cost of living and buy a decent car later down the line.

Good work!

I loved the guy who pulled a shotgun on them and threatened to come back with a TANK!!!

I think you mean Rosso red

Used to be a semi-pro footballer, now just a Sunday footballer

Another GTR!!!! They really know how to **** off their customers!!

Defo one of the Irish cars. They have the GT4 wheels as they are/were the standard wheels for the european market. IIRC all of the irish cars were new/unregistered when they were brought here so they would be first registered in the uk etc, so 99.9% of people would never know the difference. They were all put on 09 plates as thats when they were registered in the UK and I'm pretty sure that the zed wasn't actually even been made still in 2009.................

Defo one of the Ireland cars. The GT4 wheels are the biggest give away, plus the fact it's a MY06 not a MY07. There is someone on here who is selling a black MY07 313 roadster and can't shift if at circa £12k so this MY06 is well overpriced imo..............

wtf

It's called Temper Orange here. It was a 2007 colour that was discontinued after 12 months due to poor sales. In my opinion, it's a colour that looks better in photograph's than in real life....

Me too, love them, just like what they have in the LP560's. Rest of the car is utter tat though, probably held together by glue and sellotape.

Do you mean converting an auto into a manual? Marzman modified his to add a paddle shift system which might be a lot easier to do.......
