ok 3 more trains today ,,,,,,and a tram,,,,,, to pendbery or somethingorother , on the asquinth line or something ,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,, MANCHESTER

but thankfully drove back today .

now then this may suprise a few of you what i have bought ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but at least its something to discuss lol

1 owner from new , old fellow called albert ,,,,,,,,,,,, given up driving and sold it to his local garage.

daewoo matiz se 800cc,,,,,, 1st registered november 1999 ????? wtf i hear you cry

but

garaged all its life ,,,,,,,,,,,, complete service history every 12 months religiously , with stamps and receipts ,,,,,,,,,,,,, not one single dent anywhere , bodywork immaculate , ,,,,,,,,,,,, 12month mot done today with no advisory , four brand new tyres , and a spare wheel thats never been used ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i paid £800 for it ,,,,,,,,,,, and best of all its got 28k on the clock.

probably far from the best choice of car for the motorway mileage i will put it through though lol ,,,,,,,,,,,, but at 39 im no speed freak ,,,,,,,,, and keep it under 70 and it will sip fuel .

discuss

this is the part where you say , wtf lee , you tight arsed twat

I'm one for thinking u may as well treat ur self to a nice motor cus u spend most of the day traveling in it. Plus it makes u your cash, but hey everyone to there own tried a banger for abit more trouble than it was worth. Police pulled me over 6 times in 3 months.

I'd have to to have a big car if I was full time( I've got one anyway). Even if it was a diesel vectra. There a cheaper runabout and good on fuel and quite alot of car for no money. A 05 plate is about 2k and surely more comfortable to drive than that. Isn't it a cheverolet matiz anyway. Think it was on top gear as star in reasonably priced car

BFK · Post by **BFK** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 9:21 am

The reason it's so cheap lee is because it's an awful car.

Could of got urself an even newer diesel mondy or vectra for that money, will be more reliable, safer, cheaper to fix/replace parts, far more comfy and the engines will be cruisin at 2,000 revs at 70mph with 4 adults in not screamin it's head off at 50 with half the load!!!

Your car is after all your office though the day!!

trayhop123 · Post by **trayhop123** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 12:17 pm

all valid points ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, like bfk's,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,

your all right of course ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, for the amount of mileage we do fulltime ,,,,,,,, i should have a larger engine car , that can take it in its stride comfortably .

thing is , ive been scanning ebay , autotrader , gumtree and motors .co . uk etc for a week.

you all say , you can get this or that etc ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but take a look its not that easy ,,,,,,,,, well it is , BUT ONLY if you are prepared to compromise on ,,,,,, low mileage etc

plus your insurance is higher etc

plus the price will be 3 x what ive paid

i had a brand new (well 6months old) car once ,,,,,,,,,,, and within 2 1/2 years i had mullerd the mileage to the extreme ,,,,,,,,,,,, made it depreciate like a stone.

better off buying a low mileage banger in my opinion ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if you can get a year out of it with the miles we do , it pays for itself ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, sooner cost me 1k a year all in . than 13k for 3years with a resale value of ????? with 120k plus on the clock.

maybe im wrong ,

if/when slotting ends for me ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, probably treat myself to a better car then.

the new car vs banger has always been a dilemma for full time players that like to travel the country.
