what would you do

[Christophe]

Getting a 182 but i can't decide which option to go for. I want RB with cup packs but because they cost a bit more i cant afford to add a yozza/milltek exhaust. Or i can get a different colour with cup packs which is a bit cheaper allowing me to add the exhaust.

 

[Russ_16v]

buy one already modified?

 

[Christophe]

not many with decent miles and price

+1. Modded cars are usually cheaper than unmolested examples.

 

[mattyw]

surely thats simple?

save up more?

 

[calum001]

why compromise on the whole car over a £300-400 exhaust ?

just get the car you want and save up for the exhaust, if you've got your heart set on an RB then you'll only be disappointed with any other colour and regret it

What calum said.

 

[Christophe]

I would normally but I am about to move into a new flat (first time buyer) and once i have bought an rb i won't be able to save up for mods as if i have spare money it is to go on the flat. So its now or never kind thing.

 

[D2501]

At least you'll have the car though mate, its still a good car without the exhaust and you'll eventually get one surely!

add the exhaust later, its not entirely essential you have it the day you purchase the car.

Buy a better colour like say inferno. Mite know a good 1 for sale very soon ; ).

I agree with this, tbh i have been surprised with the standard exhaust for sound, i dont mind it at all. Plus fitting the exhaust at a later date is a good think for keeping interest up.

I'd pick the actual car you want. If you settle for a compromise just to get an exhaust, you'll regret it later.

What do you want more: RB or exhaust?

 

[Christophe]

I really do want RB but i have to save a bit more. i got 5.5k. need 6k to get the one i want which i have seen. I know people will scream at me but i want one with less than 40k

 

[FlameR]

Just get an RB with cup packs, save up £400 over a couple of months and get an exhaust :S

Go for RB then. Get the exhaust at a later point.

Personally I see no issue with miles, I used to but after seeing Nick172Cup's and reading about Fletchers (both over 100k), I'm not worried anymore. And if anything, don't mind racking up the miles if it helps loosen the engine more.

DCi then!

 

[Terry172]

Buy the colour you really want...save for a bit and then add the extras. I would rather have the colour everyday over an exhaust

 

[Christophe]

my girlfriend making me feel guilty as i'd be spending an extra 600/700 quid just to get rb with cup packs when i can get a silver/BG 182. She even trying to get me to get a zetec s fiesta as it so cheap to run. but they are more expensive than some ST's at around 5.5 - 6K!!! The RB i want is 6k

You should put some of your money in her mouth so she cant speak TBH
