i have seen the light guys...it doesnt make financial sense to do it whilst i can only run one car...maybe in the future when i could have a 106 as a toy...
now..i must go for another drive in that 197...why is getting a new car such fun??
lmao..you have my opinions exactly dude
situation 1...my mate got a 54 plate punto..(the whole thing on finance..brand new) and then went on to fit exhaust, wheels, lowering etc..not even one year later..ecosse had a gold 306 gti-6 with a T-16 engine conversion..for sale..£8k...now..the...
agreed..point taken...
which is why thats my only doubt about doing it..
i know the vee will clear the loan as said..the 106..probably wouldnt...= negative equity = bad situation to be in!
why didnt renault give the vee 300bhp...im sick of being beaten by small turbo'd hatches :(:(
pecan..that was meant as in...debt..as in...loan after loan after loan..a 7k loan is nothing on a car..how many under 25 year olds can actually pay off a car outright..
when i get a mortgage..i wont class that as debt..its part of life..house..car..and pension are the 3 main things people...
yeah its old but i still love to watch it,
i have seen that car actually being rolling roaded at GMC..what a f**king noise it makes!!
standing 15 feet behind the car could feel the exhaust gasses on your jeans!
lol..believe me mate..i dont do debt at all..some of my mates are over 20k in debt on cars..i think its shocking..what i owe on the vee is all i owe.. and im safe in the knowledge that if things ever went tits up..the car nearly covers double the loan amount..so no negative equity either...
pecan...
only 7k left on the vee to pay...so if i got maybe 11-12k for it...thats 5k in my hand..i have 5k saved...wouldnt use all of that maybe 2k..so just a 7k bank loan would see the gti perfect
i know the resale value is the only thing off putting me..i have driven 2 P1's now...awesome...
...but im considering...(i mean..seriously considering) selling my mk1 clio v6..
...and getting a late, mint low miler 106 gti..and turning it into a bit of a *****.
I have spoken to GMC who are near to me...and have quoted £5100 for an intercooled rotrex supercharger conversion fully...
wheels arent the most great to pick out in photo's...they look stunning in the flesh, and are proper split rims which doesnt really come out in pics either..
like the constructive comments though guys! keep em coming! :):)
either janspeed de-cats next, or some leathered 197 recaro's...hmmm
am i the only one that actually preffered the 197 to the 172/182?
i am unbiased as i have owned a 172 cup and currently a V6...if i needed 4 seats and a nice car to drive yet still handle excellent...i would be seriously looking at a 197 (cup version when available) the gearbox is fantastic...
meganes are fecking ugly though, i love the looks of the 197 especially in deep black.
i think you should have went for the mk2 vee option though...;) but im biased
