oops ive been shafted! 1500 from sale of old car and 2K savings so to be fair should have compared to a 3500 car! might have made a grand difference, but 75mpg and 18K servicing will beat anything for running costs (even an electric hybrid cos I worked it out) !!!

u33db "finance hanging over head..... tis my car! once youve paid 33% on Reno, technically cannot repossess put down max deposit 35% and paid over 2 years anyway!

Id luv a Willy, but I wouldnt want to do up to 700 miles a week in it, not garage it and park it anywhere during week whilst out on business!

seens loads a posts about cant afford to run car, need cash, want newer car etc. I am running a new car for LESS than an old one: I calculated my total running cost over 5 years 80K (including finance) as LESS than running an L reg! these are REAL costs based on what I was spending...

remember than residual values are based on LIST price, so a car that is easy to blag a discount on does not depreciate in real terms as fast as figures suggest! say Clio worth 50% @ 3 years = 7250 (based on 14500 LIST), but if you only paid 12500 to start with .... actually retains 58% of...

The Clio V6 is in a different league Golf - great but starchy (your Bank Manager might suggest this one) V6 - mad but far more adrenaline! (your mistress would say this one) Ive driven dozens and dozens of cars - the 200 yards in a V6 Mk 2 eclipses all the skid pans, track sessions, donuts...

theyll always claw it back claimed 700 for a damaged door (and paid first 250) 3 years ago - my insurance would be about 100 pa less without! (and Ive got protected no-claims) - so over 4 years, pay it back anyway!! may go up LOADS more on performance car colour match is good with a chip...

18 at a guess for dCi 80 (actually 85 woohoo) since 0-60 is about the same as a 1.4 16V @ 11.2 s anyone tried a quarter in a D??

cheers folks - Ill stick with what Ive got and try and squeeze a bit off!

just rung my two nearest dealers for first service (18K dCi). Camden Northampton & Aylesbury. only oil and filter and a few checks - one wanted £199, other £185! Ive got a load of Reno vouchers, so main dealer needed. Any recommendations Bucks, Northants, Oxford, Herts, Beds, North London...

a fix! you couldnt vote for a diesel - a sure winner LOL :-) I voted MK2 V6 based on a 100 yard drive!

Dods I pay £400 for a dCi @ 35 with an identical sp30 & claim it aint gonna be below £1500 - Id be about 700! soz :( a chipped dCi is a feck of a lot quicker than a 1.2?? OR nice Black VTS on CS for £3200 - older and cheaper to insure than 172!

HOW-DE-DOODLY! got 3 points 2! but never got caught for a 41mph flash on me racing bike!

Im local! but got Sept 25th @ Billing Aq. in my Diary as well!

plastic close to bumpers (f&r), metal other very risky due to water getting in on metal bodywork
