As I said above its a 1197cc Fiesta 1.1 LX. 14 years old!
I have the Fezza cos I sold my car...and the 182 is still going to be a few weeks. So I bought the Fezza for a few hundred quid as a stop gap!
when I called up to transfer my insurance from my 2 year old 1.2 6v Clio valued at £6000 with tints, 17"s, full stereo system and black lexus lights onto a 1.1 1990 Ford Fiesta LX with 88,000 on the clock valued at £200.
They asked me for MORE money as the Fiesta is Group 12 and the Clio Group...
THINK youve been missing the point mate.
For £21,000+ I would of course expect a bit more road presence.
For £12,000? Think Ill take the 182.
Its a bit like comparing a £25 a trick hoe to a £500 an hour hoe. You just...cant!
Ill be getting a starter kit then just renewing bits and pieces as I go. When the shampoo is gone Ill get Meguiars Gold Class but apart from that everything will remain the status quo.
Am on the verge of ordering a Zymol starter kit...posted another thread a few weeks back that was VERY handy but which Wax should I look at?
Im not into spending SILLY money on the really really expensive stuff, so was thinking cream or carbon, or titanium. MIGHT stretch to Concours but ONLY...
lol @ renting a car! Thats like throwing money down the drain!
The last couple of times I have done this I have broken even or made a profit! So today I went and bought a relatively good condition H reg Fiesta 1.1!
Dunno whats happening but the market for the old ones seems to be really...
dealer still hasnt given me a delivery date apart from "maybe 1st July".
Thing is I REALLY need a car by Monday so have been looking at bangers to get me by.
Went to see a HORRIBLE Fiesta earlier up for £350. I could hardly get enthusiastic about it could I?
Said goodbye to "Sexy" today. Off she went, to a lad with a surprsingly similar name to mine, me being David Wilkinson and he being David Wilson.
Still, off she went for the princely sum of £5250. Depreciation sucks. I MAY even have had a tear in my eye.
Now wheres my 182?
LMFAO! If shes anything like my mum, shell need post it notes all over it to tell her what button is what.
She still aint worked out how to programme the VCR
I wouldnt spunk that much on a motor. Itd be invested. I only buying a 182 cos I cant save for sh*t. If i had the lump sum i very much doubt i could spunk it all like that!
