Can't do that unfortunately. The exact spec that I want would be ridiculous to find, especially considering one of the options I want has only just come in, so I'd be very lucky.
Ill just buy new, regret later. ;)
Haha. It's not the first I've seen, but I have set my heart on one. Considered a...
Tbf guys, somebody has to buy one new, plus this has been the only car that I've ever looked at and thought "yeah, I'd have one of those over a Clio", so I'm biting the bullet and taking the hit. You can always earn more money.
Not yet. I still need to order the ST and find out when it'll be...
Yup. I love my Sunflower, but I want something new, that'll last me for many years to come without worry and something thats totally different to what i've owned before (so basically, not Renault lol).
You've thought that for years?
Same as when I got the 200, I came crawling back to Mk2's. ;)
I've got to be honest though, sitting in the ST was a refreshing change and is such an amazing car. I'll be getting one with basically every option ticked, so no poverty spec this time.
Lol, yup.
I can't own another Clio. I just can't. *Famous last words* ;)
The new Fiesta ST is just immense. I just have to take the plunge & regret later...
I will regret it 100%, but realistically, there had to be a point where I moved onto a newer car.
As as much as I love the sunflower, it is time for me to try something different.
Decided that the car will definitely be going, after thinking about it long & hard, as I've been offered a very good deal on a new car.
An ad will be going up soon :(. It'll be weird not being in a Clio anymore...
I've done all the research I needed to do, so if somebody comes with the right money, then yes, it'll go.
I'd have to find the perfect 200 though (which I've already PMd RSports about). Once a buyer is found, I'll be on the hunt.
Put 6 months of tax on it yesterday.
This morning i've fitted a new genuine centre exhaust mount, as I think the old one was beginning to sag.
I've literally just finished doing a bit of a write up for a potential sale ad too. :( Sad times. Already had a few PM's asking about the car...
But I'd have a worse car? No Deal. ;)
i know the 200 will cost me more and put a slight dent into my mortgage savings, but like I say as of next year, whichever car I have will be staying with me for a very long time, so it'd be worth the investment if it's going to last me quite a few years.
Yeah, I appreciate the input tbh, as I do need to think about the long term now, whether I can afford to have a relatively expensive car sat on the drive when i'm a home owner, or whether it is best to stick with a cheap & cheerful ph1.
That's exactly my point. Both the missus and I have...
Why wouldn't I want a nice car sat on the drive when I have a house? For the sake of a couple k extra in the bank, id rather have the car tbh and just work harder to earn a bit more. ;)
It's more of a case of it being my last chance to buy a decent car before I settle down and get a house (I...
To be honest, taking into account all the spare parts that I have for the car (i've just written it down for someone - there is quite a bit), I don't see any reason why it won't be worth my valuation. If I can get the price that I want, then I will definitely be going for another 200...
I dunno, because I think the price will totally vary on what they want tbh. I have loads of spares, 6x F1s, spare centre caps, spoiler, side strips, steering wheel, standard suspension & more. If somebody wanted the whole lot, then the price would reflect and I'd get what I want. If they just...
Don't get me wrong, I already have a price in mind and it won't be going for less than that. I'll only be happy to sell if the price is right. At the end of the day it's an awesome car and I've done too much to just give it away.
I would encourage anybody to PM me that may be interested though...
I do think I'll regret it. There's been 2 cars that I've massively regretted getting rid of. My Flamer and my 200. But as much as I'd love to keep it in a store and make it factory fresh, there has got to be a time when I do part ways with it, as running 2 cars isn't viable for me (I've tried to...
Not much of an update really, but it's newsworthy lol...
I'm partially thinking of selling up and moving back to a 200 shortly. As much as I love the Sunflower (it's actually the longest i've ever owned a car, I love it that much), i'm becoming ever aware that buying a house is on the horizon...
