Off the clock... that's something to aspire to. What I bet will really happen is about a year from now I'll buy a 2nd hand megane 225 for around £8k. I'm probably going to be buying my first house in the next year so spending loads of money on a car isn't really a sensible option. My last car was a 1.6 16v megane fidji and I absolutley loved it to bits because it mwas mine from new. I don't have the same love for my 172. The fact I've had loads go wrong on it hasn't helped. Plus my 172 has depreciated faster than I've been paying off the loan so I've got about £5.5k left to pay and my car is worth £5.5k. Basically I've lost an entire brand new car (the megane) which I traded in against the 172 (which was 12 months old when I bough tit and the megane was only 18 months old with 2k of very tasteful mods, hence why renault were still keen to take it off me)
I feel like an oholic, an oholic of cars, a caroholic. It's all the megane's fault, it was prefect and now I have too higher standards.
I had a shitty 1993 metro before my megane, but having a brand new car was like heroin for me, I want more. It'd be cheaper to actually start taking heroin I think. ...I'm off to find a drug dealer see if he'll part-ex a 172 on a kg of skag.
