In the process of buying this.....

- Start date
Completely agree, someone knows what they're on about finally.
Three and a half years from new.
Great choice, I think I would have gone PB if I bought again. I love the green but the worry about any damage/colour matching does my head in. Watch out, modding them gets very addictive 
Disastra Coupe
Doesn't surprise me at all tbh. If it's got an RS badge it's gonna hold good money... Even mk1's are holding fairly decent money and they'll only start climbing!
FN2 Type R +MK6 Golf
Im only suprised because when i was young cosworths used to hold there money well and the RS models didnt.I guess now that the RS is the top of the range so to speak they will hold the premium.
Its a shame cosworth doesnt dust off the old brown works overall coats and do one last special RS cosworth version.

Hi all,
Well that didn't go well..... I paid the deposit and then told the missus when she arrived back from work, to say she wasn't happy would be putting it mildly. She was annoyed as I'd got myself almost debt free and she'd felt the pressures of that. We've agreed I can get one in 7 months when my credit card has gone. To say I'm gutted would be an understatement but I can see where my missus is coming from and it's a lot of car to sit outside here not moving all day and people scratching it......
I'm saving a grand a month now so I will get one.
I have another car in place coming soon - just not 18k's worth.
She cried a lot and said she was leaving me - I almost said ok then, but I couldn't do that to her.
Yes, I'm gay
Cheers

I think I probably should
Sorry to hear that pal, me and the birds been looking at houses alot and to be honest i want something mental before i settle down and buy my first house, therefore i am considering an rs now, for a few reasons,
1. It would be one of the best sounding cars on the go
2. It stands out from your average vxr st etc
3. It just has to be done i have never owned anything like it or a new type car
4. The main one aswell, i feel if i keep it for three years its a good investment for the future if mileage kept low and condition good!
Sorry to rub salt in the wounds but i've changed my mind about the s3, looks way too boring.

Go back and read the rest of the thread...
think he meant play nice in your 182!
So, after six pages, no FRS ? Bummer!
I'd go ahead with it anyway, seven months in no time at all & you might not be able to find one as good then.
It is good that they're holding their value well. I said as much years ago.
6 pages? Oh Craig... sort it out eh!

As for not getting the car..you'll probably thank her one day if you are already in debt.

Argh nightmare. Word of advice, buy cars when your missus is on holiday.
Sarah went away for the weekend and came home to a MCS and GP on the drive lol.

Lol! My mates Dad wanted a new range rover. The mrs wouldn't let him get one. All the family went to Switzerland for Christmas except his Dad. Can you guess what was on the drive on their return?

The problem was I got a 15k loan out 5 years ago to help pay some credit cards off. I paid it all back fine and then she said why would I want to get that pressure round my neck again and she got me thinking. I told her this is a bit different from a loan as the car will always be worth something and that I'd make some other changes I.e cancel gym, sky and all that b****cks but then she did the line you only drive once or twice a week.....
I was going to be paying near 400 a month for a car I didn't drive.
I was whipped badly - yes ha
I regret it so much
