Sensible car has arrived.

[VIICarCare]

Picked up our 1.5 dci dynamique medianav friday. Im impressed with it tbh, makes me want a 200T but I have to be economical now really nice car, the colour makes up for having to part with the 182

 

[Bobby.]

Wasn't expecting that.

 

[Clart]

Thought the 182 was going because of redundancy threats?

 

[VIICarCare]

Bf is going, they are gunning for me. So px'd the vauxhall for this. Selling the 182. Keep the vee until needs must.

 

[Clart]

Seems a bit weird buying a brand new car if that's the case?

 

[George182]

Very odd decision financially - surely?

 

[VIICarCare]

How? Lol. This isnt about my personal finances, its about the car. We need a daily car, this is it. Zero road tax & 4 yrs servicing.

 

[Gally]

Women literally boggle my mind! I'm sorry but that is a shocking purchase.

 

[Matt W]

Just don't get it.

​

 

[George182]

It would have been cheaper to keep the 182?

​Even if you put half of the cost of the finance aside each month - it would pay for tax and servicing!

 

[StephenJ]

Lol I'm sure everyone one of Dawns threads reads exactly like this. Cars nice, especially the colour but the purchase makes zero sense.

 

[Fletcher]

Just don't get it.

We have an ederly aunt who needs to be able to get in the back. The 182 is only 3 door & costs £245 a year in tax & 35mpg on av.

 

[McGherkin]

Jesus. I'm sure it's a nice car though.

You say that like that's a bad thing??

New shape clios are really starting to grow on me though, lovely little cars

 

[Gally]

Like I said when you bought that mental Vauxhall and then Twingo. You must hate money.

 

[Rob]

Lol! There's definitely no man maths going on here.

Cool colour though.

 

[aucky]

Spending pounds to save pennies here

 

[Knuckles]

Oh Kay.

Have you broke the touch screen yet? I killed one in circa 10 mins

 

[len_beach]

No money being saved there but hey ho.

 

[ColinG]

I still hate the new clio's, mental selling a £3k 182 for a brand spanking new car to save on road tax though...lol

 

[jack_davey]

I knew someone like this..

Sold a £3k audi tt to apparently save money, to then get a brand new fiesta on finance, then part ex'd one car to the next until years down the line the car she stuck with was worth about £3k and was less spec'd than the TT! Mental!

 

[DrR]

Didn't you recently have that horrid vauxhall 4x4 thing?

 

[LiamR172]

Lol... mental as said.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

f**k it , it's a nice car. They're growing on me slowly. Dci engine will give you lots of spare pocket cash over time

 

[Yosemite Sam]

I am somewhat confused at all this. Selling a £3k car and buying a brand new car to save money?!

I'm all for people changing cars regularly. but the justification seems a little odd.

 

[leeds_182]

I hate to think what you lost on that vauxhall.

Nuts.

I think the clio looks really nice though.

 

[McGherkin]

Title needs editing tbh.

 

[Heez]

Really like the new clio, in the best colour as well.

As above though, justification is unfortunately way off. I don't understand how getting a new car will save money from selling a 3k 182.

Duh! The road tax! Ffs Daniel!

 

[theduck]

I've said it from the start, these are great looking cars and having seen a few in this colour on the road I have to agree its a fabulous colour!

 

[arg_carra]

Finances aside, looks a great little car.
I'm half debating one for my next daily - how is the dCi 90 in terms of performance? My current Megane 3 door is the dCi 110 and I'm worried the Clio will feel slow in comparison.

 

[jack_davey]

Duh! The road tax! Ffs Daniel!

FLOL!

People should read posts.

SHE PX A NEW VAUXHALL SHE HAD FOR THIS AND SOLD HER 182. NOT JUST SELLING A 3k 182 FOR A NEW CAR IS IT?! NO.

NO LONGER RUNNING 2 CARS JUST ONE. SHE MOST LIKELY WILL SAVE MONEY.

So being faced with redundancy, they px'd a nearly new vauxhall (losing a boat load in depreciation no doubt) and set up a new finance agreement for another 3/4 years.

Like I say, I'm all for people changing cars but the logic behind this seems a bit daft.

I'm sure dawn knows what she's doing though.

 

[.GAZ.]

I like the Mk4 Clio's ALOT!

Nice caps. v6 too remember. Not sure how thats saving money.....

 

[Bradtate]

Woman maths is a very funny thing, can't imagine school was attended very much throughout the years.

 

[JCC]

You'd get a lot less abuse if you just admitted you like changing cars you know, rather than making up excuses about saving money.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Its her hobby and nothing to do with saving money surely?

i save money by driving cheap to run diesel cars, but I also have expensive to run trackday cars too. Saving money on a daily means I can use them more.
