to buy a v6 or not

[Laura]

im going to be leaving my job soon, and starting another one (hopefully lol) so the chance of getting a mortage for 12 months are slim to non. so i have this urge to just go buy a v6 lol

silly idea?
or once in a life time thing?

i promiced myself i would have one before i was 25

 

[Timmay]

as Nike would say - just do it!

 

[brisa4984]

personally... i wouldnt buy a v6 when changing jobs. Perhaps a few months into the new one just to see if its a long-term one and your not going to be let off soon.

I also wouldnt buy a v6 if i was planning to move house. Id save really for house itself, furnishing etc. Or perhaps save enough for 2 deposits, getting one house on a buy-to-let.

 

[Marky_]

I'm going to say Yes!

 

[Revels]

Nop.

Save for a house.

 

[Timmay]

theres a nice acid yellow one in the for sale section!

 

[Munday]

If you can afford it, why not. If you don't have the money to buy it.. don't bother.

 

[172Ben]

Definately do it!!

 

[Laura]

Nop.

Save for a house.

already done all the saving now lol

tbh id probably end up too skint to even be able to put fuel in it lol

i also have to give 30 days notice to get my money out of my savings, dont think anyone would hold a v6 for 30 days while i got my money haha

 

[Maxx411]

Do It

Or give me the money and il do it

Oooh and the 17,500 for the insurance...WTF!!!!

 

[Laura]

jesus, insurance for me is only 1400

 

[sh33n]

If you're changing jobs it would be sensible to at least wait until any probationary period was over.

 

[Baz 172]

Do it....!!!! At least you can say I had one of those once

If I had the chance I would for sure.

 

[m4rkie23]

dont think by telling jesus that you'l get it any cheaper

 

[Maxx411]

jesus, insurance for me is only 1400

Im 18 and my insurance hate me..iv decided

well obviously lol

 

[ForceIndia]

I wouldn't. Fuel and servicing are nasty, and the value's aren't as solid as they used to be. Might be a 14k car to buy, but they cost a lot to run compared to a 172.

 

[trailerparktrev]

All being well saving for a house - but how long will it take you to save around £45k for a deposit??

 

[Mells]

non - house much more important esp if your at home still. Why dont you rent?

 

[Ali]

PMSL! Just don't go for any Enlarged Plenum chambers!

Amazing cars tho! - Nothing comes close imo.

 

[Ali]

How so, mines worth the same now as it was when i bought it. And i've put 10k on them...I'll never sell mine. Mark my words. I'd rather save up another 16k for another car than sell!

 

[Laura]

well IF i get this job... i could potentially be earning quite alot each more month.. i guess we will have to see lol

 

[cat171]

Lol, Laura,
a while ago when I was asked to start a thread 'have you ever driven a v6?'

You said something like, "I drove my mates one, it was nothing special"

Now your debating whether or not to get one ?? Love it.


That aside, it's a car well worth owning imo.

 

[Timmay]

fingers crossed

 

[C.J]

Nope, house first imo

 

[mace¬]

For that reason don't do it. It will take the enjoyment away from owning it.

i stand by that, nothing special to drive, but to look at ... wow

lol! Aye! Another dreamer!

 

[Christopher]

I used to really want one too... i very nearly bought an average-mile Mk1 instead of my 182.

Nowadays, they do very little for me, i must admit. :S

You NEED to drive one too.

LOL! Be honest. Have you actually driven one or are you talking out the side of your head! Driving it is as special as lookin at it!! Even more so actually!

 

[Big Iain]

buy the house and a vee, They cost near enough the same as any 1*2 I had to run!

 

[Christopher]

Isn't a major service inc. belts over £1k?

 

[Stphn1985]

well obviously lol

lol

 

[Ali]

Approx, but you can buy cars that have had the work done. Big service for a 172 inc belts is about half that!

 

[Bjorn]

I wouldn't, but guess i wouldnt buy a house now either.

Are they really worth it just for the looks? And when your driving it you cant appreciate its looks.

 

[Chrisjk]

I know of a nice ph1 for sale, £10995 janspeed exhaust, carbon bonnet and side pods...

It was more a reply to Iain's comment about a Vee being the same to run as a 1*2.

My major service on my Ph1... inc. all belts and a new water pump was only £370!

That's before you factor in tyres being £140 ish a pop and 22-odd MPG if driven the same as a 1*2.

 

[Alan]

I'd rather a series 2 S2000..

 

[mace¬]

I'd rather a series 2 S2000..

Or a minter of an E30 M3
