decision problem for me here.
been offered a lucrative position with another firm in my profession which will involve a 80 mile daily commute to work + whatever that throws up in terms of sites/ meetings/ commitments. Therefore looking into diesel power for a '2nd' car. With that in mind im thinking Cupra Tdi 160 + remap (only £345 - RS tuning are the business
).
However, this would be brand new purchase (why - well £13,7 gets me a full spec ibiza or i can pay £9k for an 04 with 35k or so on the clock - whats the point in that - no warranty etc - hence the new purchase - which is also the '2007' facelift model.)
BUT - i was planning on some throttle bodies for the 172 to coincide with my 25th bday (insurance cheaper etc) - this would be circa £3-4k dependant on exactly what was wanted etc - to be honest not fully looked into that, but always loved the whole TB thing, and the 'trumpets' :approve:
a further but is, the v6 has always been a very interesting choice, rare as anything up here in jockville - would be great to be a vee owner.
So the dilemma is this - buy a 2nd car (shitty diesel vectra for about £7k ) then when at 25 just plump for a 2nd hand vee, or
buy ibiza and continue with plans for the throttle bodies?
I cant really do the ibiza and v6 as it would mean £18-19k for the vee and £14k for the ibiza, with the 172 as a 'trade in' at some point.
hard decision.
Have to decide for the plate change (lead in time on ibiza is 10 weeks as well) and i need to decide if i commit to the ibiza thats really the end of the v6 plans, hence why bring it up now.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
