My philosophy with cars is there is no point spending £30k+ because they lose money so quickly. You can get some great cars for naff all money. I purchased my Vectra in 2008 with 48k on the clock for £4400.. Has every toy you can imagine on it including the self dimming rear view mirror. Now has 82K and I just want a change. Just done an online valuation and I should get about £1300 trade in. Damn good value in my book to have lost £3100 in 5 years motoring.
Problem is now days people junk cars after they are about 4 years old. Madness when you think modern engines are so good.
I have a few mates who lease cars. 1 has a merc at £250 a month.. so paying £3k a year on a car you have nothing to show for at the end of it?! confuses the hell out of me. Granted some people do 30k miles a year or whatever but most of my mates don't.
I have driven a few 'quick' diesels but with my minimal commute it would kill he engine. Petrol is the best way for me tbh.
to throw an extra one into the mix you can now get older RS6's for around £10k.. I have driven one a few years back.. a whole new world of silly they are. would love one but I cannot justify that to the mrs lol. She will think i am cheating on her having to go to the petrol station so much. :lol

Lord,
Grant me the WD-40 to move those things that are stuck, the Duck tape to fasten those things that are loose, And the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen
