New Car

[Pompey Gaz]

I've found a beast I want.

Not gunna say the make or model but it has some letters after it :P I know I'm being vague but i don't want the make and model to put you off lol, its not a toyota :(

Year: 2001

Milage: 102500 which is a bit high but its recently serviced

Colour: Silver

it's a 1.6 16v, insurance group 9, front air bags, power steering, Remote Central locking, alarm immobiliser, electric windows and sunroof, mot till 24 september 2009, tax till october 2009

I'll post what it is when i get it but am viewing it and test driving on wednesday :D

Gotta insurance quote of £84 a month fully comp with a 150 excess lol

[Bizarra]

Best of luck, Gaz I hope you get it, if it's what you want. Even if it isn't a Toyota, it is better than being "Between cars" :D

Saxo VTS ..

Lada :lol2:

Sounds fine - 102000 miles isn't actually all that high on a 2001 and sometimes with modern cars high mileage can be a good thing - why well - quite often a lot of the common faults on a particular model will have been sorted on the high mileage car - faults youd have to be getting fixed yourself during your ownership of the low mileage car. Like for example modern turbodiesels - would you rather a 106 000 mile car that had a new turbo and flywheel fitted at 99 000 or (and lets suppose the flywheel and turbo were common problem areas on the car in question) one with 81 000 miles that had yet to have the turbo or flywheel done. As well as that high mileage cars are often cheaper and you can get a newer car for the same money.

Maybe you should still tell us what make it is - it should be clear from the replys then who is knocking a make because its unfashionable or who is knocking it because it actually is a pile of doggie poo.

Good luck with it anyway

Either a Honda, or a Hyundai.

I bet Honda with more confidence. :)

Fancy a punt on the Derby? I can offer you great odds on the favourite Fame and Glory

Best of luck with her/him/it May you have many happy miles of safe driving

Don't go & leave us for the Citroen forum :( You won't get the same quality of abuse & banter there

[T600]

There are C1 owners on here aren't there, so I guess that sets a precedent.

Good luck with the new motor Gaz.

[Pompey Gaz]

[Karma Supra]

!Removed! hell your insurance is more than mine!

That said Trabants cost loads to insure

[Bibbs]

!Removed! hell your insurance is more than mine!

£84 a month, for 12 months? That's just over £1k ..

Geez man that's insane.

I've not paid that, since my first car.

All for a Sh1troen

[Kev Mc]

So you created a thread to ask people what they thought of your car, but didn't tell anyone what it was in case they didn't like it? Makes loads of sense

[Red Yaris 54]

Certainly seems a bit expensive to insure.........................Is your driving record THAT bad? :(

Sorry Gaz but I found that funny ;) A friend of mine had a Citroen a few years back and it spent more time being fixed than being driven
