54 plate 2005 '180bhp' model
Silver, black leather, 50k.
Still cheap, I would have thought your be mid teens for one of those!
Are car sales struggling just now what with reee-sesh-'ion looming?

Its cheap-ish, but its not the 225 and the car job is on its arse.

Basically when the countries ecconomy starts to decline.
Yep Id have to have the 225 if I was after one, I just thought it was cheap enough to comment on
Anyone else finding bargains?

Yep just bought a 350z for £3K less than i sold one for in April/May.
To be fair i would have thought the 180BHP model would be more desirable now with fuel and tax increases!!

I was looking at these too. 1.8 is gonna be a little thirsty though. I do 500 - 750 miles a week so out the question really
Quite like the Audi A4 at the minute too. Might be something i consider in the future.
The pug is a bit fucked at the minute. Needs new discs and pads.

Generally I blame the media for getting people excited, however recession is happening in front of us now....its real!!
Fuel prices up
food prices up
etc
Today I heard electric/gas is to go up 35%
Mortgages are going to be thin on the offer until 2011.
People just dont have the money to spare that they used to.

Petrol prices have come down slightly but generally the cost of living has gone through the clouds in the last 12 months or so & my wages certainly have not followed suit
People are watching what they spend across the board!!

I just think the A3 is too common and looks crap in 5 door. I quite like having 5 doors

Roughly an hour per day over both sites!
Then possibly another 2-3hrs thinking about it/having silly thoughts/dreaming of a new car!!
I quite believe that if I actually had money to follow things through I could be pretty dangerous!!

I do have some theory behind my madness.
With my job I get 31 weeks of the year off, i'll probably spend alot of that time on my own in the house wondering what to do with myself. I figured that if I can gain a keen eye in the used car market there could be a few quid tax free in it from buying/selling a few motors a year. This would also keep my busy as ive sod all hobbies.
Im also self learning car maintainance, engine rebuild/repair etc.....plan on learning to weld at some point aswell.
You could say im in training
Thats one theory anyway.......ok you think im a bit of a roaster!! Any questions
